20 Summer Drinks You Need to Try

At Hurom, we’re all about making healthy choices, and when it comes to summer drinks, our approach is the same. Fresh ingredients juiced to perfection for the maximum retention of nutrients and, of course, flavor. 

Get ready to take your summer juicing game to the next level with these 20 drink recipes I’m about to list. They’re fun, easy to make, and healthy.

Best Ingredients to Juice in June, July, and August

June, July, and August bring a wide range of fresh fruits that are ideal for summer drink recipes. Cucumbers, watermelons, berries, mangoes, peaches, and nectarines are the best ingredients to juice in summer, as they’re in season and quite refreshing. 

In the summer, you should juice ingredients with high water content, like cucumber, celery, melon, and watermelon. They’re light, refreshing, and hydrating, which is what you want on a hot summer day. 

Berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, hit their peak early to mid-summer. They are packed with antioxidants and add natural sweetness to any juice blend.

I also like to mix some veggies in my summer juicing to ensure I get the health benefits. Leafy greens like spinach and kale grow well early in the summer and can be juiced alongside apples or citrus to balance their bitterness. 

Stone fruits, such as peaches and nectarines, which ripen in July and August, are also perfect for summer drinks (with and without alcohol). 

Non-Alcoholic Summer Drinks for Holidays

Let’s start with some refreshing non-alcoholic summer drinks you can easily make at home with your Hurom juicer. These mocktails skip the added sugars found in store-bought juices and rely on fresh ingredients for real flavor.

1. Citrus Sunrise Cooler

This fresh mix of citrus fruits and pomegranate is packed with vitamin C and antioxidants. It’s perfect for cooling down on a summer morning. The tangy-sweet profile is bright and refreshing, especially when served over ice.

  1. Wash and prepare all the ingredients

  2. Add them into the hopper of your Hurom juicer. 

  3. Extract the juice and give it a stir

  4. Add ice cubes and enjoy. 

2. Mango Pineapple Cooler

This tropical non-alcoholic summer drink blends mango and pineapple for a sweet, smooth, and tangy flavor. Mango adds richness, while pineapple supports digestion thanks to bromelain, an enzyme that helps break down proteins. It works well as a light mocktail to enjoy with lunch or dinner

Estimated calories per serving: 145 calories

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup mango 

  • ½ cup pineapple juice or 1 cup pineapple chunks

  • ½ lime

  • 2-3 fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare ingredients. 

  2. Add all the ingredients to your Hurom juicer. 

  3. Extract the juice and transfer to a glass. 

  4. Add ice cubes, garnish with mint leaves, and serve. 

3. Coconut Mojito Mocktail

This is one of my favorite summer drinks. It’s light, hydrating, and comes together in minutes. This hydrating mocktail combines the electrolytes of coconut water with the tangy flavor of lime and the cooling aroma of mint. It's the perfect non-alcoholic refresher for hot afternoons.

Estimated calories per serving: 52 calories

Ingredients:

  • ¾ cup coconut water

  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice

  • 6–8 mint leaves 

  • ½ cup crushed ice (optional)

  • 1 tsp honey or agave (optional, +9 calories if added)

  2. Add lime juice and coconut water.

  4. Sweeten with honey or agave if desired.

  5. Garnish with a mint sprig and serve cold.

Summer Drinks for Cocktail Parties

Of course, when it comes to summer drinks, there have to be summer cocktails. Here are my favorite picks besides the usual frozen margaritas and sangrias: 

4. Sea Breeze

Light, crisp, and slightly tart, the Sea Breeze is a classic and easy summer cocktail that combines vodka with fruit juices for a refreshing beach vibe. The superfood cranberry offers a touch of sweetness, balanced by the bitterness of grapefruit. Plus, cranberries are known for promoting urinary tract health. 

Estimated calories per serving: 180 calories

Ingredients:

  • 1½ oz vodka

  • 3 oz cranberry juice (2 cups of cranberries)

  • ½ grapefruit

  • Lime wedge (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

  1. Add the cranberries and grapefruit to your Hurom juicer and extract their juice. 

  2. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.

  3. Add vodka, cranberry juice, and grapefruit juice.

  4. Shake gently and strain into a chilled highball glass over fresh ice.

  5. Garnish with a lime wedge and serve immediately.

5. Tequila Sunrise

The Tequila Sunrise delivers tropical flavor with a smooth citrus base and a dramatic swirl of grenadine. It’s a poolside favorite with a gentle sweetness. Since it uses tequila, it can be somewhat strong, so take it easy with these. 

Estimated calories per serving: 190 calories

Ingredients:

  • 1½ oz tequila

  • 1 orange, peeled

  • ½ oz grenadine

  • Orange slice & maraschino cherry (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

  1. Make the fresh orange juice with your Hurom juicer. 

  2. Fill a tall glass with ice.

  3. Pour in the tequila and orange juice and stir gently.

  4. Slowly drizzle grenadine over the top (it will settle at the bottom to create the signature “sunrise” effect.)

  5. Garnish with an orange slice and a cherry. Do not stir before serving.

6. Bay Breeze

This tropical take on the Sea Breeze swaps grapefruit for pineapple, adding a sweeter, fruitier profile. It’s light, fruity, and easy to sip on a hot day. And as I mentioned earlier, pineapple is great for digestion, so this drink can pair well with summer meals. 

Estimated calories per serving: 185 calories

Ingredients:

  • 1½ oz vodka

  • 2 oz cranberry juice (1½ cups cranberries)

  • 2 oz pineapple juice (1 cup pineapple chunks)

  • Pineapple wedge (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

  1. Juice the cranberries and pineapple in your Hurom juicer. 

  2. Fill a shaker with ice.

  3. Combine vodka, cranberry juice, and pineapple juice.

  4. Shake well and strain into a glass filled with ice.

  5. Garnish with a pineapple wedge.

  6. Serve immediately.

Summer Drinks for BBQ

Summer calls for outdoor barbeques, especially on weekends or holidays. Although beer is typically the go-to drink with barbeque, you can make yours even more special with signature drinks. The recipes below complement smoky grilled dishes and bring something a little different to the table.

10. Spicy Pineapple Ginger Juice

Bold and tropical with a zesty kick, this juice combines sweet pineapple with fresh ginger and lime for a spicy, tangy treat. A dash of chili powder adds optional heat. The ginger in this juice will also aid digestion, so you don’t feel bloated after eating all that meat.

11. Smoky Tomato Lime Juice

This savory, smoky drink pairs perfectly with grilled dishes. It’s somewhat inspired by a non-alcoholic Bloody Mary and packs in anti-inflammatory and immunity-boosting benefits of tomatoes. It’s a little tangy and spicy, so it may not be ideal for everyone, but it’s definitely worth trying.

Estimated calories per serving: 50 calories

Ingredients:

  • 2 tomatoes

  • ½ lime

  • ⅛ tsp smoked paprika

  • A pinch of salt

  • ¼ cup cold soda

Instructions:

12. Blueberry Mint Iced Tea

It contains blueberries, which are a good source of disease-fighting antioxidants. But the real hero in this drink recipe is the fresh mint. Those leaves have a naturally cool effect on the taste buds, but they also aid in digestion and may even improve brain function

This one is a personal favorite. It uses caramelized grilled peaches that add a deep, smoky sweetness to classic lemonade. Peaches are a good source of vitamin A, C, niacin, and folate, all of which are essential micronutrients that support various functions in the body. And that final splash of sparkling water lifts the drink and balances out the rich peach notes.

Summer Drinks for Fourth of July

If you’re planning to watch the Fourth of July fireworks, do so sipping on these summery drinks: 

14. Red, White & Blueberry Juice

Festive and colorful, this layered juice combines sweet strawberry, cooling coconut water, and tangy blueberry in a patriotic trio. The key is pouring each layer slowly for a striking visual effect. It’s a much better alternative to creating drinks with syrups that contain artificial colors. 

Estimated calories per serving: 88 calories

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup strawberries

  • ½ cup coconut water

  • 1 cup blueberry juice

Instructions:

  1. Juice the strawberries and blueberries separately in your Hurom juicer.

  • ¼ cup sparkling lemon soda

Summer Juice to Enjoy at the Beach or Pool

Juices that feel light, cooling, and tropical are perfect when you're under the sun. These blends work well in insulated tumblers and can keep you refreshed without feeling heavy.

16. Pineapple Coconut Chiller

This one reminds me of a pina colada, but it’s lighter and made with only fresh ingredients. I like to freeze the pineapple before juicing it, which creates a sorbet-like texture that feels extra cold and refreshing. Then I pour in coconut water to make it smoother and easier to drink. Pineapple is also rich in antioxidants, which may help reduce inflammation and support recovery after a long day outdoors.

Estimated calories per serving: 80 calories

Ingredients:

  • 1½ cups pineapple or 1 cup pineapple juice

  • ½ cup coconut water

  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice

Instructions:

  3. Add crushed ice and stir thoroughly.

  4. Serve immediately with a pineapple wedge or lime round if desired.

17. Mango Mint Splash

Sweet mango meets fresh lime and mint for a juicy splash that feels both cooling and exotic. The soda is optional, but I highly recommend it. Besides, mango is one of those sweet treats you can consume guilt-free. According to a 2023 research, mango contains bioactive compounds, like mangiferin, that may help reduce inflammation, support healthy blood pressure, and improve insulin sensitivity

Estimated calories per serving: 100 calories

Ingredients:

  • ½ medium-sized mango or 1 cup mango chunks

  • ½ lime

  • 5-6 fresh mint leaves

  3. Add mango juice, lime juice, and honey (if using).

  4. Top with chilled soda or still water.

  5. Stir gently and serve over ice for extra chill.

18. Berry Citrus Wave

If you like frozen drinks by the pool, this one is for you. You can use store-bought frozen berries or freeze fresh ones yourself. Either way, you’ll get a refreshing drink that’s naturally sweet and full of essential vitamins. 

Estimated calories per serving: 92 calories

Ingredients: 

  • 1 cup strawberries

  • 1 cup blueberries

  • 1 orange

Instructions: 

  1. Juice the orange first in your Hurom juicer and keep it separate. 

  2. Then thaw the berries slightly and juice them. 

  3. In a glass, mix the two juices and serve. 

Low-Cal Summer Drinks

Summer drinks don’t need to be heavy on calories. Most of the drinks I’ve listed above are under 100 kcal per serving. But if you’re extra cautious and want low-calorie but refreshing drinks, here are some ideas. 

19. Cucumber Lime Detox Juice

Cucumber is low in calories and perfect for a light, hydrating summer drink. I know cucumber water can be boring, so I added some zesty lime and fresh mint to this recipe. This combo also helps hydrate your body and your skin, which matters even more in hot weather.

Estimated calories per serving: 22 calories

Ingredients:

  • ½ English cucumber

  • ¼ lime

  • 6–8 mint leaves

Celery is a great source of vitamin K, while spinach adds fiber and plant-based iron. It’s a simple way to refresh and recharge. For best results, use a juicer that handles fibrous ingredients like celery with ease.

Estimated calories per serving: 30 calories

Ingredients:

  • 2 celery stalks

  • 1 cup spinach, chopped

Which alcoholic drink is the best for summer?

The best alcoholic summer drink is a light and fruity cocktail like a Mojito, a Margarita, or a Tequila Sunrise.

Ingredients like mint, orange, and pineapple make them especially refreshing in hot weather.

Kale Juice Benefits, Recipes, and How to Make It at Home

If you’re like me and not a big fan of leafy greens like kale, juicing may just be the best alternative. Kale juice packs in all the nutrients and antioxidants. And you can make it tasty by adding other vegetables and fruits. 

It wouldn’t be wrong to call kale a superfood because of the numerous benefits it offers. The vitamins and minerals in it support a wide range of bodily processes. The antioxidants in it help prevent life-threatening diseases. Plus, it’s super low-calorie, and also great for weight loss diets. 

Let’s look at the health benefits of kale in more detail. I’ll also share some easy and delicious recipes along the way and teach you how to juice kale with and without a juicer.

Can You Juice Kale?

Yes, you can juice kale easily and get numerous health benefits this leafy green vegetable offers. In fact, kale is a key ingredient in many green juices, which are more vegetable-dominant and super healthy. 

Juicing kale is a quick and easy solution to add more of it to your diet. Whenever I’m not getting enough greens through my meals, I try to get them through simple yet delicious juice recipes that use kale with a bunch of other ingredients. 

I recommend Tuscan kale, baby kale, and Red Russian for juicing as they’re milder in taste. Curly kale can also be used for juicing, but it has a slightly bitter taste, which can be balanced by the sweetness of fruits. 

Kale Juice Benefits

Kale is a food whose benefits go beyond simple nutrition. Its nutrients and compounds have been extensively studied for their health benefits, ranging from weight management to reducing the risk of chronic diseases. 

Here are the health benefits of kale (which you can also get from juicing it): 

1. Rich in Antioxidants

Kale is an antioxidant powerhouse, as it contains vitamin C, beta carotene, flavonoids, and polyphenols. These antioxidants fight oxidative stress, which is when free radicals in your body damage healthy cells. 

Kale is also rich in quercetin and kaempferol, two flavonoids with proven health benefits. Quercetin, for instance, is anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer and may also help regulate blood pressure. Similarly, a review of existing research found that kaempferol has cancer-fighting properties. 

The vitamin C in kale also fights oxidative stress and helps with the synthesis of collagen in the body. Among leafy greens, kale ranks as one of the richest sources of vitamin C.

2. Good Source of Vitamin K

Kale is also a rich source of Vitamin K, an essential micronutrient that plays a key role in blood clotting and helps prevent excessive bleeding after an injury.

Just a cup of raw kale leaves can provide nearly 94% of the daily recommended amount of vitamin K (80.3 micrograms). 

3. Low Calories, Lots of Nutrients (Good for Weight Loss)

Kale has very low calorie density, meaning it packs fewer calories in a relatively large portion. One cup of raw kale has 8.86 calories. But you’d be surprised by just how many different nutrients are packed in that small number. 

Kale offers carbohydrates (most of which are fiber and very little is sugar), calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, copper, zinc, vitamin A, C, E, and K, along with a bunch of other compounds. 

In addition, kale has a low glycemic index. It won’t spike your insulin levels abruptly. It’s particularly good for people with diabetes. 

All of this makes kale ideal for a weight loss diet. Consuming kale can provide the many nutrients it contains without the excessive caloric load. That way, you can stay in a calorie deficit, which is the key to losing weight. 

4. High in Beta-Carotene

Kale contains a compound called beta-carotene, which is also abundant in carrots. Our bodies convert beta-carotene into vitamin A, which is used in various bodily functions. 

For instance, vitamin A is crucial for healthy vision, especially in low light. It’s also an important nutrient for pregnant women and breastfeeding moms. 

One cup of kale provides 591 micrograms of beta-carotene. 

5. Anti-Cancer Compounds

Besides quercetin and kaempferol, kale has a couple of other compounds that may help lower the chances of cancer. 

It contains sulphoraphane, a compound that prevents cancer at a molecular level, according to a paper published in Frontiers in Oncology

Another substance in kale that has anti-cancer effects is indole-3-carbinol

If you’re someone who is considered high risk for cancer, consuming foods like kale that contain disease-fighting compounds may help lower that risk. 

How to Juice Kale at Home

You can juice kale at home with a juicer, I do it regularly. It can be juiced on its own or with other vegetables or fruits. 

A bunch of kale makes about a cup of juice (8 oz or 250 mg). 

Simply assemble your juice following the instructions specific to the model you have. Here’s how I usually make kale juice:

  1. Wash the kale leaves and stems thoroughly under cool running water.

  2. Remove the stems (I skip this step sometimes if I’m using a juicer that handles whole leaves well).

  3. Chop the leaves (this depends on your juicer, as some models like Hurom can take whole kale leaves with stems).  

  4. Add the kale through the juicer's feeding chute. 

  5. Extract the juice into a container or glass. 

You can use any type of juicer to juice kale. However, some models handle leafy greens much better than others.

Which Juicer is Best for Juicing Kale?

A slow juicer is the best choice for juicing kale, as it has a better yield than centrifugal juicers. Also, when you use a slow juicer, most of the nutrients stay intact. In contrast, conventional juicers may damage some of the micronutrients, like certain vitamins and antioxidants. 

For leafy greens like kale, I always prefer a slow or masticating juicer. Since vegetables are not always as juicy as fruits, a slow juicer really shines here. It gently presses out every last drop, so you get more juice with less waste.

Hurom juicers are known for their Slow Squeeze Technology, which helps preserve the nutrient profile of the ingredients.

How to Make Kale Juice Without a Juicer?

You can make kale juice without a juicer if you have a blender. All you need to do is add the kale to the blender with a little bit of water and blend it. Then, run the mixture through a nut milk bag or cheesecloth to collect the pulp. 

Here’s the step-by-step process:

  1. Remove the stems of the kale. 

  2. Wash and prepare the kale leaves. 

  3. Chop them down to a smaller size. 

  4. Add two cups of kale leaves and a cup of water to the blender. 

  5. Blend until all the leaves are broken up and integrated with the water. 

  6. Take a container like a bowl or jug and line it with the nut milk bag or cheesecloth. 

  7. Pour the mixture from the blender into the container. 

  8. Now, gather up the bag or cheesecloth and squeeze it tightly so that all of the juice is extracted from it. 

  9. Pour the juice into a glass and enjoy!


However, this is not the most efficient way to juice kale, as blenders, much like centrifugal juicers, may not keep all nutrients intact. Still, it’s an alternate way to get kale juice if you don’t have a juicer. 

Tips for Juicing Kale

Here are some helpful tips to make kale juicing a breeze:

  • Wash your kale thoroughly: Whether you’ve bought fresh kale from the farmer’s market or packaged from a grocery store, make sure to wash it thoroughly multiple times (and I mean thoroughly).

  • Include the stems for even more nutrition: I like adding the stems to the juicer, too as they’re full of nutrients. Just keep in mind that stems are actually bitter than leaves, so they may influence the taste. 

  • Add other vegetables and fruits: Kale juice on its own is not the tastiest. So I recommend mixing in other vegetables or fruits, like the ones I mentioned in the recipes above. It makes the flavor more enjoyable and adds extra nutrients too.

 

  • Feed kale between harder produce: When using a centrifugal juicer, feed kale leaves between hard ingredients like apples or pineapples. This will help push the greens through effectively. This, of course, isn’t an issue in masticating juicers. 

  • Drink the juice immediately or store properly: For the best taste and nutrient retention, drink the juice immediately or store it properly in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Check out our tips for storing fresh juice

FAQs

How do you make kale juice?

You can make kale juice with a juicer or blender. The former is a better choice as it’s convenient and requires minimal effort. Both centrifugal and slow juicers can produce kale juice. However, slow juicers have a better output. 

Simply wash the kale, feed it through the juicer with any other ingredients in your juice recipe, and voila, you have a nutritious glass of kale juice. 

What type of kale is best for juicing? 

Tuscan, curly, Red Russian, and baby kale are the best for juicing. These varieties have a slightly milder taste than others that tend to be bitter. 

What is kale juice good for?

Kale juice is an excellent source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support overall health. It’s especially rich in vitamin C and vitamin K, and it contains beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. It also provides calcium, magnesium, potassium, and zinc, all of which play a role in bone health, muscle function, and immune support.

Most importantly, kale juice will give you important antioxidants that prevent oxidation and reduce the risk of chronic diseases like cancer. 

Is kale anti-aging?

Yes, kale is an anti-aging food that fights free radicals, which are associated with aging. The polyphenols, flavonoids, beta-carotene, and vitamin C in kale have an antioxidant effect, which may help slow down aging, including the aging of skin texture. 

In fact, kale extract is a popular ingredient in organic skincare products that reduce fine lines and wrinkles. 

What to mix with kale for juice?

Kale works well with a variety of other ingredients for juicing. You can mix kale with other leafy greens, kiwis, apples, carrots, beets, and citrus fruits. 

If you want low-calorie kale juice, follow the 80/20 rule of juicing and ensure 80% of the ingredients are vegetables, including kale. On the other hand, if you want to mask the taste of kale completely, lean more on fruits like oranges, pineapples, lemons, and apples. 

Is it good to drink kale juice every day?

Yes, drinking kale juice every day can be good, as long as it’s part of a well-rounded diet with other whole foods. It can provide micronutrients that have various proven health benefits. Besides juice, also try incorporating whole vegetables in your diet so you can get your fiber fix. 

Who should not drink kale juice?

People taking blood thinners, such as warfarin, should be cautious with kale juice. Kale is high in vitamin K, which can interfere with how these medications work by promoting blood clotting. If you're on blood thinners, it's important to consult your doctor before adding vitamin K-rich foods or juices to your diet.

Can you add kale to a smoothie?

Yes, you can add kale to most smoothies. In fact, it’s a great way to add kale to your diet, as the slightly bitter flavor of kale will easily be overpowered by the flavor of fruits in the smoothie. You can add kale to berry or mango smoothies.

15+ Cold-Pressed Juice Recipes That Take 5 Minutes (Or Less)

Cold-pressed juicing doesn’t have to be time-consuming. In fact, some of the best juices take just five minutes or less to make. 

With the right juicer, you can enjoy a refreshing blend of fruits and vegetables without the hassle.

I’ll share some quick cold-pressed juice recipes that take little to no prep time and are packed with nutrients, perfect for busy mornings or mid-day pick-me-ups.

Is It Healthy to Drink Cold-Pressed Juice Every Day?

Yes, drinking cold-pressed juice daily can be healthy, as long as it’s part of a balanced diet that includes plenty of whole foods. However, relying solely on juice isn’t ideal for long-term nutrition unless you're doing a short-term juice cleanse.

Cold-pressed juices retain more nutrients than store-bought options, which are often loaded with added sugars and preservatives. That makes them a great addition to your routine, just not a complete replacement.

I recommend balancing juicing with eating fruits and vegetables in their whole form.

How Long Does It Take to Make Cold-Pressed Juice?

Making cold-pressed juice can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 20 minutes, depending on the volume, ingredients, and the juicer. 

The more juice you need to make, the longer it will take, as you’ll need to make it in batches, especially with a smaller cold-pressed juicer. Most of the time goes into prep, which depends on ingredients and whether your juicer can take whole fruits or vegetables. 

Some ingredients like oranges, grapefruit, pineapple, and beets take longer, as they require peeling. On the other hand, berries, apples, and grapes hardly require any prep. Leafy greens also take some time, thanks to thorough washing. 

If you have a juicer like Hurom, which cuts prep time significantly, you can make cold-pressed juice in minutes. For example, the Hurom H400 Slow Juicer takes less than a minute to assemble. It can also accommodate whole foods in its hopper, eliminating the need to cut them smaller. That means fresh, nutrient-rich juice with minimal effort and no time wasted.

How Long Does Homemade Cold-Pressed Juice Last?

Homemade cold-pressed juice can last up to 72 hours, provided it’s packed in an airtight container and refrigerated. Don’t let the juice sit at room temperature for hours. Either consume immediately or store it in the fridge. 

Check out our tips for storing cold-pressed juice.

Cold-Pressed Juice Recipes for Everyday

Here are some of my favorite cold-pressed juice recipes. They are quick, easy, and made with healthy ingredients you can find year-round.

2. Green Daily

This basic green juice is easy to make and provides important nutrients. For instance, spinach is a great source of iron, something people are often deficient in.

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium orange, peeled

  • ½ large grapefruit, peeled

  • ¼ cup fresh mint leaves

Cold-Pressed Juice Recipes for Weight Loss

In case you didn’t know, cold-pressed juices can be great for weight loss. Not all of them, of course, just the ones that are low in calories and packed with ingredients. 

Here are three of my favorite juice blends that support weight loss and actually taste good too:

4. Slim Down Citrus

Metabolism-friendly ginger teams with lemon and cucumber for an ultra-light, zesty detox sipper. There has been plenty of research on how ginger may help with weight loss. It targets free radicals and even stabilizes blood sugars. Plus, this drink has barely any calories. 

Estimated calories per serving: 25 calories

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole lemon, peeled

  • ½ large cucumber, sliced

  • 1-inch knob fresh ginger, trimmed

Instructions:

  1. Rinse, peel, and chop ingredients as needed.

  2. Juice cucumber, ginger, and lemon in a Hurom juicer. 

  3. Pour over ice and enjoy immediately.

5. Bloat Buster

When on a weight-loss diet, people often feel bloated because they’re eating more fiber. That can certainly be the case initially if you’re going from a fat-rich diet to something healthier. This drink may help prevent and ease bloating. 

How? It’s the bromelain-rich pineapple that eases digestion. The addition of celery increases the antioxidants even further and brings down the glycemic index of the juice by balancing the sugars in the pineapple. 

