Easy-to-Make Vegetable Juice Recipes

Getting all the right vitamins isn’t always easy, especially if you don’t like sitting down to eating a plate of vegetables every meal. It can be especially difficult getting children to eat their vegetables, and yet the essential vitamins for a healthy body are contained within this fresh produce. So how can you get the vegetable goodness, without the vegetables? One way is by reducing the vegetables into a juice. There are many books containing vegetable juice recipes on the market, and kitchen juicer equipment that makes creating the juice easy and less time consuming.

A simple tomato recipes book will give you an ideal example of this. Rather than eating the tomato whole, or chopped, wash, blanch in hot water and peel it. Chop the tomato up and then mix it with iced water. Season the tomato and water with salt and pepper to taste and add some herbs to the finished juice if required. You can make simple one vegetable juice drinks like this using say carrots, or you can blend different types of vegetables for one glass of juice.

Create your own Vegetable Juice Cookbook

By learning more about vegetables, you can decide which vegetables contain the vitamins you feel you don’t eat in other ways, and then produce juice recipes from these.

Your juice drink becomes even more nutritious if you have grown the vegetables yourself. You can prepare for this by looking through a seed catalog and deciding which vegetables to plant that you will use in your vegetable juices. By using homegrown produce in your juice, you reduce the risk of unknown chemicals having been used to grow the vegetables as you will control what is used to help them grow.

What could be healthier than a glass of iced vegetable juice made with hand-picked growing vegetables from your own garden?
