Whether you are using your Power Juicer for the first time or dusting it off after a few weeks of neglect, sometimes half the battle is knowing what to juice and then getting those ingredients.

Often, you’ll get to the produce aisle and be baffled to where to start!

Your list will vary depending upon your own needs and tastes but here’s a basic list:

Sweet stuff:

Apples

Pineapple - remember to remove rind and core

Berries - berries should be juiced last

Peaches - peaches and plums need to be removed of pits first

Plums

Oranges - peel first

Savory stuff:

Celery

Carrots - organic carrots do not have to be peeled

Beets

Ginger - peel ginger root before juicing

Green stuff:

Spinach

Romaine

Wheat Grass

By picking out just a few items on this list, you’ll be able to make some of the awesome recipes found on this website or even make up a few of your own. I personally like to mix and match from two or three ingredients from the lists.

For example, my favorite mid-afternoon pick-me-up used to be a cup of coffee, now it’s a juice that I created. I call it “Sweet and Spicy Carrot Juice.”

Here’s how I make it:

Sweet and Spicy Carrot Juice

2 apples

1 stalk of celery

2-4 carrots (depending on the size)

¼ inch of ginger (or more – I like ginger a lot)

Put it all in your juicer and voila.