Estimated calories per serving: 101 calories

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup pineapple chunks

  • 2 large celery stalks, chopped

  • ½ lime, peeled

Instructions:

  1. Wash the pineapple and celery; peel the lime.

  2. Juice all three together with your Hurom juicer. 

  3. Stir and drink fresh. 

6. Fat Flush Green

I find green juices to be the best choice when I’m trying to shed some pounds. That’s because leafy greens typically have very low calories and numerous vitamins and minerals. This recipe calls for kale, which has a very low energy density. Plus, it has anti-cancer ingredients and may even help lower your cholesterol. 

Estimated calories per serving: 129 calories

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups chopped kale

  • 1 medium green apple, cored

  • ¼ cup fresh parsley sprigs

Instructions:

  1. Rinse the greens and the apple.

  2. Add all three ingredients to the hopper of your Hurom juicer or feed them through the chute. 

  3. Run the juicer and extract. 

  4. Drink immediately or refrigerate.

Cold-Pressed Juice Cleanse Recipes

Detox juice recipes can come in handy when you want to reset, flush out toxins, and feel lighter fast. Whether you’re doing a short cleanse or just need a health boost, these are a few of my go-to blends.

7. Detox Green

Although this is a green juice with spinach and cucumber, the real heroes of this recipe are lemon and ginger. These two ingredients make it an anti-inflammatory juice. The antioxidants in ginger (gingerol) and in lemon (phenols and flavonoids) have an anti-inflammatory effect and can fight disease-causing free radicals. 

Estimated calories per serving: 38 calories

Ingredients:

  • 2 packed cups of spinach

  • 1 medium cucumber, sliced

  • ½ lemon, peeled

  • 1-inch piece of ginger

Instructions:

  1. Wash ingredients thoroughly.

  2. Juice spinach, cucumber, lemon, and ginger with Hurom. 

  3. Stir and drink immediately.

8. Liver Love

If there’s one food that’s great for the liver, it’s beetroot. And this juice may be a good way to provide a cleanse. A study even explored the effect of beetroot on the liver and found that it has the potential to treat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. 

This juice will have a strong beetroot taste, so feel free to add an apple to sweeten it a bit. 

Estimated calories per serving: 150-180 calories

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium beetroot, peeled

  • 2 medium carrots, chopped

  • 1 apple (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Scrub and peel as needed.

  2. Place the ingredients in the hopper of your Hurom juicer.

  3. Extract the juice and enjoy. 


9. Clear Skin Cleanse

Cucumber has a calming, cooling effect on skin. However, it also provides hydration, which is often all your skin needs. You can place cucumbers on your eyes or mist cucumber water on your skin, but I believe the best hydration comes from within. This refreshing juice can pair well with your skincare routine. 

Estimated calories per serving: 20 calories

Ingredients:

  • ½ large cucumber, sliced

  • ¼ cup fresh mint leaves

  • ½ lemon, peeled

Instructions:

  1. Rinse produce well.

  2. Juice cucumber, mint, and lemon in your Hurom juicer. 

  3. Add ice cubes and serve. 

Cold-Pressed Juice Recipes for Energy

A good pick-me-up juice made in my masticating juicer is sometimes all I need to start the day just right. If you are also looking for an energy booster before hitting the gym, a nutritious glass of juice can do the trick. 

10. Iron Boost

Iron doesn’t give you energy directly, but it helps your body use oxygen efficiently, which is key for fighting fatigue. This juice combines spinach and beetroot, both known for their iron content, with the refreshing sweetness of orange.

Estimated calories per serving: 104 calories

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium beetroot, peeled

  • 1 medium orange, peeled

  • 1 cup of spinach

Instructions:

  1. Wash and prep all ingredients.

  2. Juice all the ingredients with your Hurom juicer. 

  3. Stir and enjoy right away.

12. Kickstart Shot

This is actually an energy shot with potent ginger, carrots, and apples. Ginger helps regulate blood sugar, which keeps your energy levels regulated and prevents fatigue. Meanwhile, the natural sugars from the fruits give you a clean energy kick, especially if you take this shot before a workout. 

Estimated calories per serving: 82 calories

Ingredients:

  • 2-inch knob fresh ginger, trimmed

  • 1 large carrot, chopped

  • ½ medium apple, cored

Instructions:

  1. Clean and chop produce.

  2. Place ginger, carrot, and apple in your Hurom juicer. 

  3. Extract the juice. 

  4. Shoot it fresh or dilute with cold water.

13. Tropical Power

Turmeric root brings natural curcumin, an antioxidant, while pineapple and orange add carbohydrates for sustained energy. Curcumin is anti-inflammatory, so this juice may be a good choice for individuals who feel fatigued due to a chronic condition. 

Estimated calories per serving: 148 calories

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup pineapple chunks

  • 1 medium orange, peeled

  • 1-inch fresh turmeric root

Instructions:

  1. Rinse fruits; scrub turmeric.

  2. Add all three ingredients to your Hurom juicer. 

  3. Extract the juice and serve immediately over ice.

Cold-Pressed Juice Recipes for Kids

Cold-pressed juice is also a fun, healthy way for kids to enjoy more fruits and vegetables. You can make it in batches and store it in reusable glass juice bottles. The kids can drink it in the morning or when they get back from school. 

14. Sweet Rainbow

Sweet apple and carrot team up with vitamin C–rich strawberries to create a vibrant, kid-friendly juice. Just one cup of strawberries is enough to meet your child’s daily vitamin C requirement. 

Estimated calories per serving: 147 calories

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium apple, cored

  3. Add all ingredients to the hopper of your Hurom juicer.

  4. Extract and serve chilled in a fun cup.

This is a thirst quencher, perfect for summers when kids are spending time outdoors playing. Watermelon packs in a lot of water content, which helps with hydration. The pineapple elevates the flavor, and mint brings freshness. Your kid will love this cold-pressed juice when they return from the playground. 

Estimated calories per serving: 91 calories

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup watermelon cubes 

  • ½ cup pineapple chunks

  • ¼ cup fresh mint leaves

Instructions:

  1. Wash the fruits and mint.

  2. Juice everything together with your Hurom juicer. 

  3. Serve immediately.

Cold-Pressed Vegetable Juice Recipes

You don’t always need fruit to make a great juice. Such juices are incredibly healthy as they have minimal sugar and loads of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. 

16. Garden Greens

Mineral-rich organic celery provides a healthy dose of potassium. Its antioxidants can potentially reduce the risk of conditions like high blood pressure, cancer, and even cognitive decline. 

This juice's celery and cucumber have high water content, so it may turn out a bit watery. If you want some pulp (more fiber) in this green juice, I suggest using a juicer like the Hurom H70 Slow Juicer, which retains some pulp in the juice. 

Estimated calories per serving: 62 calories

Ingredients:

  • 3 large celery stalks, chopped

  • 1 packed cup chopped kale

  • ½ large cucumber

Instructions:

  1. Rinse produce thoroughly.

  2. Juice kale, celery, and then cucumber in your Hurom juicer. 

  3. Pour over ice and enjoy.

  • 1 cup spinach

  • ½ medium beetroot, peeled and chopped

  • ½ lemon, peeled

FAQs

What is the best combination of vegetables to juice?

The best vegetable juice combinations balance nutrients, taste, and digestion. A great base is celery, cucumber, and spinach for hydration and minerals, combined with carrot or beetroot for sweetness and antioxidants. Since vegetable juices can be bland or even bitter, adding a bit of lemon or ginger can improve flavor. 

What is the 80/20 rule for juicing?

The 80/20 rule means using 80% vegetables and 20% fruits in your juice. This helps reduce sugar intake while still keeping the juice tasty. The goal of 80/20 juicing is to maintain a low glycemic impact, that is, preventing sudden insulin and blood sugar spikes. 

Which ingredients are the easiest to prepare for juicing?

Cucumbers, celery, carrots, apples, and oranges are easy-to-prepare juicing ingredients. They usually require just a quick rinse and chop. Leafy greens like spinach or kale can be used whole, and citrus can be juiced with or without peeling, depending on your juicer.

What juices can be made in a cold-press juicer?

Cold-press juicers can handle a wide variety of ingredients, including leafy greens (like kale and wheatgrass), hard veggies (like carrots and beets), soft fruits (like oranges and grapes), and herbs (like parsley or mint). They preserve more nutrients and yield more juice than centrifugal juicers.

Can juicing have negative effects?

While juicing is generally healthy, excessive juicing, especially with too much fruit, can lead to high sugar intake, blood sugar spikes, and nutrient imbalances. It can also reduce fiber intake. Some juice ingredients may interfere with medications. If you’re taking medications, it’s best to consult with your healthcare provider about foods to avoid.

How to Make Almond Milk in a Juicer

Tired of store-bought almond milk filled with preservatives or strange additives? Making fresh, delicious almond milk at home is easier than you think, especially with a slow juicer. 

While many recipes use a blender, a juicer can save you time and effort while producing a smooth, creamy result.

In this guide, you’ll learn exactly how to make almond milk in a juicer and enjoy a nutritious dairy alternative packed with flavor, fatty acids, and zero unnecessary additives.

Can You Use a Juicer For Almond Milk?

Yes, you can easily make almond milk in a juicer, especially a cold-press juicer. Not all juicers are good with almonds, especially centrifugal juicers. Besides almonds, cold-pressed or masticating juicers can also be used to make other types of nut milks, for example, cashew milk. 

Juicers are actually much more convenient than blenders for making almond milk. 

The juicer method skips the extra step of straining through cheesecloth, which you’d typically need if using a blender. With a Hurom or similar model, there’s usually no need for special attachments or strainers. Just check your user manual to confirm whether your juicer supports nut milk and if any extra parts are required.

How Many Almonds Do You Need to Make Almond Milk?

You need about a cup of almonds and four cups of water (1:4 ratio) to make an 8-ounce glass of almond milk. The number of almonds in a cup depends on the size of the almonds. 

This creates a light, 2% consistency that works well in coffee, smoothies, and flavored almond milk recipes. For a richer, creamier texture, try a 1:2 ratio instead. You’ll get a thicker almond-water mixture with more almond fibre and protein per serving.

Want a higher-protein almond milk drinker experience? Use fewer cups of milk and more almonds to increase nutritional benefits. Personally, I adjusted the ratio a few times until I found the perfect balance of flavor and consistency in my juicer.

Which Is the Best Almond Milk Juicer?

Slow juicers are the best kitchen appliances for making almond milk, and Hurom models stand out for their quality and consistency. This wellness brand designs juicers that handle nuts just as well as fruits and veggies, no extra step or strainer required.

Whether you’re using the family-sized Hurom H400 Easy Clean Juicer, the compact H320 Slow Juicer, or the sleek Hurom H70 for convenient storage, the juicer method stays the same. I love that I don’t have to change any parts, just add almonds with water, and you’re good to go.

How to Make Almond Milk with a Hurom Slow Juicer (Easy Almond Milk Recipe)

Here’s a detailed yet super-easy homemade almond milk recipe using a Hurom slow juicer: 

Ingredients: 

  • 1 cup raw almonds

  • 2 to 4 cups water

Instructions:

  1. Measure almonds: The first step is to measure the amount of almonds you need. The quantities in this recipe are for a single serving. 

  2. Soak almonds: This step is very important. Add water to almonds and soak them at room temperature for at least 8 hours (ideally overnight). Keep them covered as they soak. 

  3. Remove water and wash: After soaking, remove the water from the almonds and give them a good rinse. 

  4. Assemble your juicer: Now, put together your Hurom juicer, along with leftover pulp and juice containers. 

  5. Add the almonds and water: Add the almonds and cool water through the chute opening. 

  6. Extract the milk: Run the juicer until you get that creamy almond milk texture. Once done, open the spout to collect it into the container. 

Tip: To add flavor to your almond milk, you can add vanilla bean, cinnamon, cocoa powder, or even some dates. For a longer shelf life, store it in an airtight container and keep it refrigerated.


Benefits of Almond Milk 

Almonds are rich in essential nutrients, and almond milk carries many of those same nutritional benefits, especially when made fresh at home. This dairy alternative is a popular choice among non-dairy beverages for good reasons. 

Let’s explore why.

1. Great Nutritional Profile

Almonds are loaded with key vitamins and minerals that support overall wellness. Homemade almond milk retains many of those nutrients, even without the added fortification found in some commercial brands. Plus, you avoid unnecessary additives and preservatives that many store-bought versions include.

Just look at the nutrition facts for almond milk (100 ml): 

  • Calories: 15 kcal

  • Carbs: 1.31  g

  • Fiber: 0.2 g

  • Sugar: 0.81 g

  • Protein: 0.4 g

  • Fat: 0.96 g

  • Vitamin A: 90 μg

  • Vitamin E: 2.81 μg

  • Vitamin D: 1 μg

  • Potassium: 67 mg

  • Calcium: 184 mg

  • Phosphorus: 9 mg

2. Good Alternative to Dairy Milk

For those who are vegan or lactose-intolerant or perhaps both, almond milk is an excellent plant-based alternative to milk. You can add it to your coffee, tea, or any recipe that calls for dairy milk.

Although the nutritional profile is slightly different from dairy, almond milk still offers key vitamins and minerals, with fewer calories and no dairy protein. Also, it provides a similar creamy texture which makes it a reliable dairy alternative.

It’s estimated that 68% of the world population has lactose malabsorption, which means they can’t fully digest lactose, a sugar found in most dairy products. That makes almond milk a gentler, more digestible option for millions.

3. Rich in Vitamin E

Almond plant-based milk is an excellent source of vitamin E, an antioxidant. It has protective properties, as antioxidants fight disease-causing free radicals in your body. 

Research suggests that vitamin E may help reduce inflammation and the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease and cancer

4. Low-Calorie Drink

A 100 ml of homemade, unsweetened almond milk is just 15 kcal. That means a glass of almond milk, which is about 250 ml, is 37.5 kcal. That’s not bad at all.

Even though almonds themselves can be considered a high-calorie food, their milk isn’t as calorie-dense. It may easily be part of a weight-loss diet.

In comparison, a glass of cow milk provides 122 kcal, much higher than almond milk. Almond milk can be a good choice if you’re trying to lose fat by reducing your calorie intake. 

5. May Help Lower Cholesterol 

There are two main types of cholesterol: HDL (the good kind) and LDL (the bad kind). Studies suggest that almonds may help reduce LDL levels, which are linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.

In fact, a randomized controlled trial published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that snacking on almonds can significantly help lower LDL cholesterol. Since almond milk contains many of the same heart-healthy nutrients and fatty acids, it may offer similar cardiovascular benefits, especially as part of a balanced diet.

Making Almond Milk Couldn’t Get Easier!

Even though there are so many varieties of almond milk in the market, I always go back to making my own with a Hurom juicer. Of course, I love all the nutritional health benefits, but I also appreciate how cost-efficient it is. Store-bought almond milk and café lattes can really add up.

Using a slow juicer like Hurom makes the process simple and mess-free. If you’re already using it for healthy juices, why not make some nut milks too? You can even get creative with flavored almond milk like coconut, strawberry, or my personal favorite, chocolate almond milk. It’s a delicious almond milk upgrade that takes minimal effort.

Check out the entire Hurom slow juicer range!

FAQs

Can I make almond milk in my blender?

Yes, you can make almond milk using a blender. Soak raw almonds overnight, then blend them with fresh water to create an almond-water mixture. After blending, you’ll need to strain it using a nut milk bag or cheesecloth to separate the milk from the almond pulp. 

The blender method works, but it requires an extra step. The juicer method is much easier if you want a quicker, less messy process with dry almond pulp and creamy results.

Can you make almond milk with any juicer?

Not all juicers are suitable for making almond milk fresh. Masticating (cold-press/slow) juicers work best because they can effectively press the soaked almonds. Centrifugal juicers, on the other hand, are not ideal as they don’t handle nuts well.

What can you do with almond milk?

Almond milk can be used in smoothies, coffee (almond milk latte), baking, oatmeal, sauces, soups, or just as a dairy-free drink. It's a versatile alternative to cow’s milk and works well in both sweet and savory recipes.

How to use almond pulp?

You can use almond pulp in several ways after making almond milk. Add it to smoothies for fiber, or mix it into baked goods like cookies, muffins, or crackers. Once the almond pulp is completely dry, grind it into almond flour. It also works well in granola or homemade energy bites.

Which almonds are best for milk?

Raw, organic almonds with the skins on are ideal. Avoid salted or roasted almonds, as they can affect the taste and nutritional quality of the milk.

Can you have almond milk on a juice cleanse?

Technically, you can have almond milk during a juice cleanse as it’s a low-calorie drink. However, it depends on the type of cleanse. Traditional juice cleanses typically exclude nut milks to minimize digestive stress, but some modified cleanses include almond juice for added protein and calories.

Is almond milk good when cutting?

Yes, unsweetened almond milk can be a part of your cutting diet. It's low in calories and free of dairy protein, which makes it easier to stay in a calorie deficit and support fat loss.

Green juices are incredibly nutritious and healthy. Here are some benefits you can get if you add more green juices to your life: 

  • Antioxidant galore: Green vegetables like spinach, kale, and celery are chock-full antioxidants, the compounds that fight disease-causing free radicals in our bodies. Particularly, greens contain flavonoids, which are great for longevity and immunity. 

  • Low caloric load: Green veggies, especially leafy greens, are low in calorie density. They provide fewer calories for their weight and volume. This makes them ideal for weight loss. Green juices made from low-calorie vegetables can help you maintain a calorie deficit. You can shed pounds without sacrificing essential nutrients.

  • Digestive benefits: Your gut will thank you for adding more green vegetables. Greens like arugula, dandelion greens, and spinach provide nutrients that act as prebiotics. These prebiotics feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut and help improve overall digestive health.

Are Cold-Press Juicers Good for Leafy Greens?

Yes, cold-press or slow juicers are the best types of juicers for leafy greens because they can extract every last drop of juice from fibrous vegetables. These juicers also prevent oxidation and heating, which typically compromise certain heat-sensitive nutrients. 

The slow, grinding action of the auger in slow juicers puts enough pressure on the ingredients to extract the juice without creating heat. As a result, you end up with more juice and better nutrient retention compared to traditional juicer machines (depending on the juicer, of course). 

Which Leafy Greens Are Best for Juicing?

You can juice a wide variety of leafy greens, either solo or paired with fruits and veggies. Some of the most popular options include:

  • Kale

  • Spinach

  • Swiss chard

  • Romaine lettuce

  • Collard greens

  • Watercress

Tip: Leafy green juices aren’t very tasty on their own. You can try some of our Green Juice Recipes that smartly incorporate leafy greens to make delicious drinks.

7 Best Juicers for Greens Reviewed

Here are some of the best green veggie juicers on the market:

1. Hurom H320 Easy Clean - Best Slow Juicer for Greens

The Hurom H320 Slow Juicer is an excellent choice for juicing greens with its streamlined, modern design and high-quality juice yield. This juicer makes ultra-low pulp juice with a rich taste and color, thanks to the slow-moving auger. That’s why it has won the Good Housekeeping Best Kitchen Gear Award!

What we really appreciate is how well it handles leafy greens and herbs, which usually get tangled in other juicers. It runs on a powerful 150-watt motor but is nearly silent. But here’s our favorite part: you don’t have to spend time chopping your greens into tiny bits.

The generous hopper capacity (2 liters) easily accommodates whole vegetables. And through the chute opening, you can feed in long greens like celery easily, without needing to stop the juicer. Its self-feeding mechanism makes batch juicing a breeze.

Hurom’s Slow Squeeze technology keeps the nutrients intact, so you get all the antioxidant benefits from your leafy greens without losing freshness.

Pros

  • High-quality, nutritious juice

  • No bits of pulp

  • Silent operation

  • Saves prep time

  • 15-year warranty

Con

  • Some scrubbing required

2. Hurom H400 Easy Clean - Best Family-Sized Juicer

The Hurom H400 Easy Clean Slow Juicer is a high-quality juicer, perfect for families with its large self-feeding hopper and juice chamber. It’s just as good with those greens as it is with fruits. In fact, you can combine greens and fruits to try out different green juice recipes with this one. 

Cleanup will become one of your favorite parts. As it’s an Easy Clean juicer, there’s no scrubbing necessary. All it takes is a rinse under running water to clean the auger, strainer, and other washable parts. It usually takes less than a minute to clean up, which is a big plus over traditional centrifugal juicers.

With a chamber capacity of 550 ml, this juicer can make plenty of juice for the family in one go. Like the H320, you can keep feeding ingredients through the chute without pausing. Also, there's no need to cut greens into small pieces. It handles whole ingredients with ease, as long as there are no large seeds.

The Hurom H400 has been awarded the Best Kitchen Product of the Year 2024 by Forbes. 

Pros

  • Quick, easy cleanup process

  • High-quality fresh juice

  • Large hopper and chamber

  • Integrated leftover pulp container prevents mess

  • 15-year warranty

Con

  • A bit large for small counters

3. Kuvings AUTO 8 - Juicer with Large Hopper

The Kuvings AUTO 8 is a large-capacity slow juicer with a durable construction and hands-free operation. It has a generous 2,000 cc hopper that automatically feeds the ingredients in. 

The chamber capacity is 400 ml, which is a bit less than what you get with the Hurom H320 or H400. Still, it’s a suitable choice for families. 

The powerful motor steadily moves the auger at 80 rpm. The juice yield is high, especially when compared with conventional juicers. However, many customers report the juice consistency to be a bit watery, which can also impact the taste. 

In terms of cleaning, it’s relatively quick and easy to clean, but you’ll need to scrub its mesh juice strainer with the provided cleaning brush. Otherwise, there can be a buildup of minerals over time, which will impact the performance. 

Pros

  • Durable construction

  • Can accommodate whole foods

  • Auto feeding

  • Additional attachments for citrus fruits and ice cream

Cons

  • Watery juice consistency 

  • Requires scrubbing

4. Hurom H70 Easy Clean - Most Versatile Green Juicer

The Hurom H70 Easy Clean Slow Juicer is a versatile, powerful juicer. It’s good for families, couples, and even individuals looking to add green juicing to their lives. 

Its design really stands out. Even with a 450 ml chamber, it has a compact footprint and a smaller motor base, much sleeker than the larger H400 and H320 models. You can store it in a cabinet or leave it on the counter without it taking up too much space.

In terms of feed and juice capacity, it’s still a large juicer. You can use it to make larger batches of juice. Also, it’s super easy to clean. Like the H400, it has a two-part auger/strainer combo that doesn’t have a mesh screen. A quick rinse is all it takes to clean the parts.

Like all other Hurom juicers, it’s sturdy. The chamber is made from Ultem and ECOZEN, while the hopper and body are made from ABS. All these materials are food-safe and long-lasting. 

Pros

  • Large juicer with compact build

  • Easy to assemble and clean

  • Little to no prep for greens

  • 15-year warranty

Con

  • Pulp container isn’t integrated


5. Ninja NeverClog Cold-Press Juicer - Best Horizontal Slow Juicer

The Ninja NeverClog Cold-Press Juicer can be a fantastic option if you're looking for a horizontal slow juicer. Unlike vertical juicers, the auger in this juicer is fixed horizontally. That works well with long, slender ingredients like stalks of celery or spinach. 

This horizontal design, while effective, does create the need for some prep work with fruits. That’s because the feed chute opening is small, so you need to cut any fruits like apples or kiwis into smaller pieces if you plan to add them to your green juice. Also, you have to push the ingredients down towards the auger. 

The juice quality is good, and the pulp level can be adjusted with two distinct filter choices. Also, most of the parts are dishwasher-safe, which makes cleaning them a breeze. However, some users report the juicer to be quite noisy. 

Pros

  • Good with greens

  • Easy to clean

  • Value for money

  • Adjustable pulp 

  • Takes less counter space

Cons

  • Requires prep and pushing

  • Noisy operation

6. Nutribullet Slow Juicer - Best Affordable Option

The Nutribullet Slow Masticating Juicer is a budget-friendly slow juicer with a reasonable price. It’s a compact juicer that’s quick to assemble and easy to clean. Some of the parts are dishwasher-safe. 

Its footprint is smaller because of the separate containers for juice and pulp. However, that means the juicer takes up a bit more space when storing everything together.

You won’t get any advanced features on this one, like auto-feeding. You’ll need to use the food pusher to feed in the pieces of produce.

Also, you can’t fit whole foods through the feed tube, so some prep is necessary. Make sure to cut the greens into smaller pieces to ensure they don’t get clogged. 

On the plus side, the motor is nice and quiet. It doesn’t create much noise, which is a pleasant surprise at this price point.

Pros

  • Good value for money

  • Easy to use and clean

  • Quiet operation

Cons

  • Prep required

  • No auto-feeding

7. Breville Juice Fountain Cold Plus - Alternative to Cold-Press Juicers for Greens

Although we would only recommend a cold-press juicer for juicing greens, if you’re looking for a centrifugal juicer specifically, the Breville Juice Fountain Cold Plus is a good option. 

