I get asked this question all of the time: “Do you have any cancer-fighting juice recipes?”
I often recommend making juices and smoothies. Not only is making a juice or a smoothie simpler than cooking a meal from scratch but it also provides you with a nutrient dense glass of deliciousness. I like to think of it as a direct deposit into each and everyone of our cells. If you are dealing with cancer or are implementing a cancer-free lifestyle balancing your meals is top priority. Here are my favorites that are full of anti-oxidants and cancer fighting properties.
My 5 Favorite Anti-Cancer Juice Recipes:
#1 Cucumber- Carrot- Kale juice (1 cucumber, 8 carrots, 4 leaves kale)
I love this juice because it’s so simple. After washing all of the produce and cutting off the tops of the carrots, I simply throw it in the juicer and it’s done! Cucumber adds the majority of the liquid and both carrots and kale have mega anti-cancer properties. If you want a sweeter juice, you can add a half of an apple or to mask some of the flavor, squeeze 1/2 of a lemon into the juice by hand.
#2 Cucumber- Ginger- Beet juice (1 cucumber, 1 medium size beet, 1/4″ piece ginger)
The beet will add a tad of sweetness to this juice. Beets have beautiful cleansing properties, as they help detoxify the liver. Ginger has strong anti-cancer properties, and the cucumber adds volume and is extremely alkaline.
#3 Carrot- Cabbage- Pineapple (6-10 carrots, 1/4 purple cabbage, pineapple core.)
Carrot dominates this juice, but the slight tropical flavor from the pineapple core (which has anti-cancer and enzymatic properties for digestion) makes it one of my favorites. I use the rest of the pineapple for my kids’ lunches. Cabbage, being in the cruciferous vegetable family has excellent cancer-fighting properties. If you’re feeling a little reserved about adding cabbage, make this juice without it the first time and then add a little bit at a time for subsequent juices.
#4 Apple- Carrot- Broccoli- Beet (1 green apple, 4-6 carrots, 1 broccoli stalk, 1 medium beet)
This juice is slightly sweeter. Green apple has less sugar than red apples but still helps mask the broccoli flavor. Beets once again are incredibly anti-cancer and cleansing. And of course the broccoli with the cancer-fighting quercetin and sulforaphane is worth the unique flavor. Squeezing the juice of 1/2 of a lemon (by hand) is a nice touch to help mask the broccoli flavor.
#5 Apple- Celery- Carrot- Baby Bok Choy (1 green apple, 6-8 carrots, 1 bunch baby bok choy)
Another slightly sweeter juice due to the green apple, the celery adds additional antioxidant phytonutrients, along with already awesome carrots and cancer-fighting and cruciferous bok choy.