It has a 70-ounce juice capacity (enough for a single glass of juice), thanks to the dedicated juice jug with a handle. 

What sets it apart from other centrifugal juicers is the Cold Spin Technology. It helps reduce heat during juicing, which helps preserve more vitamins and antioxidants than most centrifugal machines. In other words, it’s the closest thing to a slow juicer, but not quite in terms of juice quality and extraction. 

The juicer looks stylish with a brushed stainless steel finish. However, users report it to be quite noisy, which isn’t surprising given that it’s actually a centrifugal model. 

Pros

  • High volume juice jug attachment

  • Two motor speeds

  • Versatile performance

  • Sturdy construction

Cons

  • Noisy

  • Not easy to clean

Tips for Juicing Your Greens

Now that you’ve seen the best juicers for greens, here are some tips that can make green juicing easier and a lot more enjoyable.

  • Start with mild greens: If you’re new to green juicing, start with spinach or romaine lettuce. They're less bitter and easier to drink.

  • Balance strong flavors with fresh fruit: You might like adding apple, orange, pineapple, or pear to balance out the bitterness of kale or dandelion. Just make sure the bulk of your juice still comes from greens, especially if you want it to count as a true green juice.

  • Juice fresh and organic ingredients: The best results when juicing greens come from fresh ingredients. 

  • Rotate your greens: Try different recipes weekly to avoid overconsumption of any one type and to get a wider range of nutrients.

  • Add lemon or ginger: These are awesome add-ins. They add a refreshing zing and come with anti-inflammatory benefits that give your green juice an extra boost.

  • Store in an airtight juice container: Green juices, in particular, go bad quickly. If you’re not drinking immediately, make sure to refrigerate in an airtight container.

  • Clean your juicer immediately: Letting the juicer sit makes cleaning much tougher. A quick rinse right after use saves time and keeps buildup from forming.

FAQs

Can you put greens in a juicer?

Yes, you can put leafy greens in a juicer. Greens like spinach, kale, and parsley can be juiced for their nutrients. However, you’ll get more juice out of them when you use a slow juicer rather than a high-speed centrifugal machine.

Which is better, vertical or horizontal green juicers for juicing greens?

Both horizontal and vertical masticating juicers are good for long leafy greens. Vertical juicers are more compact and faster for mixed produce. They’re also easy to work with. Depending on the model, you may not need to push down ingredients like in a horizontal juicer. They may struggle with soft produce.

How to pick a good juicer?

Consider the ingredients you plan to juice when choosing a juicer. Some juicers may struggle to work with certain ingredients like fibrous vegetables or soft fruits. Look for easy-to-clean models, durable materials, and warranties. 

Can you juice leafy greens without a juicer?

Yes, you can juice leafy greens using a personal blender and a nut milk bag or fine mesh strainer. Blend the greens with a bit of water, then strain the mixture to separate the juice from the pulp. It works, but the juice is usually thinner and less concentrated.

However, if you're serious about green juicing, I recommend using a slow juicer. It extracts more nutrients and gives you a smoother, more flavorful juice with far less effort.

What can be juiced with leafy green vegetables?

Leafy greens pair well with ingredients like green apples, cucumbers, celery, lemon, ginger, and carrots. These balance the flavor, add natural sweetness, and increase nutritional content. You can also add herbs like mint or parsley for an extra health kick.

What type of juicer is best suited for wheatgrass?

A slow or masticating juicer is best for wheatgrass. It efficiently crushes the tough fibers and extracts juice with minimal oxidation. There are also manual wheatgrass juicers with a rotating shaft, but they’re labor-intensive and don’t extract as much juice. Besides, horizontal juicers are most efficient for wheatgrass, versus vertical juicers.

Can You Juice Frozen Fruit? Recipes and Guides

Wondering if you can make juice out of frozen fruit? Absolutely, and in this guide, I’ll show you how. Also, I’ll share how you can use frozen fruits in a juicer to make juice, smoothies, or sorbets. 

Freezing fruits is a great way to avoid food waste. It’s also a smart way to have seasonal fruits all year long. But once frozen, it may not be the same as fresh juice. So, consider juicing your frozen fruits with a Hurom juicer that works well even with frozen ingredients. 

Let’s get started!

Can You Make Juice Out of Frozen Fruit?

Yes, you can make juice out of frozen fruit if it’s thawed. Frozen fruit that’s not thawed properly may be used for making sorbets or smoothies. 

I don't advise you to use thawed frozen fruit for juice because it won't have the best texture. It might be mushy (kind of like a slushie or fruit puree). However, this also depends on your juicer, as some juicers can make sorbet with frozen fruit, often with a dedicated attachment. 

Hurom slow juicers can work with frozen fruit, but the results may be different depending on whether the ingredients are completely frozen or thawed. With frozen fruits, you’d get a sorbet-like consistency, but with thawed fruits, you’ll get juice with some bits of pulp (depending on the model). 

Can You Add Frozen Fruit Right into a Juicer?

I recommend thawing frozen fruits before adding them to a juicer. While some juicers can handle hard, frozen ingredients, others may struggle to press juice from them and could even get clogged.

If your juicer has a setting or accessory for making ice cream or sorbet, then you can add frozen fruit directly without thawing. For example, the Hurom H70 can make sorbet with frozen fruits without any special strainer. 

 

I would suggest reading your juicer's user manual to ensure that it’s safe to add hard, frozen fruits and berries without thawing first. In other words, check if your juicer can make sorbet or ice cream, as that’s when you’d want to add frozen fruit to it. 

Does Freezing Fruits Affect Nutrients and Texture in the Juice?

Freezing fruits may not affect the nutrients, but it can impact the texture, color, and, in some cases, taste, too

Most of the weight of fruits comes from water. Once the fruit is frozen, the water in it expands, which, in turn, tears the soft cellular walls. That’s why frozen fruits get a little mushy once they thaw. Moreover, freezing stops enzyme activity, which is usually the cause behind discoloring, loss of nutrients, and flavor changes. 

In my experience, though, if fruits aren’t packed properly, they can still get exposed to air. That’s when you might notice that dull color or odd, oxidized taste.

To keep the texture, color, and taste as close to fresh as possible, I always make sure to pack fruits in an air-tight container before freezing.

What Are the Best Frozen Fruits for Juices?

Frozen berries, cherries, citrus fruits, mango, and stone fruits like plums and peaches are the best frozen fruits for juices. For smoothies, you can use frozen berries, bananas, apples, mangoes, and pineapples.

If you want to make juice from these frozen fruits, I suggest thawing them first. However, for smoothies, you don’t need to thaw the fruits. Just chuck them into a blender and blend until smooth

Which Fruits Shouldn’t Be Frozen for Juicing?

Fresh fruits with very high water content, like watermelons, cantaloupes, and cucumbers, should not be frozen. These fruits can get mushy once thawed and not have the same texture or taste as they do when fresh. 

The same can be said for citrus fruits. For instance, oranges and grapefruits can be difficult to peel once thawed after freezing. It’s best to peel them first and separate the slices before freezing them in an airtight bag or container. The thawed slices can be used for juicing. 

Frozen Fruit Juice Recipes (Sorbets & Smoothies)

You can use frozen fruits for any juice recipe once they’re completely thawed. However, if you want to use frozen fruits without thawing, you can make smoothies and sorbets.

Some easy and incredibly delicious recipes to try: 

1. Berry Blast Smoothie (Most Loved Frozen Fruit Smoothie Recipe)

This frozen fruit smoothie is made from mixed berries and is a favorite for kids and adults alike.

4. Cherry Delight Sorbet

Cherries are heart-healthy and packed with bundles of nutrients, including vitamin C, potassium, and copper. Its anti-inflammatory properties may help speed up recovery after those tough workouts. 

Since fresh cherries are seasonal in many places, I like to freeze them and make sorbet so I can enjoy them year-round. To balance their natural tartness, I usually add frozen strawberries, they bring a bit of sweetness and an extra antioxidant boost.

Ingredients:

  • Frozen cherries, 1½ cups

FAQs

Can I use frozen fruit for juicing?

Can frozen fruit be blended?

Yes, frozen fruit can be blended in a blender to make smoothies and shakes. Ensure that your blender is powerful enough to handle hard, frozen fruits and berries. A smoothie blender is usually the best choice for blending frozen fruit. 

Does frozen fruit need to be defrosted?

Yes, frozen fruits must be defrosted before juicing. However, for smoothies, sorbets, shakes, and ice creams, you don’t need to thaw fruits first. 

Can you juice frozen mangoes?

Yes, you can juice frozen mangoes once they’re thawed. Freeze peeled slices of mango and defrost them before adding to a juicer. 

Can all juicers juice frozen fruits?

Most juicers, including centrifugal and slow juicers, can juice frozen fruits once they’re fully thawed. Some juicers, like the Hurom H400, can make sorbet from fully frozen fruits. 

Juicers are primarily designed to juice fresh ingredients. Check if your juicer model can take frozen fruits and veggies as well. 

What can I make with frozen fruits?

You can make smoothies, sorbets, ice creams, and shakes with frozen fruits. You’ll need a quality juicer or blender, depending on what you're making. 

Does frozen fruit juice go bad?

Juices made from thawed frozen fruit can go bad if not refrigerated and stored properly. If you don’t consume the juice within a couple of hours, make sure to store it in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Fresh juice can typically last up to 72 hours if stored correctly. 

Can freezing fruits before juicing increase yield?

Freezing and thawing fruits may result in a better yield for some fruits, particularly those with a hard cellular structure and tougher skins. One study published in Foods saw an increased yield of juice after a freeze-thaw cycle of fruits. 

Keep in mind that some fruits, like berries or citrus fruits, may lose some juice in the process of thawing. 

How to defrost frozen fruit?

You can defrost frozen fruit in the refrigerator or at room temperature. However, a quicker way to defrost is to run cold water over the frozen fruits. You can also defrost them in the microwave by selecting the defrost setting and running it for 1-2 minutes.

7 Recetas De Jugo Para La Piel Que Cambiarán Tu Vida

No hace falta complicarse para empezar a cuidar tu piel desde adentro. A veces, un hábito tan simple como incluir un jugo para la piel en tu rutina diaria puede marcar una gran diferencia. Las combinaciones correctas de frutas y verduras no solo son sabrosas, también aportan los nutrientes que tu piel necesita para verse bien.

Los jugos naturales son una forma accesible y efectiva de sumar antioxidantes, vitaminas y agua en tu día a día. Ya sea que prefieras lo básico o tengas una rutina de skincare completa, estas recetas pueden complementar tu estilo de vida saludable sin esfuerzo.

En este artículo encontrarás ideas prácticas para preparar jugos que cuidan tu piel desde adentro, de forma sencilla y realista. Comencemos.

Cuidando tu piel desde adentro: Por qué los jugos son una opción poderosa

La piel necesita mucho más que una buena rutina externa. Lo que comes y bebes cada día tiene un impacto directo en cómo se ve y cómo responde a factores como el clima, el estrés o la exposición solar. En ese contexto, sumar un jugo para la piel puede convertirse en un gesto sencillo, pero lleno de beneficios.

Los jugos naturales concentran nutrientes que el cuerpo puede asimilar fácilmente. Y si bien no reemplazan una alimentación equilibrada ni otros cuidados importantes, sí pueden ayudarte a potenciar lo que ya haces por tu piel.

Tu piel refleja lo que consumes

Lo que tomas y comes a diario se refleja en tu rostro, textura y tono de piel. Una dieta rica en alimentos frescos, variados y naturales aporta las vitaminas y antioxidantes necesarios para una piel sana, más uniforme, hidratada y resistente.

Cuando hay déficit de ciertos nutrientes, la piel puede lucir apagada, deshidratada o más propensa a imperfecciones. Por eso, incluir frutas y verduras de forma constante (no solo ocasional) es parte clave de un buen cuidado.

Los jugos permiten incorporar variedad de ingredientes en un solo vaso, incluso aquellos que tal vez no consumirías por separado. Esa versatilidad los convierte en aliados útiles para quienes buscan cuidar su piel desde adentro sin complicarse.

Los jugos como parte de tu rutina de belleza

Sumar un jugo para la piel no significa cambiar toda tu alimentación ni tener una rutina de belleza extensa. Basta con incorporar uno o dos vasos al día, según tu necesidad y estilo de vida, para empezar a notar cambios.

Estas bebidas pueden ayudarte a obtener nutrientes clave como vitamina C, A y E, además de minerales y enzimas que favorecen la regeneración celular. Todo eso, en una forma fácil de preparar, de digerir y de disfrutar.

Beneficios del jugo natural para tu piel

Un buen jugo puede ofrecer mucho más que sabor. He aquí algunas razones de por qué incluirlos en tu rutina puede ayudarte a lograr una piel sana, hidratada y luminosa:

  • Nutrientes que se absorben más fácil: Al no tener fibra insoluble, los jugos permiten que vitaminas y minerales pasen rápidamente al cuerpo. Es una forma eficiente de nutrirte, sobre todo si estás en movimiento.

  • Vitaminas que tu piel necesita: Los jugos saludables pueden concentrar antioxidantes clave como la vitamina C (colágeno y luminosidad), la A (regeneración celular) y la E (protección contra el daño celular). También aportan zinc y otros minerales que ayudan a mantener el equilibrio cutáneo.

  • Hidratación interna: Muchos jugos naturales están hechos con frutas y verduras ricas en agua. Esto no solo mejora la elasticidad de la piel, también ayuda al cuerpo a eliminar toxinas, lo que se nota en un cutis más limpio y fresco.

Ingredientes esenciales para preparar jugos que cuidan tu piel

Los ingredientes son la base de cualquier buen jugo para la piel. Elegir los adecuados puede marcar una gran diferencia en cómo se ve y se siente tu cutis. 

He aquí los más importantes a la hora de sumar jugos a tu rutina de belleza:

Frutas y verduras ricas en antioxidantes

Los frutos rojos como las fresas, frambuesas y moras son alimentos ricos en antioxidantes que ayudan a combatir lo radicales libres. A ellos se suman ingredientes como la espinaca y la remolacha, que también aportan pigmentos naturales con efectos protectores para la piel.

El mango y el tomate completan este grupo, ayudando a mantener el tono de la piel y protegerla del daño celular.

Alimentos hidratantes y con alto aporte en agua

Pepino, apio, sandía, melón, naranja y manzana verde son ideales para mantener la piel hidratada desde adentro. 

En este grupo, el apio verde merece mención especial. Este destaca por su efecto depurativo y su aporte de minerales, ayudando a limpiar el organismo y, como consecuencia, mejorar la calidad de la piel.

Ingredientes con vitaminas clave para la piel

La zanahoria es una excelente fuente de vitamina A que favorece la renovación celular. Kiwi y cítricos aportan una buena carga de vitamina C, clave para el colágeno. Espinaca y aguacate suman un aporte de vitamina E, que protege la piel del estrés oxidativo

El jengibre fresco, por su parte, es un antiinflamatorio natural que también estimula la circulación, mejorando el aspecto de la piel.

Consejos para aprovechar al máximo los jugos para la piel

Un jugo para la piel puede ayudarte mucho, pero los resultados no llegan de un día para otro. Para que realmente sumen a tu rutina, es importante tener en cuenta algunos detalles. Estos consejos te van a servir para sacarle el mayor provecho a cada vaso.

Incorpóralos como parte de una rutina saludable, no como solución mágica

Tomar jugos es un buen paso, pero no lo es todo. El cuidado de la piel también depende de una alimentación balanceada, un buen descanso, hidratación constante y protegerte del sol con un buen protector solar.

Los jugos naturales pueden complementar tu alimentación, pero no reemplazan hábitos esenciales. Lo ideal es verlos como un refuerzo diario, no como un remedio inmediato.

¿Cuándo es mejor tomar jugos para cuidar tu piel?

No hay una única regla, pero algunos momentos del día pueden hacerlos más efectivos. Muchas personas prefieren tomarlos en ayunas, ya que el cuerpo absorbe los nutrientes con más facilidad. También funcionan bien entre comidas, como snack ligero.

Lo importante es que encuentres un horario que puedas mantener con constancia, según tu ritmo y tus necesidades.

Sé constante: los resultados visibles toman tiempo

Si bien algunas personas notan cambios en pocas semanas, lo habitual es que los efectos se acumulen con el tiempo. 

Lo que sí es clave es la regularidad. Un jugo de vez en cuando no va a hacer gran diferencia. Pero si lo incluyes en tu día a día, sí vas a empezar a notar una piel más uniforme, hidratada y con mejor tono.

Más allá del vaso: ingredientes que suman a tu rutina de cuidado

Además de los jugos, hay alimentos y bebidas que pueden ayudarte a cuidar tu piel desde adentro. Aquí tienes una lista útil para tener en cuenta en tu dieta diaria:

  • Aguacate

  • Frutos secos (como almendras con piel o nueces)

  • Semillas (chía, linaza, sésamo)

  • Pescados grasos (como el salmón)

  • Agua mineral

  • Agua de coco

  • Té verde o infusiones suaves

  • Aceite de oliva extra virgen

  • Yogur griego o yogur natural

  • Leche de coco

Incluir estos alimentos de forma regular puede marcar una diferencia real en la textura, firmeza e hidratación de tu piel.

Extractor de jugos para la piel: qué buscar y por qué importa

Cuando se trata de preparar un buen jugo para cuidar tu piel, el extractor que uses hace la diferencia. No todos los aparatos funcionan igual, y algunos pueden afectar la calidad del jugo que consumes.

Un extractor lento es la mejor opción si lo que buscas es conservar los nutrientes, enzimas y el sabor natural de frutas y verduras. A diferencia de las licuadoras o exprimidores centrífugos, estos equipos trabajan a baja velocidad y sin generar calor. Esto ayuda a mantener intactas las propiedades nutricionales de cada ingrediente.

Si vas a incluir jugos en tu rutina de cuidado, vale la pena prestar atención al tipo de extractor que usas. No se trata solo de comodidad, sino de resultados.

Características esenciales de un buen extractor

A la hora de elegir un extractor, hay ciertos detalles que marcan la diferencia en la calidad del jugo que vas a preparar. 

Estos son algunos puntos clave a considerar:

  • Extracción lenta y en frío: Conserva vitaminas y enzimas sensibles al calor, esenciales para la salud de la piel.

  • Baja oxidación: Ayuda a que el jugo se mantenga fresco por más tiempo, sin que se separe ni pierda su color natural.

  • Capacidad para extraer jugo de ingredientes fibrosos y hojas verdes: Ideal si vas a usar espinaca, ramas de apio, menta, perejil o un toque de jengibre fresco en tus recetas.

  • Textura suave, sin espuma excesiva ni separación: Esto hace que el jugo sea más agradable de tomar y más estable a lo largo del día.

  • Fácil de limpiar y mantener: Si el extractor es complicado de lavar, probablemente lo uses menos. Buscar modelos que faciliten la limpieza te ahorra tiempo.

  • Diseño silencioso y compacto: Perfecto si lo usas en la mañana y no quieres molestar a nadie, o si tienes poco espacio en tu cocina.

  • Versatilidad para preparar distintos tipos de bebidas: Un buen extractor no solo debe hacer jugos. Lo ideal es que también puedas hacer leches vegetales, smoothies y otras preparaciones que pueden complementar tu rutina de bienestar.

Todas estas características puedes encontrarlas en los extractores Hurom. Son fáciles de usar, permiten aprovechar al máximo cada ingrediente y pueden ayudarte a convertir el cuidado interno de tu piel en un hábito constante.

Cuidar tu piel también es elegir bien lo que tomas

El cuidado de la piel no se limita a lo que aplicas por fuera. Lo que eliges beber y comer cada día también influye en cómo se ve y se siente tu piel. Incluir jugos para la piel como parte de tu rutina puede ayudarte a sumar hidratación, vitaminas y antioxidantes de forma simple y natural.

Estas recetas son solo el comienzo. Lo importante es mantener el hábito, escuchar lo que tu cuerpo necesita y hacer ajustes que se adapten a tu estilo de vida. Desde una alimentación más variada hasta una rutina de descanso más constante, todo suma.

Y si estás buscando una forma práctica de empezar, contar con un buen extractor de jugos puede marcar la diferencia. Hurom te acompaña en ese camino, ayudándote a preparar jugos reales, nutritivos y llenos de beneficios, desde el primer vaso.

Preguntas frecuentes sobre jugos para la piel

Si estás pensando en incluir jugos naturales en tu rutina de cuidado, es normal que tengas dudas. Acá respondemos algunas de las más comunes:

¿Hacer jugos ayuda a la piel?

Sí, siempre que los prepares con ingredientes frescos y variados. Los jugos pueden aportar vitaminas, minerales y antioxidantes que favorecen la salud de la piel desde adentro. También ayudan a mantener la hidratación y apoyar procesos de desintoxicación.

¿Qué jugo es el mejor para rejuvenecer el rostro?

No hay uno solo, pero los jugos ricos en vitamina C, como los que llevan kiwi, naranja, pimiento rojo o granada, son una excelente opción. Esta vitamina estimula la producción de colágeno y ayuda a mantener la piel firme y luminosa.

¿Cuál es el mejor jugo para el envejecimiento de la piel?

Aquellos que combinan antioxidantes con ingredientes antiinflamatorios. Por ejemplo: jugo de zanahoria con cúrcuma, o el jugo rubí de granada con tomate cherry que mencionamos antes.  Jugos como esos ayudan a proteger la piel del daño oxidativo y del envejecimiento prematuro.

¿Qué beber para tener una piel hidratada?

Además de agua, puedes tomar jugos con ingredientes con alto contenido en agua, como pepino, sandía, naranja, apio y melón. También funcionan bien los que incluyen agua de coco, por su aporte de electrolitos naturales.

¿Cuánto tiempo se tarda en notar mejoras en la piel al tomar jugos?

Depende de cada persona y del resto de tu estilo de vida. Si mantienes una alimentación equilibrada y tomas jugos de forma regular, podrías notar cambios en la textura o luminosidad de la piel en unas pocas semanas.

¿Cuál es la mejor bebida matutina para tener una piel radiante?

Un jugo verde con ingredientes como espinaca, manzana, apio y limón es una gran opción. También los jugos con frutas ricas en vitamina C funcionan muy bien para arrancar el día cuidando tu piel.

¿Cuál es la mejor vitamina para rejuvenecer la piel?

La vitamina C es una de las más importantes. Estimula el colágeno, unifica el tono de la piel y combate el daño de los radicales libres. También son clave la vitamina A y la E, que ayudan a renovar y proteger la piel.

¿Cuál es la fruta número 1 para tener una piel radiante?

No hay una única fruta, pero muchas personas destacan el kiwi por su alto contenido de vitamina C y antioxidantes. Las fresas, la naranja y la granada también son excelentes opciones para lograr una piel más luminosa.

15 Best Green Juice Recipes You Need to Try

Looking to boost your energy, support your digestion, or jumpstart a healthier lifestyle? Green juices are a delicious and refreshing way to get those essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. And you get them all in one glass. 

You’d be surprised by just how diverse and creative green juices can be. All you need is a quality juicer, fresh ingredients, and a mindset to tap the countless health benefits of green vegetables and fruits. 

We’ll list 15 green juice recipes, some using non-conventional ingredients. But first, let’s go over some of the benefits of green juices.

Why Drink Green Juice?

Green juices offer numerous health benefits, thanks to the nutrient-rich profile of the ingredients, especially the vegetables. That’s why they’re super popular with fitness and health enthusiasts everywhere. 

Here are some solid reasons why you should consider adding more green juices to your diet: 

  • Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants: Green vegetables and fruits are chock-full of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants like flavonoids and polyphenols. These nutrients offer numerous benefits, including improved immunity, vision, skin, and heart health. 

  • May aid in weight loss: Most green juices, particularly those with a higher vegetable content, are low-calorie, making them an ideal choice for weight loss diets. Green juices or their ingredients don’t cause weight loss, but if used the right way, they can help you stay in a calorie deficit and lose weight. 

  • Good for digestive health: The vegetables and fruits in green juices have a prebiotic effect, meaning they provide fiber that the gut bacteria need to support optimal digestion. If you use a masticating juicer or blender, you can preserve enough fiber from the greens to tap that prebiotic benefit. 

  • pH balance: Leafy greens have an alkalizing effect. Drinking green juices rich in mineral-rich vegetables helps balance your body’s pH. 


What Are the Best Ingredients for Green Juice?

Green juices are typically more vegetable-dominant, so the best ingredients are usually leafy greens and other green-colored vegetables. 

To make your green juice both healthy and tasty, use the right combination of ingredients. For instance, leafy greens provide chlorophyll and essential minerals, while ingredients like cucumber and celery add hydration and a refreshing base. Apples or citrus fruits can add sweetness without overpowering the drink. 

Here are the top ingredients in green juices: 

  • Kale: Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, calcium, and antioxidants like lutein.

  • Spinach: High in iron, magnesium, folate, and vitamin K.

  • Cucumber: High water content and rich in vitamin K.

  • Celery: High in vitamin K, potassium, and antioxidants like apigenin.

  • Green apple: High in fiber, vitamin C, and polyphenols.

  • Parsley: Loaded with vitamin C, vitamin K, and flavonoids.

  • Romaine lettuce: Low calorie and provides vitamin A and folate.

Tips for Green Juicing

Here are some pro tips to take your green juices to the next level:

  • Remember the 80/20 rule of green juicing: Your green juice should ideally be 80% vegetable juices and 20% fruit juices. The primary goal of green juicing is to incorporate more vegetables and herbs. 

  • Drink fresh or store the right way: Green juices don’t last very long at room temperature, so drink them within two hours of pressing. Otherwise, store them properly in an airtight container in the refrigerator. 

  • Drink when it’s optimal for you: You can drink green juice any time during the day. However, you can optimize the results by drinking according to your needs. For energy, drink it in the morning or before a workout. When intermittent fasting, drink it at the end of your feeding window. 

  • Batch green juice if pressed for time: If you have a busy lifestyle, try juicing your greens in batches. Batch juicing saves time and ensures you have ample juice for the entire week. Check out our tips for batch juicing

  • Use a slow juicer: For optimal nutrient extraction, go for a slow juicer. It doesn’t damage the nutrient integrity, so you get all those antioxidants and vitamins.

FAQs

Is it ok to drink green juice every day?

Yes, it's generally okay to drink green juice daily as long as it's part of a balanced diet. Green juice provides a quick boost of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support overall health. However, avoid relying solely on green juices, as whole vegetables and fruits are also important. 

Does green juice help you lose weight?

Green juice can support weight loss by providing nutrients with few calories, especially when used as a replacement for high-calorie snacks or sugary drinks. Don’t expect green juice to cause weight loss; it can only help you consume fewer calories in a day while staying full and reaping the health benefits. 

What not to put in a green juice?

Avoid high-sugar fruits like bananas or mangoes, as they can spike your blood sugar. Skip processed ingredients, dairy, or sweeteners. Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower can cause bloating when consumed raw. 

How do I start green juicing?

Start with simple recipes using a base like cucumber or celery, then add leafy greens and a touch of apple or lemon for flavor. Begin with 1-2 juices per week to allow your body to adjust, and use a slow juicer (such as Hurom) to retain more nutrients. 

Always wash your produce thoroughly. Rotate your greens to avoid excessive intake of any single compound. 

How many calories are in green juices?

Calories in green juice vary depending on ingredients, but most 8–12 oz servings contain 60–120 calories.

Who shouldn’t drink green juice?

Individuals with kidney issues or those taking blood thinners should limit their consumption of green juice due to its high potassium and vitamin K content, which is found in leafy greens. 

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before adding juicing routines, especially if raw ingredients are involved.

Anti-inflammatory recipes and a balanced diet become critical because when we use foods rich in nutrients and anti-inflammatory compounds, we tend to feel better. 

These natural compounds, found in fruits, vegetables, and some spices and nuts, can help to counteract the processes that lead to chronic inflammation.

The Basics of an Anti-Inflammation Diet

It’s simple: to feel better, you must start eating natural, healthy foods and avoid the ones that irritate your gut! Here, we break them all down! 

Foods That Cause Inflammation: What to Avoid

  • Processed foods: One of the primary drivers of inflammation is processed foods. These usually contain unhealthy additives, trans fats, refined carbohydrates, and excessive sodium. All these ingredients disrupt the delicate balance of your gut microbiome and trigger inflammation.

  • Sugary drinks: Store-bought drinks are usually high in refined sugars and lack any nutritional value. For example, energy drinks can lead to rapid spikes in blood sugar, promoting the release of inflammatory markers. 

  • Fry foods: Certain types of unhealthy fats, particularly trans fats found in some fried foods and commercially baked goods, have been strongly linked to increased inflammation and negative impacts on heart health. 

You don’t necessarily need to totally eliminate these foods from your diet. You can, however, be mindful of these potentially inflammatory foods and consciously reduce the amount you eat to get onto a healthier path.

Anti-Inflammatory Foods: What to Eat 

Now, let’s talk about the good stuff! These foods are packed with active ingredients and anti-inflammatory compounds that promote overall wellness without any bloating.

  • Berries and colorful fruits: Think of vibrant fruits like berries; these are rich in antioxidants called anthocyanins, which have potent anti-inflammatory properties. 

  • Leafy green vegetables: These greens are brimming with vitamins, minerals, and beneficial phytonutrients that quell inflammation. 

  • Fatty fish: Salmon, mackerel, and sardines are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids, well-known for their powerful anti-inflammatory effects.

  • Spices: Turmeric, with its active compound curcumin, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves are all potent anti-inflammatory agents that can easily be incorporated into your diet.

  • Healthy fats: Fats from sources like avocados, olive oil, and nuts also play a crucial role in reducing inflammation.

We know that coming up with new recipes every day that include these products might sound challenging, but it is totally worth it! And we’ll help you out in a second.

But first, let’s review this:

The Benefits of Adding Juicing To Your Diet to Relieve Inflammation

Juicing helps fight inflammation because it delivers nutrients fast. Since juice doesn’t need much digestion, your body can absorb the anti-inflammatory vitamins and minerals more quickly. This gives you faster relief and better results.

Plus, juicing is a quick solution to integrate all the healthy ingredients above into your diet.

Making anti-inflammatory juices takes less than 5 minutes. It's the easiest pick-me-up and the fastest way to get these nutrients to start your day on the right foot. 

Pro tip: Getting a quality juicer will make it so much easier to integrate these foods into your diet in a seamless way.

  • Lemons and Limes

  • Oranges and Grapefruit

  • Cucumbers

There you have it! With this combo at hand, you can experiment and create your most effective anti-inflammatory recipe. 

The Most Effective Way to Make Homemade Anti-Inflammatory Juice 

Yes, these juices are great for reducing inflammation, but we understand that making them daily can take time (especially if you have a low-quality juicer). Store-bought options can feel more convenient, but nothing beats the freshness of homemade juice.

The key is finding a rhythm that fits into your routine, so getting those clean, anti-inflammatory ingredients becomes effortless and sustainable.

With a bit of planning and the right tools, like a cold press juicer, it’s easy to turn this into a simple, everyday habit that supports your long-term health.

That brings us to this next point:

Cold Press: The Better Way 

The type of machine you use significantly impacts the quality of your juices. That’s why cold-press juicers, like those offered by Hurom, are a far better option.

Traditional centrifugal juicers utilize high-speed spinning blades that generate heat and introduce oxygen into the juicing process. This heat and oxidation can degrade your vitamins, enzymes, and the antioxidant properties that are crucial for the body and gut. 

Cold-press juicers, on the other hand, use a gentle crushing and pressing action to extract the juice from all your fruits and veggies. This method minimizes heat generation to almost nothing and reduces oxidation. That means a higher percentage of your clean ingredients gets into your system.

Hurom takes cold-pressing further with its patented Slow Squeeze Technology that mimics hand-squeezing. 

That’s how Hurom Juicers maximize the nutritional and anti-inflammatory benefits you receive from each serving. 

Investing in a Hurom juicer is a simple way to support your long-term health — helping you get more out of every ingredient and stay on track with your anti-inflammatory goals.

Maximize Your Anti-Inflammatory Juice’s Benefits

You already have a Hurom? Then, to truly reach the highest level of anti-inflammatory benefits from your juices, integrate our secret tips and tricks. 

  • Listen to your body: Every body is its own world. Pay attention to how your body feels after consuming different juice combinations. If certain ingredients seem to cause digestive discomfort or relieve inflammation more than others, adjust your recipes accordingly. Some nutritionists recommend keeping track of each juice and how it makes you feel 30 minutes, an hour, and 4 hours after drinking it. 

  • Combine with a balanced diet: While anti-inflammatory juices are a powerful tool, they are most effective when you take a holistic approach to health. This includes consuming a well-rounded diet with plenty of fiber, protein, and healthy fats.

  • Be mindful of colors: Each vibrant color of fruits and vegetables indicates the specific antioxidant properties and phytonutrients they have. For example, green foods have strong anti-inflammatory compounds with cancer-preventing properties. Blue foods fight inflammation that causes premature aging. Orange and yellow fruits and vegetables are rich in carotenoids, which also have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.

FAQ

What juices are good for inflammation?

The best juices for inflammation are those made with antioxidant fruits and vegetables, like spinach and kale juice, berries juice,  pineapple juice, celery with beets, and citrus juice.   

What is the best anti-inflammatory drink?

While there isn't one single "best" anti-inflammatory drink, juices that are made with turmeric, ginger, pineapple, and leafy greens are often the most effective when it comes to relieving inflammation.

What is the strongest anti-inflammatory fruit?

Berries and other particularly dark-colored fruits like prunes have the strongest concentration of antioxidant compounds, which relieves inflammation. We highly recommend incorporating a variety of colorful fruits into your juices; it is a great way to maximize these benefits.   

What is the strongest natural anti-inflammatory?

Turmeric, with its active ingredient curcumin, and ginger, with gingerol, are often ranked among the strongest natural anti-inflammatories that nature provides. You can usually find them in powder form in any supermarket or in fresh root form in wellness and specialized grocery stores.  

What not to drink for inflammation?

Avoid highly sugary drinks such as soda, sweetened store-bought juices, and sugary coffee or teas, as well as alcohol mixes.  Opting for clean ingredients in your homemade juices and staying hydrated with water are much better choices.   

Does a juice fast reduce inflammation?

While a short-term juice fast might temporarily reduce some inflammation due to cutting any dietary triggers, it's not a sustainable or necessarily healthy long-term solution for managing chronic inflammation.  Always consult with a healthcare professional before undertaking any dietary changes like a juice fast.

Is cherry juice good for inflammation?

Yes, especially tart cherry juice. Cherries are rich in anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants with anti-inflammatory benefits. They are particularly good for muscle inflammation. We recommend eating them after heavy exercise or to alleviate symptoms of arthritis and other symptoms of inflammation.H

7 Jugos Para Desinflamar El Cuerpo Cada Mañana

Sentirse hinchado o con el estómago pesado no es raro. Puede pasar por lo que comes, por el estrés o por cómo duermes. A veces, esa sensación de inflamación viene acompañada de digestión lenta, gases o malestar general. 

Incluir un jugo para desinflamar el cuerpo en tu rutina diaria puede ayudarte a reducir estos síntomas desde temprano, de forma natural y sin complicaciones. No necesitas hacer cambios drásticos; solo necesitas buenos ingredientes de origen natural, constancia y una forma efectiva de prepararlos. 

En este artículo reunimos las mejores recetas y consejos que te pueden acompañar en ese proceso. Vamos a verlos.

¿Por qué el cuerpo se inflama?

La inflamación es una respuesta natural del cuerpo. Cuando hay una lesión, una infección o incluso una mala alimentación, el sistema inmunológico activa mecanismos para protegerte. Eso provoca enrojecimiento, calor, hinchazón o dolor.

Existen dos tipos de inflamación: aguda y crónica. La inflamación aguda es temporal y parte de una reacción normal del cuerpo. Mientras, la inflamación crónica se mantiene en el tiempo y puede afectar la digestión, el equilibrio hormonal y la circulación.

Una respuesta inflamatoria prolongada puede causar molestias constantes. Digestión lenta, acumulación de líquidos y sensación de pesadez son solo algunos ejemplos. Por eso, incluir un jugo para desinflamar en tu rutina matutina puede marcar una diferencia.

Causas principales de la inflamación y la hinchazón

La inflamación puede tener distintas causas, y muchas de ellas están ligadas a lo que haces o comes cada día. Estas son las más comunes:

  • Alimentación: Exceso de sal, azúcar, alimentos inflamatorios y ultraprocesados.

  • Estrés: Eleva el cortisol, afecta el sistema digestivo.

  • Retención de líquidos: Poca hidratación, sedentarismo, desequilibrio hormonal.

  • Cambios hormonales: Ciclo menstrual, embarazo, menopausia.

Cómo los jugos naturales pueden ayudar a reducir estos efectos

Los jugos naturales tienen más beneficios de los que solemos pensar. No solo hidratan, también aportan compuestos activos que ayudan a bajar la inflamación desde adentro. 

Al usar frutas, verduras verdes y raíces con propiedades antiinflamatorias y alto contenido de agua, el cuerpo recibe una combinación de nutrientes que apoya su funcionamiento sin exigirle demasiado esfuerzo digestivo. 


Estos jugos, además, son fáciles de asimilar, alivian la sensación de pesadez y promueven una digestión más fluida. Algunos ingredientes, como la piña, el apio o el pepino, también ayudan a eliminar toxinas y líquidos acumulados. 

Esto no solo mejora cómo te sientes, también puede reflejarse en tu piel, tu energía y tu estado de ánimo.

Los mejores ingredientes para un jugo para desinflamar el cuerpo

Un buen jugo desinflamatorio no se construye con cualquier ingrediente. Lo que pongas en el extractor tiene un impacto directo en cómo te sientes después de beberlo. 

Por eso, vale la pena elegir frutas, raíces y vegetales que no solo sumen sabor. También es importante que tengan propiedades para reducir la inflamación, aliviar la digestión o eliminar líquidos retenidos.

Estos son algunos de los ingredientes más recomendados:

  • Cúrcuma: Esta raíz de color intenso es un clásico antiinflamatorio. Su compuesto activo, la curcumina, ayuda a reducir la inflamación interna. Solo necesitas un poco, mejor si la combinas con pimienta negra para mejorar su absorción.

  • Piña: Aporta dulzor natural y contiene bromelina, una enzima que favorece la digestión y puede aliviar la hinchazón. También ayuda a eliminar líquidos de forma suave.

  • Apio: Rico en agua y potasio, ayuda a depurar el cuerpo y combatir la retención de líquidos. Su sabor suave funciona como base ideal en jugos verdes o dulces.

  • Pepino: Ligero, hidratante y refrescante. Su alto contenido de agua ayuda a eliminar toxinas y a reducir la hinchazón, sobre todo en días calurosos o tras una comida pesada.

  • Limón: Alcalinizante y rico en vitamina C. Estimula la producción de bilis y mejora la salud digestiva, además de equilibrar sabores intensos en los jugos.

  • Jengibre: Activa la circulación y calma el sistema digestivo. Con solo un trozo pequeño, ayuda a reducir gases, náuseas e inflamación.

  • Perejil: El perejil fresco es una excelente fuente de clorofila, con efecto diurético y propiedades digestivas. Ayuda a eliminar líquidos retenidos y se combina muy bien con el pepino, el limón e incluso un toque de apio en jugos verdes.

  • Papaya: Suave con el estómago y rica en enzimas digestivas. Es ideal si tienes digestión lenta, ya que ayuda a descomponer los alimentos con facilidad. Aporta textura y dulzor natural, sin necesidad de edulcorantes.

  • Menta: Refrescante y calmante. Ayuda a relajar los músculos del sistema gastrointestinal y puede aliviar molestias como gases o digestión pesada.

  • Hinojo: Con sabor anisado y efecto digestivo. Ayuda a reducir gases y a aliviar la hinchazón abdominal, sobre todo incorporándolo en un jugo de pepino y limón.

¿Cómo disfrutar jugos desinflamatorios de calidad? Comparando opciones

Preparar un jugo para desinflamar el cuerpo en casa es una excelente decisión, pero también importa el método que uses para hacerlo. La forma en que extraes el jugo influye directamente en su calidad, su sabor y la cantidad de nutrientes que tu cuerpo puede aprovechar. 

Estas son las principales diferencias entre las opciones más comunes:

Jugos embotellados vs. jugos frescos

Las bebidas de frutas embotelladas suelen parecer prácticas, pero tienen algunas desventajas importantes. Por lo general, pasan por procesos industriales que prolongan su vida útil, tal como la pasteurización

El problema es que eso también destruye parte de los nutrientes, enzimas y antioxidantes naturales. Además, muchos contienen azúcares añadidos, conservantes o saborizantes que reducen su valor nutricional.

Los jugos frescos, en cambio, mantienen intactas sus propiedades. Si los preparas con ingredientes naturales y los consumes al momento, estarás dándole a tu cuerpo una bebida que realmente ayuda a combatir la inflamación y mejorar la digestión.

Jugos en extractor centrífugo

Los extractores centrífugos o convencionales funcionan procesando los ingredientes a velocidad muy alta. Son rápidos, pero generan calor, y ese calor puede oxidar el jugo y reducir su calidad. Además, tienden a crear espuma, separar el líquido en capas y desperdiciar parte del jugo en el proceso.

Si estás buscando un jugo antiinflamatorio de calidad, este tipo de extractor puede no ser la mejor opción. En especial si usas ingredientes delicados como hojas verdes, jengibre o cúrcuma.

Jugos en extractor lento

Un extractor lento extrae el jugo de forma más cuidadosa, prensando los ingredientes a velocidad baja sin calor ni fricción. Este método conserva mejor las enzimas, los antioxidantes y los compuestos bioactivos de los ingredientes. Además, permite obtener una textura más uniforme y un sabor más natural.

Con este tipo de extractor obtienes una bebida sin grumos, que dura más tiempo en buen estado y mantiene un alto valor nutricional. Es la opción más recomendable si quieres preparar jugos que realmente ayuden a reducir la inflamación desde adentro.

¿Por qué Hurom es tu mejor opción para preparar jugos desinflamatorios?

Por eso, Hurom ofrece extractores pensados para cuidar lo que pones en tu cuerpo.  Desde 1974, ha perfeccionado su tecnología para conservar mejor los nutrientes, evitar la oxidación y mantener el sabor real de frutas y verduras.

¿Qué distingue a los extractores Hurom?

Lo que hace especial a Hurom es que está pensado para ayudarte a preparar jugos de forma más fácil, sin perder lo que de verdad importa: sabor y nutrientes.

  • Más rendimiento, menos desperdicio: Exprime al máximo cada fruta o vegetal.

Esto permite:

  • Conservar enzimas activas que ayudan a mejorar el proceso digestivo.

  • Mantener los antioxidantes y compuestos antiinflamatorios que se pierden fácilmente con calor o exposición al aire.

  • Evitar la separación del jugo, logrando una mezcla más homogénea y fácil de digerir.

  • Ofrecer una bebida sin grumos, de textura más suave y natural.

  • Aprovechar ingredientes clave como jengibre, cúrcuma o piña, sin que pierdan su efecto.

Hurom H400: la mejor opción para preparar jugos desinflamatorios en casa

Hacer jugos desinflamatorios de calidad también depende del extractor. Y cuando se trata de jugos, el Hurom H400 tiene todo lo que necesitas.

Su sistema de autoalimentación deja trabajar al extractor solo, sin que tengas que estar pendiente. Su tolva es amplia, así que no tienes que estar recargando a cada rato ni picar ingredientes en trozos pequeños.

Además, es muy fácil de limpiar. Gracias a su tecnología Easy Clean, no tiene filtros ni piezas complicadas: solo lo enjuagas y está listo para el siguiente uso. 

Por todo esto,  el Hurom H400 fue elegido por Forbes como el mejor extractor de jugos de 2024. Una prueba que dice mucho sobre su practicidad y buen rendimiento.


Consejos para potenciar los efectos de los jugos antiinflamatorios

Tomar un jugo para desinflamar el cuerpo cada mañana ya es un buen comienzo. Aporta agua al organismo, enzimas digestivas y nutrientes que ayudan a aliviar la inflamación. 

Pero si quieres que estos jugos funcionen aún mejor, hay pequeñas acciones que puedes incorporar a tu estilo de vida:

  • Usa ingredientes frescos y de temporada: Frutas y vegetales recién comprados conservan mejor sus nutrientes. Siempre que puedas, elige ingredientes de origen local y sin procesar.

  • Evita acompañarlos con alimentos inflamatorios: Si consumes estos jugos junto con pan blanco o alimentos con exceso de sodio, su efecto se reduce. Lo ideal es acompañarlos con el consumo de alimentos ricos en fibra, nutrientes y grasas saludables, como vegetales, legumbres y proteínas limpias.

  • Cambia las recetas cada semana: Variar las combinaciones y probar otros ingredientes complementarios te ayuda a obtener más beneficios y cubrir necesidades distintas. Además, evitarás que los sabores se vuelvan repetitivos.

  • Bebe el jugo lentamente y sin apuros: Aunque sea líquido, tu cuerpo necesita procesarlo. Tomarlo despacio mejora la absorción y evita molestias digestivas.

  • Presta atención a cómo reacciona tu cuerpo: Algunos ingredientes pueden caerte mejor que otros. Si notas hinchazón, gases o malestar, prueba ajustar las cantidades o eliminar algo específico de la receta.

  • Acompaña el jugo con hidratación constante: El jugo hidrata, sí, pero no sustituye el consumo de agua. Tomar suficiente agua durante el día ayuda al cuerpo a eliminar toxinas y mantiene tu sistema digestivo funcionando correctamente.

Una rutina más ligera empieza con un jugo simple

Cuidar tu digestión y reducir la inflamación no tiene que ser complicado. Incluir un jugo para desinflamar el cuerpo cada mañana es una forma concreta de empezar mejor el día, con más energía y menos malestar.

Lo que hace la diferencia no es solo el hábito, sino también la calidad de los ingredientes y el método que usas para prepararlo. Un extractor lento como los de Hurom te ayuda a conservar nutrientes clave, reducir la oxidación y obtener un jugo que tu cuerpo pueda aprovechar de verdad.

Si estás buscando una forma práctica, eficiente y duradera de hacer jugos todos los días, vale la pena elegir un extractor confiable. En el catálogo de Hurom encontrarás modelos pensados para facilitar ese proceso y simplificar tu estilo de vida.


Preguntas frecuentes sobre los jugos para desinflamar el cuerpo

Si estás empezando con los jugos para desinflamar el cuerpo o quieres asegurarte de estar haciéndolo bien, estas respuestas  a las preguntas más frecuentes pueden ayudarte:

¿Es mejor tomar jugos para desinflamar en ayunas o con alimentos?

Tomar jugos para desinflamar en ayunas ayuda a que el cuerpo absorba mejor los nutrientes, sin interferencias de otros alimentos. Pero si prefieres tomarlos después del desayuno o como parte de una comida ligera, también es válido. Lo más importante es que se adapten a tu rutina y te sienten bien.

¿Cuánto tiempo tarda en hacer efecto un jugo desinflamatorio?

No es algo inmediato, pero con consumo constante y una buena alimentación, puedes notar mejoras en pocos días. Menos hinchazón, digestión más ligera y mayor regularidad son algunos de los cambios que muchas personas reportan después de incluir estos jugos en su rutina.

¿Cuál es el mejor jugo para desinflamar?

No hay una sola receta que funcione para todos. Ingredientes, como la cúrcuma, el jengibre, la piña, las ramas de apio y algunas frutas verdes, son conocidos por sus propiedades antiinflamatorias. Lo ideal es variar las combinaciones y ver cuál se adapta mejor a tus necesidades y gustos.

¿Cuánto tiempo puedo guardar un jugo antiinflamatorio sin que pierda sus propiedades?

Lo ideal es tomarlo justo después de prepararlo. Pero si necesitas guardarlo, colócalo en un frasco de vidrio hermético, en el refrigerador, por no más de 72 horas. Mientras menos contacto tenga con el aire y la luz, mejor conservará sus propiedades.

¿Puedo hacer jugos desinflamatorios sin extractor?

Sí, puedes usar una licuadora y luego colar el contenido. Sin embargo, el proceso es más lento, genera más residuos y muchas veces pierde sus valores nutricionales en el filtrado. 

Si lo que buscas es conservar al máximo los beneficios, un extractor lento como los que ofrece Hurom te ofrece mejores resultados, con menos esfuerzo y mayor aprovechamiento de cada ingrediente.

Jugo para Bajar de Peso: Cómo Funciona + 5 Recetas Saludables

Los jugos para bajar de peso se han vuelto populares por su facilidad para integrarse en una dieta saludable. No es una solución mágica, pero combinados adecuadamente, estos jugos pueden apoyar tu proceso adelgazante, aportando nutrientes esenciales y ayudando a controlar el apetito.

Aquí aprenderás cómo hacerlos correctamente, y así aprovechar al máximo sus beneficios. Comencemos.

¿Cómo los jugos pueden ayudarte a bajar de peso?

El consumo regular de jugos naturales, hecho con intención y buenos ingredientes, puede complementar una dieta enfocada en la pérdida de peso. Al tratarse de preparaciones ligeras, pero nutritivas, se integran fácilmente a distintas rutinas sin necesidad de recurrir a soluciones extremas o desequilibradas.

El juicing, o la práctica de incorporar jugos frescos a tu día a día, se ha vuelto popular por una buena razón. Según los ingredientes que elijas, puedes aprovechar diferentes beneficios que te ayudan a perder peso de forma más efectiva y natural.

Beneficios de los jugos para bajar de peso de forma saludable

Los efectos de los jugos naturales no se limitan a una sola función. Combinando frutas y verduras adecuadas, puedes obtener beneficios complementarios que favorecen tu proceso de adelgazamiento:

  • Aporte de nutrientes esenciales con pocas calorías: Los jugos frescos son una gran fuente de vitaminas, minerales, compuestos bioactivos y antioxidantes, concentrados en una bebida ligera. Esto permite nutrir tu cuerpo reduciendo la ingesta calórica diaria.

  • Mejoran la digestión y eliminan toxinas: Algunas frutas y verduras, especialmente las verdes como las espinacas frescas o el pepino, contienen buenas cantidades de fibras solubles. Esto favorece la digestión y depura el cuerpo, absorbiendo mejor los nutrientes y optimizando la quema de grasa.

  • Hidratación y reducción de líquidos retenidos: Beber jugos con alto contenido de agua, como los elaborados con pepino, apio y limón, ayuda a mantener una buena hidratación. Además, sus propiedades diuréticas favorecen la eliminación de líquidos retenidos, reduciendo la inflamación corporal.

  • Control del apetito y reducción de antojos: El contenido de fibra y nutrientes de los jugos naturales aumenta la sensación de saciedad. Esto evita que tengas hambre entre comidas y reduce el consumo de alimentos poco saludables por antojo.

Jugos para bajar de peso: ¿complemento o dependencia?

Es importante tener claro que los jugos no sustituyen una comida completa. Aunque son ricos en nutrientes, no aportan todas las grasas saludables, proteínas ni fibras que tu cuerpo necesita a diario. 

Si basas tu alimentación solo en jugos durante mucho tiempo, corres el riesgo de sufrir desnutrición. Esto se debe a que tu organismo no estaría recibiendo todo lo que necesita para funcionar bien.

Lo mejor es usarlos como un apoyo dentro de una alimentación equilibrada. Puedes tomar un jugo por la mañana o entre una comida principal y otra, pero sin dejar de lado platos sólidos que incluyan proteínas, cereales integrales, grasas buenas y vegetales enteros. Así logras resultados reales y sostenibles sin poner en riesgo tu salud.

Ingredientes clave para quemar grasa y acelerar el metabolismo

Elegir los ingredientes correctos al preparar jugos adelgazantes marca una gran diferencia. Aquí tienes los más efectivos para estimular el metabolismo y quemar grasa de forma natural:

Frutas termogénicas y diuréticas

  • Toronja: Esta fruta es una conocida fuente de  antioxidantes y vitamina C. Acelera el metabolismo, mejora la digestión y controla los niveles de azúcar en la sangre.

  • Limón: Poderoso antioxidante y desintoxicante, favorece la eliminación de líquidos y toxinas.

  • Piña: Esta fruta rica en bromelina facilita la digestión y reduce la inflamación abdominal.

  • Frutos rojos: Bajos en azúcar y ricos en sustancias antioxidantes, fortalecen el sistema inmune y ayudan a eliminar grasa.

Verduras aliadas en la pérdida de peso

  • Espinaca: Alta en fibra y baja en calorías, ideal para una dieta baja en azúcares. Ayuda a reducir el apetito y limpia el organismo.

  • Pepino: Rico en agua y minerales, mejora la hidratación y favorece la eliminación de líquidos. El agregado de pepino aporta frescura, ayuda a reducir la hinchazón y complementa muy bien los jugos adelgazantes.

  • Apio: Contiene propiedades diuréticas y depurativas que limpian el sistema digestivo.

  • Col rizada: Aporta calcio, hierro y antioxidantes. Fortalece el cuerpo, mejora el metabolismo y complementa perfectamente una dieta baja en calorías.

  • Perejil: Las ramitas de perejil tienen un efecto diurético, ayudando a eliminar líquidos retenidos y a depurar el organismo.

  • Berros: Un manojo de berros aporta antioxidantes, vitaminas y propiedades depurativas que ayudan a reducir la inflamación y estimular la pérdida de peso.

Raíces y especias activadoras del metabolismo

  • Jengibre: Estimula la digestión, reduce la inflamación y acelera la tasa metabólica, ayudando a quemar calorías extra.

  • Cúrcuma: Tiene propiedades antiinflamatorias y ayuda a regular el metabolismo de los lípidos.

  • Canela: Un toque de canela en polvo puede ayudarte a controlar los niveles de glucosa en sangre, reducir los antojos y mantener tu energía estable durante el día.

Ingredientes extra para aumentar la saciedad

  • Semillas de chía: Ricas en omega-3 y gramos de fibra soluble, aumentan la saciedad y estabilizan el azúcar en sangre.

  • Linaza: Favorece la digestión, aporta omega-3 y tiene propiedades laxantes que promueven el correcto funcionamiento del sistema digestivo.

  • Jugo de limón: Aumenta la absorción de nutrientes, fortalece el sistema inmune y mejora la hidratación.

  • Avena: Agregar al menos una cucharada de avena a estos jugos aporta fibra soluble. Este alimento funcional mejora la digestión y ayuda con el control del peso de forma natural.

Complementos naturales y sabrosos

Estos ingredientes no activan directamente el metabolismo, pero pueden mejorar la textura, el sabor y la experiencia al preparar jugos adelgazantes. Eso sí, úsalos con moderación para ajustar el perfil nutricional de tus recetas sin afectar sus beneficios.

  • Hojas de lechuga: Este ingrediente aporta agua y fibra ligera, lo que mejora la digestión sin alterar el sabor del jugo. Las hojas de lechuga son una opción liviana para complementar recetas más verdes.

  • Agua de coco: Aporta electrolitos naturales y un sabor refrescante que hidrata sin añadir azúcares innecesarios. El agua de coco posee propiedades que lo convierten en un excelente complemento para jugos frutales.

  • Leche vegetal: Aporta suavidad y cremosidad sin necesidad de recurrir a lácteos como la leche desnatada. Una opción común es la leche de almendras, ideal para quienes buscan una alternativa ligera y sin azúcares añadidos.

  • Bananas: Agregar bananas al gusto aporta textura, energía y dulzura natural. Aunque se trata de una fruta rica en sabor, úsala con equilibrio para no elevar el contenido calórico.

  • Miel de abeja: Una cucharadita de miel es suficiente para endulzar sin azúcar refinada. Además, aporta antioxidantes y un sabor suave que complementa muy bien los jugos con cítricos o especias.

Combinar estos ingredientes de forma inteligente maximiza sus beneficios, manteniendo un nivel controlado de azúcar natural en cada jugo.

Lo más importante es enfocarte en lo que tu cuerpo necesita y crear mezclas que no solo te ayuden a perder peso, sino que también disfrutes. Cada jugo puede convertirse en un alimento funcional si eliges los ingredientes adecuados.

Pro Tip: Utilizar un extractor Hurom garantiza que extraigas la máxima cantidad de nutrientes esenciales sin pérdida por oxidación, manteniendo intactos todos los beneficios de estos ingredientes. Visita el catálogo de Hurom y encuentra el aliado ideal para una dieta equilibrada.

Las mejores combinaciones de jugos para saciedad y quema de grasa

Combinar adecuadamente ciertos ingredientes puede potenciar significativamente los efectos adelgazantes de los jugos. Estas combinaciones específicas ayudan a lograr objetivos concretos como aumentar la saciedad, acelerar el metabolismo, eliminar líquidos retenidos o incluso brindar energía extra durante el día.

Combinaciones ideales según el propósito:

  • Para saciedad: Jugo de manzana verde + semillas de chía + pepino. La fibra soluble de la manzana verde y las semillas de chía se combinan para generar saciedad prolongada. El pepino añade hidratación y minerales esenciales.

  • Para acelerar el metabolismo: Jengibre + cúrcuma + toronja. La toronja, rica en vitamina C, y la cúrcuma, con su efecto antiinflamatorio, ayudan a activar el metabolismo. Mientras, las cualidades del jengibre como estimulante también contribuyen a facilitar la quema de calorías.

  • Para eliminación de líquidos: Apio + piña + limón. Esta combinación es ideal para reducir la retención de líquidos gracias al efecto diurético del apio y del limón, además del apoyo digestivo de la bromelina en la piña.

  • Para un impulso energético: Espinaca + naranja + zanahoria. Este jugo es una buena fuente de vitaminas A y C, hierro y antioxidantes esenciales, elevando los niveles de energía y concentración, ideal antes del ejercicio.

¿Cómo optimizar la absorción de estos ingredientes?

Para aprovechar al máximo los nutrientes de tus jugos, lo mejor es tomarlos justo después de prepararlos. Con el tiempo, el contacto con el aire y la luz hace que algunos compuestos, como la vitamina C y ciertos antioxidantes, se degraden.

También es clave no colarlos ni añadirles azúcar. Así mantienes la fibra soluble y evitas alterar su efecto natural en el cuerpo. Si usas ingredientes frescos y sigues estos pasos, tu cuerpo podrá absorber mejor lo que realmente necesita.

¿Cómo incluir estos jugos en una dieta enfocada en bajar de peso?

Para que los jugos adelgazantes tengan un efecto óptimo, es importante consumirlos en momentos estratégicos del día, integrándolos correctamente en tu dieta diaria. Así maximizarás su efectividad sin comprometer una nutrición equilibrada.

¿Cuál es el mejor momento para tomar jugos y bajar de peso?

El beneficio de cada jugo también depende del momento en que lo tomes. Estas son algunas de las mejores opciones según tus objetivos:

  • En ayunas para activar el metabolismo: Tomar un jugo verde o detox en ayunas ayuda a estimular el metabolismo y favorece una mejor absorción de nutrientes durante todo el día.

  • Como snack saludable para reducir antojos: Consumir jugos frescos entre comidas principales mantiene estable el nivel de azúcar en sangre y reduce la ingesta de alimentos poco saludables por antojo.

  • Antes de hacer ejercicio: Un jugo energizante con naranja, zanahoria y hojas de espinaca puede darte la energía necesaria para rendir mejor en tus entrenamientos y aprovechar mejor cada sesión de ejercicio.

¿Puedo reemplazar comidas con jugos para bajar de peso?

Si bien los jugos no deben sustituir regularmente ninguna comida principal, pueden servir ocasionalmente como una opción saludable para reemplazar comidas ligeras. Por ejemplo, un jugo combinado con semillas o frutos secos puede aportar suficiente nutrición y fibra para una comida liviana ocasional.

Para quienes siguen dietas estrictas o planes controlados, estos jugos funcionan como una alternativa nutritiva y efectiva que contribuye a mantener una alimentación baja en calorías sin comprometer la salud ni la energía.

¿Qué opción es mejor para bajar de peso: jugo prensado en frío o batidos?

Aunque tanto los jugos como los batidos pueden formar parte de una dieta balanceada para bajar de peso, no funcionan de la misma forma. Veamos por qué:

Diferencias clave entre jugos prensados en frío y batidos para bajar de peso

  • Jugos prensados en frío: Al eliminar la fibra insoluble, permiten una absorción mucho más rápida de los nutrientes. Esto ayuda a desintoxicar el cuerpo, activar el metabolismo y aprovechar mejor las propiedades de frutas y verduras sin sobrecargar el sistema digestivo.

  • Batidos: Al conservar toda la fibra, tanto los batidos verdes como adelgazantes pueden resultar más pesados y lentos de digerir. Es cierto que generan saciedad y pueden reducir el hambre entre comidas. Pero también pueden provocar hinchazón o malestar si se combinan mal, y su densidad calórica es mayor que la de los jugos.

¿Qué es mejor para bajar de peso: jugo o batido?

  • Jugos: Son ideales si buscas desintoxicarte, activar tu metabolismo y sentirte con más energía sin sentirte pesada. Funcionan muy bien en ayunas, como snack o incluso antes de entrenar, y su efecto refrescante e hidratante es inmediato.

  • Batidos: Pueden ser útiles si necesitas llenar el estómago por más tiempo, pero no siempre son la mejor opción si estás tratando de reducir calorías o evitar digestiones lentas. Algunos combinan demasiados ingredientes, lo que puede sabotear tus esfuerzos e incluso favorecer el aumento de peso si la ingesta de alimentos durante el día no está equilibrada.

En resumen, si buscas ligereza, limpieza interna y resultados visibles más rápido, el jugo prensado en frío es la mejor opción. Su efecto depurativo, bajo contenido calórico y fácil absorción lo convierten en un gran aliado para adelgazar sin complicaciones.

Pro tip: Puedes preparar jugos frescos y también batidos para bajar de peso usando exprimidores Hurom.

Extractores Hurom: La mejor opción para preparar jugos adelgazantes

Cuando preparas jugos para bajar de peso, elegir un buen extractor marca una gran diferencia en los resultados que obtienes. Los extractores lentos Hurom son reconocidos por su calidad superior y facilidad de uso, ayudándote a extraer jugos más frescos, saludables y ricos en nutrientes esenciales.

El resultado son jugos naturales con mejor sabor, más nutrientes y una textura equilibrada. Además, los jugos preparados con extractores Hurom se mantienen frescos hasta por 72 horas, sin separarse ni oxidarse rápidamente.

Preguntas frecuentes sobre los jugos para bajar de peso

Aquí encontrarás respuestas prácticas a algunas dudas comunes sobre cómo aprovechar mejor los jugos naturales en tu proceso de pérdida de peso.

¿Cuáles son los mejores jugos para bajar de peso?

Los mejores jugos combinan ingredientes bajos en calorías, abundantes fibras y propiedades diuréticas o termogénicas. Algunos ejemplos efectivos son el jugo verde detox con espinacas frescas, pepino y limón, o jugos con toronja, jengibre y apio.

¿Qué jugo sirve para quemar grasa?

Los jugos que incluyen ingredientes como toronja, jengibre, cúrcuma o piña son excelentes para quemar grasa. La toronja reduce el apetito, el jengibre acelera el metabolismo, y la piña facilita la digestión y reduce la inflamación.

¿Qué jugo es bueno para perder grasa abdominal?

Para reducir grasa abdominal, opta por jugos que contengan ingredientes como ramas de apio, pepino, limón y jengibre. Estos ingredientes ayudan a eliminar líquidos, reducir la inflamación y acelerar el metabolismo, favoreciendo una pérdida efectiva de grasa abdominal.

¿Qué jugo natural puedo tomar por la noche para adelgazar?

Un jugo ideal para consumir por la noche es uno ligero, bajo en azúcar y calmante para el sistema digestivo, como una mezcla de pepino, ramas de apio, limón y menta. Este jugo ayuda a hidratarte, desintoxicarte y mejorar la digestión mientras descansas.

¿Puedo reemplazar una comida con jugo para bajar de peso?

Puedes reemplazar ocasionalmente una comida ligera con un jugo nutritivo acompañado de alguna fuente abundante de grasas saludables como semillas o frutos secos.

Sin embargo, no debes depender exclusivamente de jugos a largo plazo. Al hacerlo, podrías comprometer tu nutrición y dificultar el mantenimiento del peso de forma estable.

¿Por qué un extractor Hurom es mejor que una licuadora para hacer jugos saludables?

Un extractor Hurom es superior porque utiliza tecnología de prensado en frío (Slow Squeeze) para obtener jugos más nutritivos, frescos y con menos oxidación que una licuadora tradicional. 

Además, los jugos preparados en extractores Hurom tienen mejor sabor y conservan intactos los nutrientes esenciales, aprovechando al máximo cada ingrediente.

¿Cuándo y cómo tomar jugo para desintoxicar el cuerpo?

Incluir jugos desintoxicantes en la alimentación puede ser beneficioso, pero el momento en el que los consumes también influye en sus efectos. Para aprovechar al máximo sus propiedades, es importante saber cuál es el mejor horario y qué hábitos pueden potenciar sus beneficios.

Mejores momentos para el consumo de jugos depurativos

Tomar jugo en el momento adecuado puede hacer la diferencia en cómo el cuerpo lo asimila. Aquí te dejamos algunas opciones recomendadas:

  • En ayunas: Al despertar, el cuerpo absorbe mejor los nutrientes y el jugo puede ayudar a activar el metabolismo.

  • Durante el día como snack: Es una alternativa ligera y nutritiva para mantener la energía sin recurrir a opciones procesadas.

  • Antes de dormir: Algunas combinaciones pueden ayudar en la regeneración celular y la eliminación de toxinas durante la noche.

Consejos para maximizar los beneficios de los jugos detox

Si quieres sacarle el máximo provecho a cada vaso, aquí tienes algunos consejos clave:

  • Consúmelos frescos: Lo ideal es tomarlos justo después de prepararlos para conservar sus nutrientes.

  • Evita el azúcar o endulzantes artificiales: Los ingredientes naturales ya aportan el dulzor necesario.

  • Elige ingredientes orgánicos cuando sea posible: Así evitas residuos de pesticidas y obtienes una mayor calidad nutricional.

Consideraciones al tomar jugo para desintoxicar el cuerpo

Aunque los jugos para desintoxicar pueden ser una gran adición a la alimentación, es importante consumirlos de forma equilibrada. No se trata de sustituir comidas principales ni de llegar a extremos, sino de integrarlos como parte de una dieta saludable.

¿Existen riesgos al consumir jugos depurativos en exceso?

El consumo de jugos depurativos en cantidades moderadas es seguro para la mayoría de las personas, pero el exceso puede traer algunos efectos negativos:

  • Picos de azúcar en sangre: Algunos jugos depurativos con mucha fruta pueden elevar rápidamente los niveles de glucosa si se toman en grandes cantidades.

  • Falta de fibra: Al extraer el jugo, se pierde parte del aporte de fibra insoluble de los ingredientes, lo que puede afectar la digestión si no se complementa con otros alimentos con alto aporte de fibra insoluble.

  • Impacto en el funcionamiento renal: Los jugos con ingredientes diuréticos, como el apio o el pepino, pueden generar un esfuerzo extra para los riñones si se consumen en exceso.

¿Cuánto tiempo se pueden tomar jugos detox de manera segura?

No hay una regla estricta sobre cuánto tiempo es recomendable tomar jugos detox, pero en general:

  • Como complemento diario: Puedes incluir un jugo detox al día sin problema, siempre que mantengas una alimentación balanceada.

  • Limpiezas cortas: Si decides hacer un plan de jugos por uno o dos días, asegúrate de seguir escuchando a tu cuerpo y mantener una buena hidratación.

  • Evita dietas extremas: No es recomendable hacer dietas prolongadas solo a base de jugos, ya que pueden generar deficiencias nutricionales.

¿Cómo elegir la mejor forma de preparar jugo para desintoxicar el cuerpo?

Para aprovechar al máximo los beneficios de un jugo detox, no solo importa qué ingredientes uses, sino también cómo los preparas. Existen diferencias clave entre los jugos envasados y los hechos en casa, así como entre extraer jugo y licuar los ingredientes.

¿Por qué los jugos envasados no son la mejor opción?

Los jugos comerciales pueden parecer una alternativa práctica, pero su proceso de producción suele afectar la calidad de los nutrientes. Algunas razones por las que no son la mejor opción incluyen:

  • Pasteurización: Para alargar su vida útil, los jugos envasados se someten a procesos térmicos que destruyen parte de las vitaminas y enzimas.

  • Azúcares añadidos y conservantes: Muchos contienen edulcorantes o ingredientes artificiales que pueden reducir sus beneficios.

  • Pérdida de frescura: Un jugo recién hecho conserva mejor sus propiedades, mientras que los envasados pueden perder grandes cantidades de nutrientes con el tiempo.

Juicing vs. Blending para la Desintoxicación

A la hora de preparar un jugo detox, puedes encontrar dos métodos principales: extraer jugo con un extractor lento o licuar los ingredientes. Cada uno tiene sus propias características:

  • Juicing (Extracción de jugo): Separa el jugo de la fibra, lo que permite una absorción más rápida de los nutrientes y menos esfuerzo digestivo. Ideal para quienes buscan una opción ligera y de fácil asimilación.

  • Blending (Licuado): Mantiene la fibra de los ingredientes. No es una extracción de jugo como tal, sino una bebida con pulpa incluida.

Si buscas un jugo detox puro, lo mejor es usar un exprimidor lento. A diferencia de otros métodos, extrae el jugo sin generar calor ni oxidación, preservando más nutrientes y logrando un sabor más fresco y natural.

Por qué Hurom es la mejor opción para preparar jugos para desintoxicar

Cuando se trata de jugos detox, la calidad del extractor hace la diferencia. No todos los métodos de extracción son iguales, y elegir un buen equipo garantiza que los jugos conserven la mayor cantidad de nutrientes posible. 

Hurom se destaca como la mejor opción gracias a su tecnología de extracción lenta, su facilidad de uso y su diseño pensado para el día a día.

Preguntas Frecuentes Sobre los Jugos Para Desintoxicar el Cuerpo

Si estás empezando a incluir jugos detox en tu rutina, es normal que surjan dudas. Aquí respondemos algunas de las preguntas más comunes.

¿Cuál es el mejor jugo para desintoxicar el cuerpo?

No hay un único jugo que funcione para todo el mundo, pero algunos ingredientes clave como la piña, el pepino, el apio y el limón son excelentes opciones para apoyar la eliminación de toxinas. 

Si buscas un efecto más completo, el jugo verde clásico detox es una gran alternativa, ya que combina verduras de hoja verde, pepino, manzana y limón para ayudar al hígado y mejorar la digestión.

¿Cuál es el mejor jugo para desintoxicar el hígado?

El hígado es el órgano encargado de filtrar toxinas, por lo que incluir ingredientes como espinaca fresca, manzana verde, pepino y jengibre en un jugo puede ayudar a optimizar su función. 

El jugo verde para desintoxicar el hígado que mencionamos antes es una excelente opción, ya que combina estos ingredientes con limón para potenciar su efecto depurativo.

¿Qué lleva el jugo verde para desintoxicar?

Un buen jugo verde para desintoxicar el cuerpo suele incluir una base de verduras de hoja verde como espinacas o kale, combinadas con pepino, apio, manzana verde y un toque de limón o jengibre. 

Si buscas más ideas, visita nuestro post sobre jugos verdes desintoxicantes

¿Qué jugos puedo tomar por la noche para desintoxicar mi cuerpo?

Si quieres un jugo detox antes de dormir, elige combinaciones que sean suaves para el sistema digestivo, como jugo de zanahoria y naranja o jugo de manzana y apio. Evita ingredientes con alto contenido de azúcar o que sean demasiado estimulantes, como el jengibre en grandes cantidades.

¿Por qué un extractor lento es mejor que una licuadora para preparar jugos detox?

Los extractores lentos, como los de Hurom, extraen el jugo sin generar calor ni oxidación, lo que ayuda a conservar mejor los nutrientes. En cambio, una licuadora tritura los ingredientes junto con la fibra, lo que da como resultado una bebida más espesa y con una digestión más lenta. 

Si buscas un jugo detox más puro, ligero y con la máxima cantidad de vitaminas y minerales, un extractor Hurom es la mejor opción.

Weight Loss Juice Recipes: The Best Juices for Weight Loss

Do you want to lose weight and lead a healthy lifestyle? You’ll need some great juicing recipes for weight loss. 

While it’s important to consume whole foods, juicing fruits and vegetables makes it easy and fast to get all those nutrients in a single glass. Plus, not everyone is a fan of vegetables; but juicing them with fruits makes them go down easier. 

Being overweight or obese puts you at risk of life-threatening diseases. It’s never too late to take charge of your health and lose those extra pounds. And juicing can be a key part of that journey for you. 

Here are 10 easy recipes and a 7-day weight loss plan to get you started.

Can Juicing Help You Lose Weight?

Juicing may help you lose weight through a calorie deficit, especially if you’re consuming juices low in calories. Contrary to popular opinion, juices don’t cause weight loss. However, they can be a means to it. 

For weight loss, the key is to be in a calorie deficit (you must consume fewer calories than you need to maintain your weight). The calorie deficit will depend on your current weight, goal weight, age, and biological sex. Activity level and current eating habits also influence fat-burn. 

Juicing for weight loss works whether you combine it with strict calorie tracking or portion control. 

Fresh juice has a lot of health benefits. It gives you essential nutrients and antioxidants without too many calories. That means you’ll have ample energy from the juice to get through your day while you’re eating less. You can even tackle your workouts well enough while you’re on that calorie deficit. 

Remember: Not all juices help with your weight loss journey. 

For instance, fruit juices are generally high in sugar content, which may hinder your weight loss (particularly fat loss) goals by increasing sugar intake. Juices with more vegetables tend to have a low glycemic index and are low in calories, so they’re a better choice for a weight-loss diet. In fact, research shows that a higher vegetable intake can help with weight loss without any other modifications.

So, if you want to reap these benefits, keep reading below: 

10 Cold-Press Juicing Recipes for Weight Loss

Here are our top picks for weight loss juice recipes for juicers:

1. Celery Juice 

Celery juice is a hydrating, low-calorie drink that supports digestion and helps reduce bloating. It’s hands down one of the best additions to any weight-loss meal plan. Packed with antioxidants and natural electrolytes, you can drink this juice any time of the day.

Calories per serving: 40 kcal

Ingredients:

  • 4–5 celery stalks

  • ½ lemon (optional, for taste)

  • ½ inch piece of ginger (optional, for added metabolism boost)

  2. Run them through your cold-press Hurom juicer (with the ginger, if adding).

  3. If using, squeeze in fresh lemon juice. 

  4. Stir and serve immediately.

2. Green Juice

This green juice is one of the best low-carb juice recipes for weight loss. Your juices should have more veggies than fruits if you’re trying to shed some pounds, and that’s precisely what you get with proper green juice. This one has leafy greens like kale (rich in beta-carotene) and spinach (rich in folate and iron). The apple adds a bit of sweetness to the mix, so it’s also enjoyable.

Calories per serving: 70 kcal

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup spinach

  • ½ cucumber

  • 1 green apple

  • ½ lemon

  1. Wash the leafy green vegetables well.

Cabbage, carrots, and apple (CCA) juice is the go-to juice for Nick Bosa, San Francisco 49er’s defensive end. It’s a super simple recipe with ingredients that are anti-inflammatory and give you a kick of energy without excessive calories. It’s particularly good for those with chronic conditions marked by inflammation that cause weight gain. 

Calories per serving: 120 kcal

  3. Toss all the ingredients into the hopper of your Hurom juicer. 

  4. Press the button and extract the juice into the container.  


4. Cucumber and Mint Juice

Cucumber is low in calories and high in water content. It keeps you hydrated and full. Mint, on the other hand, helps digestion and has a refreshing flavor. This juice can be great as a post-workout hydration booster, especially if you’re doing a lot of cardio or high-intensity exercises to help with weight loss.  

Calories per serving: 45 kcal

Ingredients:

  • 2 large cucumbers

  • 10 fresh mint leaves

  • ½ lemon (optional, for that extra zing)

Instructions:

  1. Peel and chop the cucumbers.

  2. Juice them with the mint in a Hurom juicer. 

  3. Add ice cubes and serve. 

5. Wheatgrass Pear Juice 

If you have a wheatgrass juicer like the Hurom H400, you can prepare this juice every day to take advantage of its nutrients. After all, they support detoxification and improve digestion, which is exactly what you need on a weight loss plan. Wheatgrass juice on its own may not go down well, so we combined it with pear. That way, we added natural sweetness and fiber for satiety. 

Calories per serving: 80 kcal

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz fresh wheatgrass

  • 1 ¼ cup of ripe pear

Instructions:

  1. Wash and prepare the wheatgrass by cutting it smaller. 

  2. Prepare the pears by removing their core/seeds. 

  3. Add both ingredients to the hopper. 

  4. Extract the juice. 

6. Tomato Grape Juice

Tomatoes and grapes are rich in antioxidants and vitamins while being low in calories. This juice helps reduce inflammation and accelerate muscle recovery after a workout. If you’re combining a weight loss diet with exercise (which you should), prepare this juice as a post-workout drink. 

Calories per serving: 60 kcal

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cup of red grapes

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes

  • ⅓ lemon

Instructions:

  1. Wash the grapes and cherry tomatoes. 

  2. Place half the grapes, then tomatoes and lemon, then the remaining grapes in the hopper. 

  3. Turn on the juicer and extract. 

7. Grapefruit Triple Juice

Grapefruit is known for its weight loss benefits. In one study, both whole grapefruit and its juice were found to help reduce weight. This grapefruit triple juice is a must-have weight loss juice. It combines ingredients with vitamin C and beta carotene—all great for your metabolic health. 

Calories per serving: 90 kcal

Ingredients:

  • 1 grapefruit

  • 1 orange

  • 1 cup pineapple chunks

  • 2 cups fresh carrots

  • ½ lemon (optional)

  1. Peel and prepare the grapefruit and orange. 

  2. Prepare the pineapple by peeling it and removing its core (you can use canned pineapple if you don’t have a fresh one).

  3. Add all the ingredients to your Hurom juicer.

  4. Extract the juice and stir it well. 

8. Kale and Apple Juice

This is one of the best healthy juice recipes for weight loss. Kale is a superfood that supports detoxification and has minimal calories. Although apples’ natural sugars increase the carb content, remember you’re adding natural sugars and healthy soluble fiber. Besides, the kale balances the juice out. It’s ideal for the mornings, because this fiber-rich combo will keep you fuller and provide a natural energy boost. 

Calories per serving: 85 kcal

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup kale

  • 1 green apple

  • ½ lemon (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Wash and chop the kale. 

  2. Prepare the apples and cut them into slices. 

  3. Juice the ingredients with a Hurom juicer. 

9. Carrot Juice

The good old carrot juice may also help with weight loss. Carrots pack in so many nutrients without being calorie-dense. Plus, they contain soluble fiber, which helps you stay fuller for longer. If you like some more pulp in your juice – aka insoluble fiber – use a juicer like Hurom H310 or H400

Calories per serving: 70 kcal

Ingredients:

  • 4 large carrots

  • ½ lemon

Instructions:

  1. Wash and chop carrots.

  2. Add to the hopper of your Hurom juicer. 

  3. Extract the juice and enjoy. 

10. Spinach and Strawberry Juice

Try to drink more veggie-heavy juices when dieting for weight loss. And what better vegetable to juice than spinach, which is packed with iron and fiber. Since spinach juice on its own won’t be that appetizing, adding pineapple does the trick. Plus, strawberries aid digestion and give a sweeter note to green juice recipes like this one.

Calories per serving: 85 kcal

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup spinach

  • 2 cups strawberries

Instructions:

  1. Wash, prepare, and chop the spinach. 

  2. Juice the ingredients with a Hurom slow juicer. 

  3. Serve immediately or refrigerate. 

Juicing Weight Loss Plan

If you want to incorporate more juicing into your weight management diet, you need a juicing plan. You can choose appropriate recipes for the time of day, for example, breakfast, pre- or post-workout, or dinner. Plus, having a diet plan with juices allows you to shop and prepare the ingredients in advance and save your time. 

Juices shouldn’t be the only thing in your weight loss diet—you should also consume low-calorie meals, ideally rich in protein. However, juicing as part of your weight loss regimen can be used to supplement essential nutrients. Juices can also serve as meal replacements for when you’re too busy or not quite hungry. 

Here’s a 7-day juicing plan as a guide with low-calorie juice recipes listed above:

Day 1

  • Morning: Celery Juice 

  • Midday: Green Juice

Tips for Juicing for Weight Loss

Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your juices for fat loss:

  • Use more veggies than fruits: If you’re juicing specifically for weight loss, drink more veggie-heavy juices. Juices with vegetables, especially leafy greens, are super low in calories and don’t spike your insulin levels like 100% fruit juices. 

  • Track your calorie intake: For your weight loss to be successful and sustainable, you must track what you eat and drink. You can use an app with a calorie tracker to ensure you’re not exceeding your target daily calories for weight loss. 

  • Avoid store-bought juices: Don’t drink packaged, store-bought juices, as those are normally heavy in sugars. And that’s the last thing you need when on a weight loss diet. Invest in a quality juicer and drink healthy, homemade juices. 

  • Go for cold-pressed juice: Drink cold-pressed juices made with a masticating juicer and reap their many benefits. A slow-pressed juice has a richer taste and a better nutrient profile. As a result, it’s healthier than juice made in a centrifugal juicer. 

  • Save time with batch juicing: If you’re following a proper juicing diet plan, you’d be better off juicing batches. You can refrigerate or even freeze the juice in portions for later consumption. 

  • Don’t forget exercise: While diet plays the most important role in fat loss, exercise can amplify the effects. You’d be in a greater calorie deficit if you add moderate exercise for at least three days a week. That means faster weight loss and overall better health.  

Say Goodbye to Those Extra Pounds!

The cold-pressed juice recipes for weight loss will help you get all the precious nutrients and antioxidants. More importantly, these juices can help you realize your weight loss goals if consumed strategically in your cutting diet, which will cause you to have a caloric deficit. 

Of course, you’ll need a reliable juicer to make all those juicing recipes for weight loss. Try Hurom slow juicers with their Slow Squeeze Technology, which presses out the maximum juice without killing any nutrients.

FAQs

What is the best juice to lose weight?

Vegetable-heavy juices, like those with celery, cucumber, and spinach, are generally best due to their low calorie and sugar content. These juices provide valuable nutrients while supporting a calorie deficit.

Is juicing a good way to lose weight?

Juicing can be helpful in weight loss, but it may not be a standalone solution. It can increase nutrient intake and sometimes lower calorie intake. However, for long-term weight loss, a well-balanced diet with whole foods is essential. 

What juices to avoid to lose weight?

Avoid juices high in fruit sugars, such as those made primarily from grapes, mangoes, or excessive amounts of apple juice. These may contribute to excess calorie intake and blood sugar spikes.

Also, stay away from packaged juices with added sugars and preservatives. 

What is the 80/20 rule of juicing?

The 80/20 rule in juicing refers to a ratio of 80% vegetables to 20% fruits. The point of following it is to minimize sugar intake while maximizing nutrient density. It’s highly recommended to stick to the 80/20 rule when juicing for fat loss. 

How much fat can I lose by juicing?

Fat loss from juicing varies greatly and depends on individual factors and overall lifestyle. It mainly comes down to being in a constant calorie deficit, which you can achieve through balanced meals – juices included – and workouts. 

Keep in mind that juicing can support weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and exercise, but it doesn't guarantee a specific amount of fat loss.

Which juice burns the most fat?

Juices don’t burn fat per se, but they can help with fat burning as part of a diet and exercise regimen. For instance, green vegetable juices can support weight loss due to their low-calorie content and nutrient density. Such juices can indirectly aid in fat loss when combined with a healthy lifestyle.

Healthy Wellness Shots Recipes to Add Into Your Diet this 2025

We all know the saying: 5 fruits and veggies a day keep the doctor away. However, while studies worldwide affirm this saying, only 7.4% of the US population reported consuming more than two fruits and veggies per day.

Why is this so hard to do even when we know the health benefits? Well, for many of us, it’s either that we lack the time or don’t know how to prepare recipes with the recommended amounts. Wellness shots might just be the solution we need. 

Experts recommend consuming uncooked fruits and vegetables for better absorption of vitamins and nutrients, and having a quick shot packed with all these raw fruits and vegetables makes life easier and your body healthier.

While wellness shots can be found in stores and juice bars, there’s no better way to consume them than homemade. That’s why we’ll show you how to make them at home with a slow juicer and ensure you are getting your daily fruits and veggies.

Do Wellness Shots Work? The Science Behind 

Yes, wellness shots work because they are packed with essential natural ingredients. Common fruits, vegetables, extra condiments you add, and roots – like ginger, fresh turmeric, orange, kale, and broccoli – have proven to maintain a healthy brain and keep energy high.

Due to the concentrated amount of essential nutrients found in a single shot, you get bigger energy boosts and better nutrient absorption.

One of the advantages of a wellness shot is that you can prepare it however you want. Just give your favorite ingredients a good run through your juicer, and drink up. 

Depending on your health goal, there is a recipe for you, especially when you integrate these healthy ingredients below into your mix. 

The Essential Ingredients for Wellness Shots

Wellness shots need key ingredients that make them rich and packed with nutrients, like any type of green, citric fruits, roots, and more.

Depending on your health goal, you can adjust and try different combinations, but these are some of the basics of wellness shots.

Citric Ingredients

Examples: Lemons, oranges, grapefruits, and limes.   

Citric fruits are the go-to source of vitamin C, a strong antioxidant that leads to better immune health function, collagen production, and skin health. These fruits are great in digestive wellness shots: the acidity of citric fruits stimulates digestive enzymes, promoting healthy digestion. Besides, they give you quite an energy boost and are super refreshing. 

Greens

Example: Kale, spinach, broccoli sprouts, wheatgrass, celery.

Greens are packed with vitamins (A, K, folate), minerals (iron, calcium, magnesium), and fiber. They reduce oxidative stress and support the body's natural detoxification processes. Greens can help balance your body's pH levels, and dark greens like kale contain chlorophyll, which is known to help with oxygen transportation in the blood.

Roots Vegetables

Example: Beets, ginger, carrots, turmeric root.

Roots usually support liver health. They give you grounding energy and a wealth of nutrients for various bodily functions.

Other Condiments

Example: Turmeric powder, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, rosemary, black pepper.

In addition to giving a kick of flavor, condiments have therapeutic benefits that make wellness shots more effective. For example, they help your body absorb the powerful nutrients more efficiently.

Best Homemade Wellness Shots Recipes

Now, you can mix and match the ingredients above. You´ll have nutrient-packed wellness shots in a matter of seconds – especially if you’re using a high-quality cold press juicer. However, if you’re looking for specific recipes, these are our favorite ones.

How to Make The Perfect Wellness Shot

While these colorful recipes are our top favorites, that does not mean it all ends right there. One of the amazing things about shots and why we love them is that they are versatile and convenient. You can even improvise and create brand-new recipes with what’s left in your fridge. 

And while there is no “perfect” wellness shot recipe, some tips help you combine flavors like a pro:

  • For freshness: Combine leafy greens like spinach or kale with celery and a touch of cucumber for a hydrating and nutrient-dense shot. 

  • Enhance the “spicy” flavor: Always pair turmeric with a pinch of black pepper powder. The piperine in black pepper significantly enhances the absorption of curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, and it gives it a very interesting kick. 

  • Sweet and tasty: Combining sweet flavors like orange or carrot with cayenne pepper balances out the flavors. 

Hurom: Your Key to Nutrient-Rich Wellness Shots

If you want to go the extra mile and make your shots even tastier and more nutritious, then investing in a slow juicer is a must. 

Hurom juicers utilize a patented slow, cold-press technology called Slow Squeeze. This method gently extracts juice by crushing and pressing ingredients, minimizing heat and oxidation. 

This is crucial for preserving heat-sensitive vitamins, enzymes, and antioxidants, which are often the main compounds in wellness shot ingredients. 

Additionally, Hurom's Slow Squeeze Technology gets even the last drop—efficiently separating the juice from the pulp—crucial when making wellness shots with concentrated flavors.

How to store wellness shots properly

Making batch shots for the whole week is time-saving and convenient. However, you need proper storage to maintain their freshness and keep the nutrients alive. Here's the best way to store your wellness shots.

First, remember to always refrigerate your shots immediately after making them. The cold temperature slows down oxidation and bacterial growth, preserving the nutrients and flavor. Keep the temperature consistently between 34°F  and 40°F for more freshness.

Store them in an airtight container, preferably made of glass, and store in a darker room. The point is to protect the shots from light, which can degrade specific ingredients like vitamin C.

Freshly made wellness shots are best consumed within 72 hours, though cold-press juices can resist in the fridge for up to 7 days. While they may still be safe to drink after this time, the nutrient content and flavor will diminish.

If this is not possible, then freezing might be a better option. Yes, it can also affect the texture and some nutrient content, but it will make them last for months. 

Pro tip: Some ingredients freeze better than others. 

Citrus and ginger shots tend to freeze well, while greens can take a funny taste and texture. We recommend freezing, especially when using organic ingredients, since they tend to have a shorter shelf life and are chemical and preservative-free. 

The main ingredients matter most for preservation. But the right tools and equipment also affect the taste and shelf life of your shots. So now, we would love to share our favorite tools to make the best wellness shots.

The Best Tools for The Perfect Wellness Shot at Home

Let's start with the most important equipment and the star of the show: the juicer. You can make wellness shots with a blender and even a food processor, true; but a juicer will ultimately be the best and easiest way to get a good quality shot. 

For starters, you won’t need to strain your drink. Of course, high-quality juicers have many other benefits.

In the same way coffee lovers invest in a good coffee machine, a healthy enthusiast who loves juice will invest in a Hurom juicer

Hurom H320

For strong and healthy wellness shots, we recommend our H320 juicer because of its low pulp production. It extracts every drop, leaving only dry pulp behind, so all the healthy nutrients stay in your shot. 

Besides, this juicer includes a coarse strainer so you can prepare fiber-full, rich smoothies. Or you can stick to the original strainer to get a more smooth and shot-like liquid consistency.  

Small Shot Container

For batch shot juicing, you can never go wrong with the Hurom Jar Set, which is made with durable BPA-free glass that will maintain the flavor and freshness of your drinks without any unwanted odors. You will be able to store 6-8 shots in this container. 

If you prefer to store your shots individually, then we recommend any high-quality glass bottle containers. 

Wax Towels 

Lastly, beeswax towels will become your best friends, especially since a lot of these recipes call for halves and quarters. Properly storing your ingredients to keep freshness is essential to maintain the quality of your next shot. 

That's why these towels are so amazing; these will make all these ingredients last longer, so you can make a good-as-new shot as if you just cut the ingredients again.  

Common Myths of Wellness Shots

Now you are a wellness shot expert. You know how to make the freshest shots and how to store them properly, as well as the best juicer to make them with: Hurom. 

But to be a genuine expert, you must learn the hidden truths about wellness shots and all the myths surrounding them. Like any other popular healthy practice, people are skeptical about shots. That’s why we’d like to take a moment to go over some of the most common myths surrounding them.

1. Wellness Shots Are Cures.

Yes, wellness shots are fantastic, but like any food, they're not going to solve every problem or cure every illness magically. 

Wellness shots do not need to be seen as a cure but as an aid to your diet and doctor-prescribed medication – a sidekick, if you will.

2. Wellness Shots Can Detoxify Your Body.

Detox shots can support detoxification processes in your body, but they don’t actually do it themselves. 

That’s because they're full of antioxidants and nutrients that regularly support your body's natural cleansing process. 

Your body is already an amazing self-cleaning machine, and these shots give it a little nudge in the right direction. 

3. Wellness Shots Will Make You Lose Weight Fast.

This is probably the biggest myth out there, so let's talk about weight loss. The reality is that there´s no quick fix or easy route to weight loss. Besides, this journey is very different for everybody. 

So the quick answer is no, wellness shots alone do not make you lose weight. Wellness shots increase satiety and energy and have anti-inflammatory properties that assist natural detoxification. All this is essential for weight loss and a well-balanced diet. 

Wrapping It Up

Remember, wellness shots are a fantastic addition to a balanced lifestyle, not a replacement for it. But with the right slow-press juicer and ingredients, they can take you a step closer to the healthy lifestyle you dream of. 

If you're looking to take your homemade shots to the next level, get your Hurom today and feel what true energy tastes like. 

FAQs

How many wellness shots can I take in a day?

One shot per day keeps the doctor away! Since these shots are highly concentrated, it's easy to overdo it. The right amount depends on the ingredients and your tolerance, but one to two shots a day is a good place to start.

Are wellness shots actually good for you?

Yes, especially when homemade. Homemade wellness shots are made with fresh ingredients, and they are a healthy way to get your daily dose of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. 

Do gut shots actually work?

Yes. Gut shots usually contain essential gut-healthy ingredients like ginger, apple cider, and turmeric. These promote a healthy gut microbiome and maintain your general gut health. 

What are the best health shots to take?

The best shot is the one that includes the ingredients your body needs the most. It could be a berry shot or a green shot; some people will prioritize antioxidant and inflammatory properties, while others might need energy-boosting shots.  

What goes in a wellness shot?

Common ingredients for wellness shots include citrus fruits like lemon, orange, and grapefruit for vitamin C. They also tend to contain kale, spinach, and celery for vitamins and minerals. Besides, roots like ginger, turmeric, beets, and carrots are popular additions to a wellness short recipe. 

When to drink wellness shots?

The best time to drink wellness shots will depend on your goals, time of year, and ingredients in season. For energy and to kickstart your metabolism, we recommend drinking them during your morning routine.

After a workout, they help with recovery and muscle repair. And for better digestion, take them after a meal. But if you're focusing on immune health, you can have them anytime.

Best Antioxidant Drinks — Recipes for Juices, Smoothies, and Shots

Oxidative stress, caused by free radicals, speeds up diseases and aging. Antioxidant drinks offer a practical way to combat them. They deliver essential compounds derived from fruits, vegetables, and herbs. 

While juices, smoothies, and concentrated shots contribute to antioxidant intake, their efficacy depends on ingredient selection and preparation. You can take a targeted approach with your antioxidant intake to improve health and fight medical conditions. 

At Hurom, we're dedicated to empowering everyone to maximize their nutritional intake. We’ll share some easy and delicious recipes for antioxidant-rich drinks, so keep reading below!

What Are Antioxidants?

Antioxidants are substances (specifically molecules) that fight free radicals in the body and prevent cellular damage. 

Free radicals are unstable molecules in your body, which are produced naturally or as a result of environmental factors like smoke or radiation. These free radicals stabilize themselves by reacting with healthy cells in your body and damaging them. This is called oxidation. That’s why they’re associated with illnesses like diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. 

However, antioxidants prevent free radicals from doing what they do, i.e., oxidation—hence the name. Vegetables, fruits, and whole grains are naturally antioxidant-rich foods. Even some vitamins like C and E have antioxidant properties. 

There are many types of antioxidants, and they work in different ways on the body. Some may have specific benefits like protecting particular systems and organs. 

That brings us to the next point:

Benefits of Antioxidants

A well-balanced diet with fruits and vegetables can give you enough antioxidants daily. While their main job is preventing cell damage, that work translates into many health benefits:

  • Lower the risk of disease: Antioxidants can lower the risk of certain life-threatening diseases caused by oxidative stress. Some people are more prone to such illnesses than others, due to genetics or lifestyle choices. As such, making better lifestyle choices can help. 

  • Anti-aging effect: Cellular damage from oxidative stress is often responsible for cognitive and physical aging in humans—poor memory, loose skin, hair loss, etc. Antioxidants slow down the effects of aging by balancing the free radicals. 

  • Improve eye health: Certain compounds, like lutein and zeaxanthin, are crucial for maintaining healthy vision and may help prevent age-related macular degeneration and cataracts.

  • Slows cognitive decline: These chemicals can protect brain cells from oxidative damage, potentially reducing the risk of cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.

Do Juices Preserve the Natural Antioxidants?

Juices can preserve the antioxidants in the ingredients, depending on the process of juicing and storage temperature. 

Juicing provides a quick and easy way to get beneficial antioxidants. If you mix different fruits and veggies with a high antioxidant power, you can benefit from more different compounds. However, the content and activity of the substances may decrease due to the juicing process and environmental factors. 

There’s strong evidence that heat impacts the antioxidants found in fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Traditional juicers that use the centrifugal method tend to produce heat, which can destroy some nutrients, particularly flavonoids and polyphenols. 

Slow or masticating juicers, on the other hand, don’t involve any heating, so they’re able to preserve the antioxidants in each glass of juice. 

Storage also affects the activity and quality of the antioxidants. If you don’t consume the juice when it’s made, refrigerate it to ensure the nutrients aren’t damaged. Cold-pressed juice can last up to three days in the fridge. After this time, the antioxidant activity may start to reduce and the juice will begin to go bad. Basically, you should not consume the juice after 72 hours if it hasn't been pasteurized.  

Hurom’s slow juicers help preserve all the nutrients in fruits and vegetables, so you get all the antioxidants they contain. The slow-moving auger in our juicers doesn’t produce any heat, which helps preserve the temperature-sensitive antioxidants like vitamins and polyphenols. 

As such, you can notice the effects faster.

But what are the best antioxidant drinks? That leads us to the following section.

Best Antioxidant Drinks

The good news is that there are many antioxidant drinks to choose from, mainly juices, that can provide you with various health benefits. Here are all the antioxidant-rich juices, smoothies, teas, and other drinks you should try to incorporate in your diet. 

Antioxidant Juice Recipes

Juices are your best option if you want to get a fast influx of antioxidants because they’re easy to digest. Of course, you’ll need a high-quality juicer to keep all the nutrients intact.

1. Super Antioxidant Juice (Booster for Health)

This juice uses beetroot, orange, carrots, and apples, with ginger (which has been used for medical and health benefits for centuries). 

Beetroot contains betalains, powerful antioxidants that help detoxify the liver and reduce inflammation. Oranges are rich in vitamin C, which boosts the immune function. Apples provide quercetin, a flavonoid that supports cardiovascular health and reduces inflammation. Carrots are loaded with beta-carotene, which promotes eye health and protects against cellular damage. 

Put simply, this juice is an antioxidant booster everyone needs in their life!

Here’s how you make it using your Hurom juicer:

Ingredients: 

  • 1 beetroot, trimmed and cut

  • 1 orange, peeled

  • 2 carrots, peeled

  • 2 green apples, cored

  • Small piece of ginger, peeled

  • ½ cup cold water (optional, if you like your juice more watery)

Instructions:

  1. Clean and prepare all the ingredients. 

  2. Add them to the Hurom juicer hopper.

  3. Press the button and extract the juice. 

2. Antioxidant Green Juice (Great for Disease Prevention)

Green juices may be popular for detox and weight loss, but are also chock full of antioxidants. This green juice uses kale, which is rich in beta carotene, and broccoli, which contains sulforaphane (anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties). And don’t worry, it will taste nice and sweet, as it includes pineapple and pears (rich in vitamin C). If you want lower sugar content, skip one of the fruits.

Here’s the easy recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups broccoli florets

  • 1 cup kale

  • 1 cup pineapple, fresh or canned

  • 1 cup pears

Instructions:

  1. Chop broccoli and kale into smaller pieces.

Here’s another great green juice recipe:

3. Carrot and Orange Juice (Best for Skin and Eye Health)

If you’re looking for antioxidant drinks that give your skin the glow it deserves, carrots and oranges have your back. Carrots provide beta-carotene, which is a precursor for vitamin A. This precious vitamin has an anti-aging effect on the skin and supports vision. The orange juice adds to the vitamin C content, another vital antioxidant compound for preventing cell damage. Besides, turmeric and ginger add more phenolic compounds to the mix. 

Ingredients:

  • 2 carrots

  • 1 orange, peeled

  • ½ inch turmeric root

  • 1-inch ginger

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the ingredients

  2. Add them to the hopper of your Hurom juicer.

  3. Juice the ingredients and serve chilled. 

4. Pomegranate Power Juice (Best for Cognitive Health)

Pomegranates are rich in punicalagins and anthocyanins. These compounds give these fruits their intense red color, but they also have lots of health benefits. For example, they may help improve memory and cognitive function. Many nutritionists recommend to folks at risk of cognitive conditions to drink pomegranate juice regularly. 

Ingredients:

  • 5 cups pomegranate seeds

Instructions:

  1. Add the pomegranate seeds into the hopper.

  2. Run the juicer and extract. 

5. Beetroot Revitalizer (Great for Liver and Heart)

The betalains in beets help detoxify the liver and improve circulation. Research confirms the betalains are health powerhouses. These support liver detoxification and improve blood flow, besides being anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-diabetic. While beets are the hero of this juice recipe, there’s also apple for sweetness and ginger for more antioxidants. 

Ingredients:

  • 1 beetroot

  • 1 apple, pitted

  • ½ lemon juice (optional)

  • 1-inch ginger piece

Instructions:

  1. Prepare and add all the ingredients to the juicer. 

  2. Extract the juice.

6. Watermelon Hydration Juice (Protects from UV Damage)

Watermelon is an excellent source of lycopene, which reduces the risk of heart diseases and regulates blood pressure. But there’s another notable benefit, which may come in handy in sunny, hot summers. It protects against UV damage, specifically from UV-B rays. It can also play a corrective role for already induced damage. Drink this juice plenty if you go out in the sun frequently. 

Ingredients:

  • 4 mint leaves

Instructions:

  1. Add all ingredients to your Hurom juicer or blender.

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups fresh cranberries

Instructions:

  1. Blend all ingredients.

  2. Strain if needed.

  3. Serve immediately.

8. Cherry Juice (Best for Muscle Recovery)

Ingredients:

  • 5 cups cherries without seeds

  • ½ cup coconut water (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Add cherries to the hopper of your Hurom Juicer. 

  2. Add in coconut water if you prefer. 

  3. Juice the cherries and drink chilled. 

9. Cucumber-Aloe Refresh Juice (Great for Digestion and Hydration)

Ingredients:

  • 3 cucumbers

  • ½ cup aloe vera or its juice

  • ½ lemon

Instructions:

  1. Add ingredients to the hopper.

  2. Turn on the juicer and extract.

  • 4 apples (any variety)

  • 2-inch ginger piece

Instructions:

  1. Chop apples and ginger into smaller pieces.

  2. Add to your Hurom juicer.

The massive advantage is that you save kitchen space because you’re not purchasing two separate appliances.

So, let’s look at some of the recipes you can try.

Cold-pressed juice, in particular, has many health benefits. That’s simply because it doesn’t oxidize the crucial vitamins, antioxidants, and enzymes in fruits and vegetables like centrifugal juicers do. And all those micronutrients are essential for fighting common illnesses like colds and flu.

Just watch the video below to see the difference with your own eyes:

Remember: Juices are helpful when sick, but you may need additional treatment, especially for serious illnesses requiring medical intervention. 

It’s always a good idea to see a doctor, especially if you’ve been sick for several days and don’t seem to be getting better. 

You can target common illnesses with both diet and medication, so discuss your options with your healthcare provider. 

7 Best Juices To Drink When Sick

All juices provide nutritional benefits, but some are particularly good at treating certain symptoms. Here’s the best juice to drink when sick (labeled by the condition to make things easy):

1. Orange and Other Citrus Juices: Best for Cold and Flu

The good old OJ and other citrus juices are chock full of vitamin C, which is important for your immune health. 

A vitamin C deficiency may lead to weak immunity, making you an easy victim of infections like the common cold or flu. 

However, vitamin C may also help fight infections after you catch them. It proliferates T- and B-cells—the good guys that fight infections. 

Vitamin C also helps prevent and treat respiratory infections, as confirmed by several studies.

You can easily get your daily recommended vitamin C intake from a glass of orange juice. 

Try Hurom’s Apple Orange juice recipe for your vitamin C fix! You need just one apple and one orange.

Key nutrients: 

  • Vitamin C

  • Vitamin A

  • Vitamin B6

  • Folate

  • Potassium

Calories:

110-112 kcal per serving (8-ounce cup)

2. Ginger and Lemon Juice (with Honey): Best for Sore Throat

You don’t fully understand the gift of health until you get a sore throat. Having a sore throat can essentially impact your entire body – and even your mood. 

Ginger and lemon have been the natural remedy for throat infections for ages, and rightly so. 

Lemon, of course, has vitamin C, which is a powerful antioxidant. Ginger, on the other hand, has gingerol, which is another potent antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties. Compounds like gingerol may reduce the swelling and irritation in the throat caused by the infection. 

Adding honey to ginger and lemon juice amplifies the benefits. Honey has natural antimicrobial properties, meaning it fights germs and viruses. The flavonoids and polyphenols (antioxidants) in honey also help fight inflammation. 

Although these juices and honey may not cure the sore throat, they will relieve the pain and irritation. You may still need antibiotics to treat the underlying infection if your doctor determines that’s the case. 

Also, ginger and lemon juice can be strong, so you might want to dilute it with lukewarm water.

Ingredients:

  • 5–6 medium lemons → yields about ¾ cup (180 ml) of lemon juice

  • 1-inch piece of fresh ginger (about 10g), peeled and juiced

  • 1 tsp honey (adjust to taste)

  • Optional: A pinch of cayenne pepper for extra throat relief

Key nutrients:

  • Vitamin C

  • Gingerol

  • Shogaols

  • B vitamins

Calories:

  • 20-50 kcal from ginger

  • 3 kcal per tablespoon of lemon juice 

  • 21 kcal in one teaspoon of honey

3. Tomato Juice: Best for Inflammation

If you suffer from an illness that causes inflammation, you may want to add tomato juice to your diet. 

Tomatoes contain several such nutrients that have well-researched anti-inflammatory effects. That includes vitamin B9 (folate) and magnesium, which help fight inflammation.

But the star of tomato juice is a compound called lycopene. It’s a powerful antioxidant that reduces the risk of life-threatening illnesses like heart disease and cancer. It has been studied extensively for its various health impacts and benefits. 

Tomato juice will also improve your overall immunity with its various minerals and vitamins. 

Inflammation is your body’s response to injury and infection, but it can also occur without an infection or injury when you have an auto-immune condition. Regardless of the source of inflammation, tomato juice may help treat it. 

Research has explored the effects of tomato juice on inflammation. For instance, a 2013 study found that tomato juice reduced the markers of inflammation in obese women. 

Ingredients:

  • 1 kg of tomatoes for 800 ml of juice 

Key nutrients:

  • Vitamin A

  • Vitamin B6

  • Vitamin B9

  • Magnesium

  • Potassium

  • Lycopene

Calories:

4. Carrot Juice: Best for Immune Support

Carrot juice is a powerhouse of health benefits. For instance, carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which, when ingested, converts into vitamin A. Vitamin A helps maintain healthy vision and improves immune function.

Research suggests that carrots can modulate the immune system by regulating key disease-fighting white blood cells such as leukocytes. To quote the review: 

“The immunomodulatory activity makes carrots a functional food source that has the potential to prevent and treat various diseases.” (Gemala Anjani, Fitriyono Ayustaningwarno, Rafika Eviana, Critical review on the immunomodulatory activities of carrot’s β-carotene and other bioactive compounds)

If you’re someone with weak immunity and you get sick frequently, adding carrot juice to your diet may help boost immunity. It may also help when you’re down with a sickness. 

Regular consumption of carrot juice may promote eye health, boost immunity, improve skin complexion, and contribute to your cardiovascular well-being. 

Additionally, the soluble fiber content, though less than in whole carrots, can aid digestion.

You can also combine apples, carrots, and cabbage to give the juice a vitamin C boost. Star NFL player Nick Bosa drinks this same recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 1 head cabbage

  • 2 large carrots

  • 2 apples

Key nutrients:

  • Vitamin A

  • B vitamins

  • Vitamin K

  • Magnesium

  • Potassium

5. Watermelon Mint: Best for Dehydration

Watermelons have a heavy water content. Plus, they’re delicious. If you’re feeling dehydrated due to sickness, drink a glass of watermelon juice with a pinch of mint for freshness. 

This juice won’t just make you feel refreshed and hydrated; it may also boost immunity. Watermelons contain arginine, which positively impacts your body’s immune system. 

Mint has a positive effect on brain function as it may increase alertness. So, if you’re facing brain fog when you’re sick, this juice with the punch of mint may just help your brain be more present. 

Watermelons are also rich in lycopene. If you don’t like tomato juice, watermelon juice is a great alternative. 

You can add other fruits or herbs to your watermelon mint juice, especially if you’re using a slow juicer. Consider adding apples or oranges to boost vitamin C. 

Ingredients (for one glass - 250 ml / 8 oz)

  • 350g fresh watermelon (yields ~280g juice, close to 250 ml)

  • 5-6 fresh mint leaves

  • Optional: ¼ lime, juiced (for a zesty kick)

Key nutrients:

  • Vitamin C

  • Potassium

  • Vitamin A

  • Vitamin B5

6. Kale, Celery, Green Apple, and Spinach (Green Juice): Quick Immunity Boost

Green juices aren’t just great for detox and weight loss—they can also boost immunity with many vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants

This green juice with kale, celery, spinach, and green apples leans heavily on leafy green vegetables. These vegetables contain vitamins A, C, and K.

More importantly, leafy vegetables are rich in antioxidants that help fight free radicals, which cause cellular damage. 

The high chlorophyll concentration in green juices also supports detoxification. The reason is that they help remove toxins that can weaken the immune system. 

Regularly consuming green juice may increase the body's ability to fight off infections, reduce inflammation, and promote overall well-being. 

Slow-juicing green veggies is the best way to get the most nutrients, especially vitamins. With just a cup or two of this green juice, you can get the nutritional benefits of several different vegetables. 

Ingredients (for one glass - 250 ml / 8 oz)

  • 1 medium green apple (200g) → yields ~160g juice

  • 2 celery stalks (100g) → yields ~80g juice

  • 1 cup fresh spinach (30g) → yields ~20g juice

  • 1 cup kale leaves (50g) → yields ~40g juice

Key nutrients:

  • Vitamin A

  • Vitamin K

  • Vitamin C

  • Vitamin B6

  • Calcium

  • Magnesium

Calories:

  • Kale (1 cup, chopped): 8 calories

  • Celery (2 stalks): 10 calories

  • Spinach (1 cup, raw): 7 calories

  • Green apple (1 medium, 200g): 95 calories

  • Total:120 calories

7. Beetroot Juice: Energy Booster

Sickness typically comes with fatigue, which can hamper your productivity and mood. Try beetroot juice if you’re feeling fatigued and want an instant kick of energy. 

Beetroot juice is a natural energy source, primarily due to its high nitrate content. These nitrates are converted into nitric oxide in the body, which helps dilate blood vessels, improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscles. And better oxygenation translates to more endurance and less tiredness. 

That’s also the reason why beetroot juice is considered a great pre-workout. 

The natural sugars in beetroot also provide a quick and sustained energy source, especially if you’re consuming fresh homemade beetroot juice. 

Beetroots are also rich in antioxidants and essential nutrients like iron and folate. These nutrients support overall cellular function and red blood cell production. 

Ingredients:

  • 1kg of beetroot for simple beetroot juice

Key nutrients:

  • Vitamin B9

  • Manganese

  • Iron

  • Potassium

  • Vitamin C

Calories:

Should You Drink Store-Bought or Fresh Juice When Sick?

Fresh juice is decidedly better than store-bought juice, whether you’re sick or not. That’s because fresh juice doesn’t contain added sugars and preservatives. 

When you’re sick, you may think that drinking packaged juice is the more convenient option. You might not have the energy or mood to prepare the ingredients and produce the juice at home.

However, Hurom juicers make everything incredibly easy, and you’ll know exactly what goes into your juice. See for yourself:

So, if you want to get the most nutrients from the fruits and vegetables for immunity and relief from your symptoms, consider slow juicing it. 

Hurom juicers make it incredibly easy to make cold-pressed juice with minimal to no preparation. The large chute capacity and intake on most Hurom slow juicers means you can put in the fruits and vegetables whole without needing to cut them. That reduces the prep time and effort. You can do it even if you’re under the weather. 

Besides, Hurom juicers are all easy to clean.

As such, you avoid consuming store-bought juice with lots of added sugars and possibly other dangerous ingredients. 

Tips to Improve Immunity with Fresh Juices

Fruits, vegetables, and herbs are helpful defenses against common illnesses. Here’s how you can juice them to improve your immunity and live a healthy life: 

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh produce is healthier and better. They taste great and provide all the necessary nutrients, especially when cold-pressed. 

  • Add immunity-boosting superfoods like honey, turmeric, and chia seeds: Get more health and immunity benefits from your fresh juice with superfoods. Honey and turmeric, for example, are particularly good against inflammation. 

  • Balance sugar intake by adding some veggies: Don’t just stick to fruits for juice, as the sugar content can be high. Add some veggies and herbs to balance the natural sugars, especially if you have high blood sugar levels. 

  • Incorporate probiotic ingredients (i.e., kefir, yogurt) for digestive problems: If you’re experiencing digestive stress and issues with your gut, try adding probiotics to your juices. 

  • Make juice in batches: One cup won’t do the trick when you’re sick. You’ll need to keep drinking the juice regularly to get the benefits. Consider batch juicing to save time. 

Feel Better with a Cold-Pressed Juice

The best juice to drink when sick depends on your symptoms. While they may not cure you completely, they will help you regain your strength, boost your immunity, and improve your mood. 

The whole point of juicing when sick is getting the right nutrients from the right ingredients. And the best immunity juice is a cold-pressed juice. The nutrients don’t get lost during juicing, so you get the optimal amount with every sip. 

Hurom makes slow juicing convenient with its innovative yet simple design. You can make cold-pressed juice right at home to help you feel better and fight your symptoms.

FAQs

Is orange juice good to drink when sick?

Orange juice is highly recommended to drink when sick because of its high concentration of vitamin C. This vitamin can boost the body’s immune cells, which helps fight infections. 

100% pure orange juice can be helpful when you have the flu or cold symptoms. 

Can you drink apple juice when sick?

You can drink apple juice when you’re sick, especially if you’re dehydrated. Apple juice also has disease prevention and fighting properties, thanks to its nutritional profile. Besides, it can provide quick energy thanks to its natural sugars. 

However, avoid store-bought varieties with added sugars. Since apple juice is a bit acidic, you may want to dilute it if you have an upset stomach. 

What not to drink when sick?

When sick, avoid caffeinated beverages, such as coffee and energy drinks, as they can dehydrate you. 

Sugary sodas and artificially sweetened beverages can weaken your immune system and cause inflammation. 

Also, avoid any and all alcohol. It can suppress immune function and lead to dehydration.

Instead, opt for water, herbal teas, or natural juices with no added sugars.

Which juice is best for fever?

Citrus fruits like orange or grapefruit juice can help with fever due to their vitamin C content and hydration benefits. 

Coconut water or diluted pomegranate juice are also great because they replenish electrolytes lost through sweating. 

Watermelon juice is another good option. It’s refreshing, hydrating, and easy on the stomach. 

Which juice gives instant energy?

Most fruit juices provide instant energy because of their natural sugars, but beetroot juice, in particular, is best for getting an energy kick. That’s because it’s high in nitrates, which increase blood circulation and oxygenation.

How to Make Soy Milk That’s Creamier, Healthier, and Preservative-Free

Milk is a central part of any family diet; you use it for coffee, smoothies, creams, and many recipes, and for this reason, it can get boring really fast. 

Give your diet and your daily routine a twist with this milk variation that will completely transform the flavor of your food in a more fun and healthy way. 

Here, we show you how to make soy milk from scratch with a slow juicer. And we guarantee you it is easier than it sounds!

The Advantages of Making Soy Milk at Home

Soy milk is quite popular, and it can be found pretty much in any store, so why would you trouble yourself by making your own milk?

Making your own soy milk at home will save you money in the long run, is free of additives and chemicals, and it's also way easier to make than you think. 

It requires just a few steps, and we promise you that the flavor and nutritional content of this homemade milk is something you can't get from store-bought soy milk cartons.

When you make it at home, you're in complete control of what you put into your body. You just need soybeans and water (and maybe a touch of natural sweetener if you like.)

Why Soy Milk?

Sure, almond, cashew, and oat milk are also good alternatives, and we encourage you to incorporate them into your diet, but soy milk is a nutritional powerhouse!

Soy is a good plant-based protein, essential for building and repairing tissues. It's also naturally low in saturated fat and cholesterol-free, making it a heart-healthy choice for an everyday beverage. Plus, soy contains essential vitamins and minerals like calcium, iron, and potassium.  

And we can’t forget the cost! A bag of soybeans is pretty affordable, and it goes a long way. You'll be amazed at how much milk you can produce for a fraction of the store-bought price. 

So, what is the fastest, easiest way to make the most nutritious soy milk? Do you need a special machine? 

We’ll discuss that below.

Can I Use a Slow Juicer to Make Soy Milk? Juicer vs. Blender

A blender can be good for making soy milk at home, but a slow juicer will be a game changer.

So, let’s start from the beginning: what is a slow juicer, and how does it differentiate from a regular blend? The key difference lies in how they process ingredients. A blender chops and blends everything into a puree, while a slow juicer uses cold press technology to extract liquid, separating the juice from the pulp. 

This method has several benefits; for starters, the juicer mimics hand squeezing (that’s why they are commonly known as slow juicers), preventing the heat of regular speed-blades from oxidizing the food.  As such, the press retains most, if not all, of the nutrients from your produce. 

A slow juicer from Hurom makes the milk even more nutritious and takes less time, and you don’t even have to soak the soybeans beforehand. 

Besides, you can make much more than soy milk with a Hurom juicer: juices, other nut milk, and even ice creams or soups. This way, you are getting much more than a milk maker

Lastly, it is worth mentioning that Hurom´s juicers are designed to last decades. They have 15-year warranties, so in the long run, they are worth every penny. 

Don’t have a juicer yet? Don’t worry; we will go over both the blender and juicer step by step, so you can see which one’s easier. 

Let’s dive into the full homemade soy milk recipe.

Soy Milk Ingredients 

This is the list of Ingredients for approximately ½  gallon of soy milk 

  • 2 cups of dry soybeans

  • 4 cups of fresh water

  • Optional sweeteners or flavorings (vanilla, dates, cinnamon, syrups, or Stevia)

Equipment

  • Slow juicer or blender- See recommendations 

  • Cheesecloth (optional if you are using a juicer)

  • Bowl or glass milk jar for collecting the milk

How to Make Soy Milk at Home: Slow Juicer Recipe (7-18 Minutes)

This is the fastest and easiest way to make soymilk.

1. Prepare the soybeans: 2 minutes

Usually, when making any soy recipe, you would need to soak your beans for at least 8 hours and preferably overnight, which is just a pain! 

When you use a Hurom slow juicer, prep time is reduced to only a few minutes since soaking is no longer necessary. 

So, the first step is to rinse your soybeans to give them a good clean and transfer them to an easy-to-pour container.

2. Juice the soybeans: 5 minutes

Turn on your Hurom and slowly add the soybeans in batches, always adding a little bit of water with every batch.

Continue until all soybeans and cups of water are used. Open the juice chamber to release the milk and make space for more soybeans.  

Note: you might need additional water if it is too thick.

3. Flavoring your soy milk (Optional): under 1 minute

If you like sweetened milk, this is the perfect time to add a touch of sweetness or spice. 

You can mix in cinnamon, vanilla, a dash of nutmeg for warmth, or even a natural sweetener like honey. If you prefer a more neutral taste, you can keep it simple and enjoy it as is. 

Keep in mind that you can also add flavors and sweetness in the last step: the simmering phase.

4. Drain through a cheesecloth (optional): 5 minutes

At this point, your milk is ready to be drunk. However, depending on the type of slow juicer you use, the beverage may be grainy and with pulp residue. 

This is good as it is, especially if you like a chunkier, thicker soy milk that’s also great for cooking. However, if you want smooth milk similar to the store-bought ones, this is the time to use a cheesecloth to drain it and remove any residue. 

Don’t throw away the pulp from the container – you can use it later for other recipes

5. Simmer the milk (optional): 5 minutes

Once your plain soy milk is drained, you can consume it as it is: raw soy milk. This being said, you can boil it to combine the flavors and preserve it for a longer time. 

Here’s how you do that:

Transfer it to a pot and let it simmer on medium-high heat. This is also the perfect time to further flavor your milk with cinnamon, vanilla bean, or Stevia.

 

How to Make Soy Milk With a Blender (8+ hours)

Now, let’s see the blender soy milk recipe. While it also has 5 steps, the first one takes longer:

1. Soak your soybeans overnight 

Start by rinsing your soybeans to make sure they are clean, then transfer them to a large bowl and cover with cold water. Use a plastic film or lid to seal them and let them soak for 8 hours or overnight. 

2. Blend soybeans

Once you have your soybeans soaked, add them to the blender with the water and turn it on high for 2-3 minutes or until everything gets integrated. 

3. Flavor your soy milk (Optional)

Now, you can add fruits and nuts to flavor your soy-based smoothie. Good ingredients you can use are dates, bananas, and almonds. 

Keep in mind that you can also add flavors and sweetness in the simmering phase. 

4. Drain with a cheesecloth 

We are almost ready; use a cheesecloth to drain your milk and remove all the soybean residue. Unlike when using a juicer, this step is no longer optional here. 

That’s because a blender doesn’t separate the pulp from the liquid like a juicer does—you’ll end up with a thick, gritty texture if you skip this step. Besides, it will also take longer because the blended mixture is denser, and manually straining out the solids requires extra time and effort to achieve a smooth consistency.

Separate the pulp and reserve, and remember that you can reuse that pulp later for other recipes. 

5. Simmer the milk 

Lastly, transfer the soy milk to a medium-heat pot and let it simmer. This will help preserve the milk better and integrate the flavors. 

This is also the perfect time to further flavor your milk with the spices you like best. 

How to Store Your Soy Milk?

Now that you have your finished milk, how do you keep it fresh for longer? Proper storage is key to maintaining its flavor and nutritional value.

Soymilk Recommended Storage

The best place to store your homemade soy milk is in the refrigerator. Use an airtight container, preferably glass.  

This will help prevent the soy milk from absorbing any odors from other foods. Fill the container as much as possible to prevent air exposure.

Homemade soy milk typically lasts up to 6 days in the refrigerator.  While you can freeze your milk, we do not recommend it since texture and flavor can change. 

If you still have some leftover milk and you are worried it might go bad, then this bonus recipe is the perfect solution for you. 

How To Make Tofu From Soy Milk

Making homemade tofu from scratch is easy enough with a Hurom. However, if you already prepared the soy milk, it becomes even easier. 

You’ll just need to heat your milk again and add a coagulant (like gypsum and nigari). Let it boil, and add your mix to a Hurom’s tofu press

Follow the steps in the video, and don’t let your milk go to waste!

What Can I Do With the Leftover Pulp? Okara Magic

Ok, now let’s talk leftovers! Nobody likes to waste food, and making soy milk often leaves us with a large amount of Okara (AKA soybean pulp). 

Okara is packed with fiber, protein, and other beneficial nutrients, and it can be used in a surprising number of ways. It is a good source of plant-based protein, making it a valuable addition to vegetarian and vegan diets. 

Okara is relatively low in calories so you can also use it to make healthy snacks to complement your weight loss journey or to increase your fiber intake. 

Follow these two innovative recipes and add Okara to create a delicious take on these beloved foods.  

Store okara-based foods in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 days. You can also freeze it for longer storage.

FAQs

What to do if the soy milk is too thick?

If your soy milk is too thick, it's usually due to a higher concentration of soybeans. To fix it, add water to your milk while on the stove. Stir well since it typically takes a few seconds for the water to fully integrate with the milk. 

What do I do if the soy and the water separate? 

Since homemade milk doesn't contain the emulsifiers and chemicals found in commercial brands, separation is more likely to happen. Don’t worry; just keep mixing for a few seconds to integrate again. 

 How to make soy milk taste better?

If you want a sweeter flavor, you can add fruit to your slow juicer. Or, add honey, maple syrup, cinnamon, or vanilla extract while the milk simmers on the stove. 

How to make soy milk from tofu?

We recommend always making milk from soybeans; however, you can use tofu. Add it to your Hurom with a little bit of water, and start juicing away. Add water in small amounts until reaching the desired texture. 

Keep in mind that the texture, flavor, and shelf life will differ from traditional soy milk, as tofu contains additional ingredients that can affect the final result.

Carrot Juice Guide: Benefits, Methods & 5 Must-Try Recipes

    Drinking carrot juice can transform your daily nutrition in ways you might not expect. While most of us know carrots support healthy vision, fresh carrot juice has a wider range of benefits. From strengthening your immune system to giving your skin a natural glow, this vitamin-rich drink has earned its place in kitchens worldwide. 

    This guide helps you get started.

    We break down everything you need to know about making and enjoying carrot juice, complete with methods that work for every lifestyle.

    Let’s dive in.

    Health Benefits of Carrot Juice: Helps More Than Just Your Vision

    There are several effects of carrot juice you can’t miss. One single glass of this juice:  

    1. Has plenty of nutrients: Just one cup of carrot juice offers 94 calories, 2 grams of protein, 22 grams of carbs, and 251% of daily Vitamin A intake. 

    2. Improves immunity: Vitamins A and C are antioxidants. They can save your cells from free radicals and reduce oxidative stress in the body. Carrot juice is an excellent source of these essential nutrients. In addition, Vitamin B6 found in carrot juice benefits your immune system. 

    3. Protects you from cancer: Beta carotene, lutein, and polyacetylenes in carrot juice may help your body attack cancer cells. 

    4. Helps manage blood sugar: Carrot juice has a low glycemic index, which is great for keeping your sugar level in check. Besides, purple carrots contain anthocyanin pigments with anti-inflammatory benefits that assist blood sugar management. 

    5. Strengthens your heart: Potassium, found in carrot juice, protects you from heart diseases because it keeps your blood pressure low. Carrot juice is also rich in antioxidants, as we explained above. These antioxidants have been specifically associated with better heart health.  

    6. Protects liver: One of the benefits of carrot juice is linked to liver health. The carotenoids found in this juice may decrease the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). While there are currently only animal studies to ascertain this, it is true that increasing your intake of vegetables, including carrots, can support overall liver health. Carrot juice also contains soluble fiber and other nutrients that promote better digestion, indirectly benefiting the liver by reducing its workload. Including more nutrient-dense, plant-based foods in your diet can further improve liver function and reduce the risk of metabolic disorders associated with NAFLD.

    Pro tip: You can get all of these benefits and more by following this simple Hurom carrot juice recipe. You need just a few minutes to prepare it.

    Is carrot juice good for eyesight?

    Even the simplest carrot juice recipe can help protect your eyes. This root vegetable is a rich source of vitamin A, which is essential for eye health. Many studies have discovered that carrots directly decrease the risk of eye diseases linked to age.

    Is carrot juice good for hair growth? 

    Yes, beta-carotene, Vitamin A, and many antioxidants in carrot juice help hair growth. Here’s how it works: 

    The human body uses beta-carotene to make more Vitamin A, which is then used to regulate sebum production. Sebum is like an oil that moistures your scalp and maintains healthy hair follicles. A well-hydrated scalp reduces dryness, flaking, and irritation, which can create a better environment for hair growth.

    Is carrot juice good for weight loss? 

    One of the benefits of drinking carrot juice is linked to weight loss. First of all, carrots are high in fiber but low in calories, which is ideal when trying to lose weight. Besides, carrot juice is naturally sweet, so it can satisfy sugar cravings in a healthier way than sugary drinks.  Basically, fewer cravings mean easier weight loss efforts.

    Is carrot juice good for pregnancy? 

    Due to Vitamins A and B, minerals, and magnesium, carrot juice is recommended to pregnant women during all trimesters. For example, vitamin A helps the fetus’ teeth and bone development. For moms, vitamin B gives you more energy, alleviates pregnancy symptoms, and reduces the risk of birth defects.

    How Much Carrot Juice is Safe to Drink Daily?

    Adults should consume up to two glasses of carrot juice per day, according to multiple studies researching this juice’s benefits. 

    On the other hand, adults are advised to drink just 4 ounces of carrot juice per day, according to WebMD. That’s about half a glass.

    We advise you to drink juice in moderation. Most studies show that 1-2 glasses of any vegetable or fruit juice per day are perfectly fine, but don’t overdo it.

    Too much carrot juice can cause carotenemia. This is a temporary condition during which your skin will become yellow or even orange. This occurs due to high levels of beta-carotene you have in the blood when you drink too much juice. 

    This also means that children should consume carrot juice in even smaller amounts. Here are the specifics:

    • Children 1-3 years: Up to ½ cup 

    • Children 4-6 years: Up to ¾ cup

    • 6+ and teenagers: 1 cup

    Common Mistakes To Avoid When Preparing Carrot Juice At Home 

    When making carrot juice at home, mistakes can happen. Avoid them to make more delicious and healthier juice in less time. 

    Here’s what to steer clear of:

    Not washing the carrots

    Pesticides and other chemicals might be on those carrots. Wash them well before you peel them! If you just peel them, some of those chemicals may remain on the carrots. 

    Leaving the juice at room temperature for too long 

    Oxidation will break the nutrients and vitamins in the carrot juice if left for too long on the table. This is why carrot juice will change its color if left at room temperature for a long. 

    If you won’t drink it immediately, store your carrot juice in an airtight container and put it in the fridge. 

    Pro tip: We’ll give you more juice storage advice in a second.

    Drink your carrot juice slowly. It will help you with digestion, and you can enjoy it for much longer. 

    Making too much carrot juice

    If you make too much carrot juice and don’t drink it or batch it correctly, it will lose its health properties and taste. It’s always best to avoid food waste. 

    Pro tip: The Hurom H400 Easy Clean Slow Juicer is great for preparing juice in batches. 

    Prepare The Ultimate Carrot Juice: Essential Tips

    Whether you’re making ordinary or Jamaican carrot juice, these tips will help you. After all, you want delicious and healthy juice every single time. Try these when making cabbage carrot juice or other carrot juice recipes, and you will see the difference. 

    Use smaller carrots

    Smaller carrots are more delicious and usually have a sweeter flavor. Using them makes your carrot juice taste better. Yes, it takes more time to make juice from smaller carrots (if you have a centrifugal juicer), but this tip works better than you may think.

    However, Hurom juicers have large hoppers, so you can simply add more of these small carrots at once.

    Try adding additional ingredients

    If you want to experiment and try different recipes, go for it. Adding apples, celery, or mandarin can make a huge difference. 

    Use organic carrots

    The differences are not massive, but organic carrot juice has a lower risk of chemicals and pesticides. You need this if you want your juice to be healthier.

    Use a quality juicer

    Low-quality juicers don’t extract all the juice from carrots. Besides, making carrot juice with a blender or grater simply means you’ll need to add water, which makes your juice “weak” and diluted. 

    How You Should Store Your Fresh Carrot Juice 

    To get the health benefits of carrot juice even after you just made it, you need to know how to store it. Using airtight containers is mandatory. You cannot store fresh carrot juice in a glass or a bowl, or it will oxidize.

    Pro tip: Read these awesome juice storage tips to keep your carrot juice fresh for longer.

    This airtight container should ideally be made from glass. Place it in the fridge and,  ideally, consume the juice within 24-72 hours if you’re using a cold-press juicer. Juice made with centrifugal juicers oxidizes faster, so it doesn’t stay fresh as long. However, you can keep the juice in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. After that time frame, the health benefits of your juice will start to decline.

    The Final Word 

    Making and enjoying carrot juice is something all of us should do more of. The reasons are obvious: it’s a delicious beverage that offers numerous health benefits to all of us. And the fact that you can try different recipes is also why so many people love carrot juice. Try it and become one of them. 

    However, you need the right juicer for carrots, so take our juicer quiz and see what fits!

    FAQ 

    Can I drink carrot juice every single day?

    Yes, you can drink carrot juice every single day in moderation. Adults can consume up to 2 glasses of this juice per day. The amount is smaller for children. 

    What fruit will be the perfect addition to carrot juice?

    There are many options available. Some great examples include oranges, apples, pineapple, and many more. Try to see which one tastes better. Or, consider the health benefits these fruits have.

    How many carrots do I need for one cup of carrot juice? 

    In general, you need 10-11 carrots to make one glass of juice. But this depends on the size of the carrots and the juicer you own. With Hurom juicers, for example, you can make 30-50% more juice from the same amount of produce.

    Does carrot juice detoxify the body?

    Carrot juice contains antioxidants like beta-carotene, which may support the body’s natural detoxification processes. However, it doesn’t "detoxify" the body directly. Detoxification is primarily managed by the liver and kidneys.

    Is carrot juice high in sugar?

    Carrot juice does contain natural sugars, typically around 9-12 grams per cup (240ml). To put this into perspective, current guidelines suggest a maximum of 25 grams of sugar for women and 36 grams for men. While carrot juice isn’t excessively high in sugar, it’s important to consume it in moderation. 

    Can I drink carrot juice before bed?

    Yes, carrot juice can be consumed before bed. Its natural sweetness may satisfy late-night cravings, and the beta-carotene content supports overall health. However, avoid drinking excessive amounts because it could affect blood sugar levels.

    What time is best to drink carrot juice?

    The best time to drink carrot juice is in the morning on an empty stomach or as a midday snack. This allows your body to absorb the nutrients efficiently and increases energy levels.

    Is it better to eat carrots or drink carrot juice?

    Eating whole carrots provides more insoluble fiber, which supports digestion and satiety. Drinking carrot juice delivers concentrated nutrients and soluble fiber, so a balance of both is ideal for a healthy diet.

    Beyond Christmas Juice Recipes

    Yes, Christmas juices are a healthy option for your holiday parties and a new way of making fun drinks, but juices are not the only way you can use your Hurom this Christmas. 

     

    Here are 3 festive bonus recipes you can make other than juice. 

    Cinnamon Almond Milk 

    Almond milk is a favorite among Hurmo users, and for good reason! Our slow juicer provides clean almond milk free of chemicals and processed artificial sugar. 

     

    1. Place almonds in a bowl and cover them with water, letting them soak overnight or for 6–8 hours. This softens the almonds, making them ideal for juicing. Use 1 cup of almonds to yield approximately 1 cup of almond milk.
    2. Drain the soaking water and thoroughly rinse the almonds. Refill the bowl with fresh water.
    3. Start your slow juicer and use a ladle to alternate adding equal parts of almonds and water into the juicer.
    4. Continue until all the almonds and water have been processed.
    5. Watch as the almonds transform into creamy milk flowing from the juicer.

     

    This almond milk follows our original recipe, but add a few sticks of crushed cinnamon to improve the taste at the end of the process. 

    Cranberry Sauce 

    Sick of the same orange juice and seasonal cranberry juice? Try this sauce instead!

    Ingredients (for 10 people):

    1. 15 cups of cranberries
    2. 5 cup of apples
    3. 1 cup of ginger
    4. 2.5 cups of tangerines
    5. Cinnamon
    6. Nutmeg

    Steps:

    1. Clean and prepare all the ingredients for juicing.
    2. Juice the cranberries, apples, ginger, and tangerines. For texture, use a fine strainer for a smoother result or a coarse strainer for a chunkier one.
    3. After juicing, combine the pulp and juice in a pot over medium-high heat. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add cinnamon and nutmeg for added spice while it simmers.
    4. Once ready, use the sauce as a topping for waffles or store it in sterilized jars for future use!

    From Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve, cranberries are the life and center of any holiday recipe, so it’s no surprise to find ourselves with bowls full of fresh cranberries. 

     

    This is one of the many options you have to transform your leftover fruit into sauces. 

    Christmas Tea

    In these cold seasons, tea seems to be the perfect drink to sip in front of the chimney. This is how you can use your fruit pulp to make your teas even better.

     

    Make your tea of choice; we recommend black or jasmine tea leaves to mix with sweet fruits like apples, pears, pineapple, or grapes. Also, add a tablespoon of your favorite fruit pulp into the mix from the get-go.

     

    This delicious creation is a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth or bring light to your holiday gathering.

    How to Make Cold-Pressed Juice Without a Juicer (And with One!)

     

    If you want fresh, nutrient-packed juice at home, you’re on the right page. 

    We’ll teach you all our secrets on how to make cold-pressed juice

    We’ll talk about all of this in a second, but cold-pressed juice keeps all the good stuff intact—vitamins, minerals, natural flavor—without the added heat that traditional juicers use. 

    Basically, we’ll go over everything from choosing the right ingredients to storing your juice so it lasts (because, let’s be real, fresh juice doesn’t stay fresh forever). 

    And whether you’re new to juicing or a longtime fan, we’ll share a few tips and recipes to make the process even easier.

    Is Cold-Pressed Juice Good for You?

    Cold-pressed juice is packed with natural health benefits because you’re basically adding more nutrients to your diet. 

    We love the entire cold pressing process because it keeps out excess heat, which damages essential nutrients. And that’s a massive problem with high-speed juicing. 

    The point is to get the right nutrient content with all the good stuff, like vitamins and minerals. These healthy fruits and veggies will give you:

    • More energy for your day-to-day life or before a workout
    • A quick source of vitamins and minerals that’s easy to digest
    • Better immunity because you’re getting undamaged antioxidants
    • Healthier digestive system thanks to all that soluble fiber
    • Better eye health
    • Shinier, stronger hair and nails
    • Improved skin health

    Besides, you get a delicious juice that looks more vibrant, tastes fresher, and lasts longer.

    Like so:

    And yes, it’s cold-pressed juice in the right-hand glass – that color and nutrients are exactly what you want for you and your family.

    The Right Ingredients for Cold-Pressed Juice

    We always say that the best cold-pressed juices start with fresh, high-quality ingredients. 

    We advise you to test a variety of fruits and vegetables, especially leafy greens and root vegetables. The point (as always) is to create a nutrient-dense juice that’s rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. 

    Pro tip: Tropical fruits like mango and pineapple add natural sweetness, while softer fruits like berries make the juice smoother. And, of course, more flavorful.

    So, if you want to get that balanced mix of flavors and nutrients, combine fresh fruit, root vegetables, and tough stems like kale or spinach in your juice. 

    Mixing up your ingredients: 

    • Adds more variety to your diet, which is important because that ensures digestive health. Besides, the digestive system is basically the home of 70-80% of your immunity.
    • Different types of juices offer different health benefits. For example, green juices are great for detoxifying, while fruit blends give you a lot of energy before a workout.

    That brings us to the next question (and trust us, we get asked this A LOT):

    How Many Fruits and Veggies Go into a Cup of Juice?

    We’d love to give you one clear-cut number, but things are a little bit more complicated.

    The amount of produce you need for a single cup of juice varies a lot depending on what you’re juicing. To break it down:

    • Juicy produce (like grapes, berries, cucumbers, or apples): About one pound makes a cup.
    • Leafy greens (like spinach, lettuce, or wheatgrass): You need nearly two pounds per cup.
    • Herbs (like parsley): Four to eight bunches per cup—talk about concentrated flavor!
    • Roots (like carrots, beets, and ginger): These tougher veggies require closer to 1.5 to  2 pounds per cup of juice, as they have a lower water content.

    How to Make Cold-Pressed Juice Without a Juicer

    Even if you don’t have the best cold-press juicer at home, you can still make cold-pressed juice with a few simple tools.

    You can try these options:

    Option 1 (with a blender):

    1. Gather your ingredients: Start with your favorite fruits and veggies. For leafy greens or tougher ingredients like stalks of celery, chop them up with a sharp knife, so they’re easier to blend.
    2. Blend with a bit of water: Put everything into a food processor or blender, adding a splash of plain water to help the juicing process. Blend until it’s as smooth as possible.
    3. Strain the juice: Pour the mixture through a fine strainer or cheesecloth into a bowl. Use the back of a spoon to press down on the pulp, squeezing out every bit of nutrient-dense juice.
    4. Pour and store: Transfer the juice into a mason jar or glass bottle. Cold-pressed juice doesn’t have preservatives, so try to drink it within 72 hours to keep it fresh and full of flavor. Keep it in the fridge in the meantime!

    Option 2 (no machine):

    1. Gather and prep Your Ingredients: Choose your favorite fruits, veggies, and leafy greens. Chop everything as finely as possible using a sharp knife—this will help you release more juice. For leafy greens or tough ingredients like celery, chop them extra small.
    2. Mash the ingredients by hand: Place your chopped ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Use a pestle, a sturdy potato masher, or the back of a spoon to crush and mash the ingredients thoroughly. Keep mashing until you see juice starting to form.
    3. Press Through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer: Take a large piece of cheesecloth or a fine strainer and place it over another bowl. Pour the mashed mixture into the cheesecloth, then twist and squeeze it tightly to extract the juice. Use your hands to press down and squeeze out every drop of juice from the pulp.

    As you can see, this option needs a bit more elbow grease and more ingredients.

    But here’s a simpler way to do it:

    How to Make Cold Pressed Juice with a Juicer

    If you’ve got a slow juicer on hand, making cold-pressed juice is as easy as it gets. Just a few simple steps, and you’ll have fresh juice that’s nutrient-dense and full of flavor. Here’s how we do it:

     

     

     

    1. Gather and wash your ingredients: No need for chopping with most Hurom juicers because they have wide feed chutes that handle whole fruits and veggies. Yes, even leafy greens and root vegetables. Just wash everything thoroughly to remove any dirt or residues.
    2. Add ingredients to the juicer: Place your fruits and vegetables directly into the feed chute. Start with softer produce like soft fruits, then add tougher ingredients like carrots or beets for a balanced juice. Your juicer will handle the rest, separating the juice from the pulp, which goes straight into the pulp container.
    3. Collect and store: Pour the juice into a glass. You’ll want to drink it right away to enjoy peak flavor and nutrients, but if you’re saving it for later, store it in the fridge and aim to drink it within 48–72 hours.
    4. Quick clean-up: A lot of our Hurom juicers are built with the patented Easy-Clean Technology, so rinsing is a breeze. Just disassemble the parts and rinse them under a stream of cold water. No scrubbing, no hassle—just a quick rinse, and your juicer is ready for the next batch.

    Side note: That’s why we like to say Hurom makes healthy living easy!

    How to Make Cold Pressed Juice Last Longer

    Fresh, cold-pressed juice is best enjoyed right away. 

    But we know life is never that easy. So, we’ll share a few tricks to make sure each batch of juice lasts longer. 

    As a side note, we have this awesome article on best batch juicing tips.

    1. Use glass bottles or jars: Tightly sealed glass containers like mason jars prevent oxidation and keep the juice fresh longer.
    2. Fill to the top: Minimize air exposure by filling the container to the very top before sealing it. Less air means less oxidation, which is what degrades the nutritional content.
    3. Keep it cold: Store the juice at a steady temperature in the coldest part of your fridge. For best results, aim to keep it at 34-38°F.
    4. Add a splash of lemon: Adding a bit of lemon juice makes the juice tastier but also provides natural antioxidants that keep the juice fresh for longer.
    5. Freeze for longer storage: If you need juice to last beyond a few days, freezing it is a great option. Just remember to leave a little room at the top of your container for expansion.

    How to Store Cold-Press Juice

    Storing your cold-pressed juice properly can make all the difference in preserving its nutritional benefits and flavor. Here’s how to keep your juice fresh for as long as possible:

    1. Choose glass over plastic: Glass bottles help retain the juice’s taste and nutrient density better than plastic containers. They’re also easy to clean and won’t hold onto flavors or odors.
    2. Refrigerate immediately: As soon as you make your juice, store it in the fridge to prevent any loss of essential nutrients. Cold temperatures slow down oxidation, keeping the juice fresh and flavorful.
    3. Limit sun exposure: Keep juice away from direct sunlight, as exposure to UV rays can degrade the nutrient content over time.
    4. Label and date each bottle: To keep track, label each container with the date it was made. Cold-pressed juice is best within 48–72 hours, so you’ll know when it’s time for a fresh batch.

    Pro tip: We like to store juice in glass containers because it keeps that “just-made” taste for longer and is better for the environment, too.

    FAQ

    How do they make cold-pressed juice?
    Cold-pressed juice is made using a slow pressing method of 40-100 rotations per minute, which extracts juice without creating excess heat. Avoiding high speeds is what keeps nutrients intact.

    How do you cold press juice without a machine?
    If you don’t have a juicer, you can use a food processor to blend fruits and veggies, then strain the pulp through a fine cloth or cheesecloth to get a batch of juice that’s close to cold-pressed. Alternatively, you can mash the ingredients yourself by hand, but it will take much longer. Besides, you won’t get dry pulp as you would with a juicer, which means you’re losing lots of nutrients and healthy, soluble fiber.

    What is the difference between cold press and juicing?
    Cold pressing is a type of juicing that avoids heat and high speeds, preserving more nutrients. Regular juicing typically means using a centrifugal juicer that creates more oxidation and may lose nutrients faster.

    What is the 80/20 rule for juicing?
    The 80/20 rule suggests using 80% vegetables and 20% fruits in your juice. This helps keep the juice low in sugar but full of nutritional benefits.

    What vegetables should not be juiced?
    Some vegetables, like raw potatoes, are best avoided in juices. Others, like beet greens and large amounts of cruciferous veggies, are best used in moderation due to their strong flavor or impact on digestion. Plus, you can’t even juice some fruits in the first place, like bananas.

    Is it okay to drink cold-pressed juice every day?
    Yes, daily cold-pressed juice can be a great source of vitamins and minerals. Just remember to include a variety of fruits and veggies to get a wide range of nutrients and health benefits.

      Receta de limonada casera de Hurom

      Perfecta para una barbacoa de verano, un cóctel sencillo o para ayudar a los niños a hacer realidad sus sueños emprendedores, la limonada casera es increíblemente sencilla y deliciosamente refrescante cuando se prepara correctamente. Además, la vitamina C de los limones ayuda a aliviar la fatiga y, al mismo tiempo, a eliminar toxinas del organismo.

      Beneficio de salud destacado:
      • Rejuvenecer
      Ingredientes:
      • 1,5 tazas de jugo de limón
      • 1,5 tazas de azúcar
      • 6 tazas de agua
      Instrucciones:
      1. Para preparar un almíbar simple, combine partes iguales de azúcar y agua en una cacerola. Caliente a fuego medio, revolviendo de vez en cuando hasta que la mezcla esté transparente y el azúcar se haya disuelto. Deje que baje a temperatura ambiente o póngalo en el refrigerador para que se enfríe. (Nota: si está en apuros, siempre puede agregar el azúcar directamente a la jarra y revolver enérgicamente para disolverlo).
      2. Corte los limones por la mitad y exprímalos con un exprimidor de cítricos Hurom. Asegúrese de conservar o desechar la pulpa, según sus preferencias. También puede utilizar su exprimidor de baja velocidad y agregar los limones cortados, que también incluirán algunos de los aceites de la cáscara.
      3. Añade el jarabe simple, el jugo de limón y el agua restante a una jarra. Revuelve bien y ¡disfruta!

      Consejos de limonada de Hurom:

      Si bien los limones Meyer pueden ser difíciles de conseguir, son perfectos para hacer limonada. Por lo general, son más dulces y tienen un sabor más parecido al de la naranja, por lo que no necesitarás compensar la acidez con tanta azúcar como con los limones comunes. ¡Prueba y experimenta para encontrar una proporción que funcione para ti!

      A la hora de elegir limones, busca siempre limones tiernos y pesados. Si tienes problemas para decidirte, prueba a elegir unos que tengan un tamaño similar al tuyo y siente cuál es más pesado. El limón más pesado será el más jugoso.

      ¿No sabes qué hacer con las cáscaras de limón que te sobran? ¡Mézclalas con un poco de licor para hacer una infusión, prepara cáscaras de limón confitadas o ralladura para ensaladas!

      ¡Un consejo más! Dejar que los limones alcancen la temperatura ambiente antes de exprimirlos ayuda a obtener el máximo rendimiento.
