Kiwifruit is also rich in vitamin C and contains magnesium, calcium, potassium and phosphorus.

Choose firm mangos and mandarins if available during the same season to compliment the soft taste of the fruit. A fresh passion fruit has a very moist and juicy pulp, so choose one that is still firm on the outside. For the hardcore gourmet, a teaspoon of orange rind mixed into the juice or sprinkled on top as a decoration adds a mouthwatering bitterness to the tropical sweetness of this juice. If you find the pulp too moist, let it run through the machine a second time.
Nutritional information:
Mangos contain anti-oxidants and flavonoids, vitamin C, A and beta-carotene. They are a strong support to a healthy immune system. Passion fruit is also high in vitamin C and A. Its other properties help to reduce eye infections.
The pineapple is my favorite fruit. When I still drank a cocktail now and then, it had to be Pina Colada. Today the pleasure of having a cocktail have ceased and new pleasures have come along. Pina Colada is one of them. For fans of the effect of alcohol, this is a good cocktail base!
Ingredients:

Preparation hints:
A very ripe pineapple, almost overripe is most delicious for this recipe. Cut the coconut meat into long, fine strings and let them float in the juice. A triangle chunk of pineapple squeezed onto the rim of the glass with a cocktail umbrella makes this summer drink a must.
Nutritional information:
Pineapple is rich in vitamin C, chlorine, fruit acids and bromelain. It aids digestion and balances the body’s acidity and alkalinity homeostasis. Coconut meat provides vegetable oil, fiber and when eaten fresh, the mainly saturated fats in the coconut do not harm the body in the way heated saturated fats do.
Lettuce is a great base juice to be mixed with any other herb or green vegetable. The darker its color the higher nutritional value and the more chlorophyll is contained in the leaves. Mustard greens have similar benefits to watercress but their taste is due to the sharper mustard oil.

* juice the mustard greens at the same time with the snow pea sprouts and the lettuce by slightly wrapping it around the sliced lettuce
Preparation time: 10 min
Yields: 2 glasses
Preparation hints:
Mustard greens are also valuable in salads. Be careful with the burning sensation of the mustard oil when the greens are made into juice. To avoid irritation of any kind, never drink it on its own. Select firm and crisp lettuce such as Cos or Romaine to get a good amount of juice. Add as much water as you like to the juice.
Nutritional information:
Cos lettuce originated from the island of Cos in Greece and is rich in natural sodium, which makes it one of the most beneficial juices for conditions affecting the adrenal glands. Mustard greens are rich in sulfur and add to a normal regeneration of the blood. Fresh snow pea sprouts are high in living enzymes when consumed as soon as possible after harvesting.

Parsley contains more vitamin C than citrus fruits. It is a high source of chlorophyll, calcium, magnesium and iron. The combination of the two is perfect as parsley supports loose stools, indigestion and malabsorption of foods.

Feed the carrots by the thin end first.
Nutritional information:
Watercress is exceedingly rich in sulfur, phosphorus and chlorine. It is a very good intestinal cleanser and is best not taken alone, as it is very acid forming. Bok choy is a very vital food for the stomach, duodenum and the small and large intestines. Raw bok choy acts as a cleanser of the intestines as it reconstructs and regenerates the intestinal linings. It is rich in calcium, iron, folic acid, zinc, carotene and many more minerals.
This is a light drink, which is great after exercise or before going to a dance party. It is wonderfully refreshing. Because radish salad is my favorite salad, I designed the much easier drinkable white radish drink for days when I don’t feel like having a salad or I am short on time.

Buy organic fresh radishes, as they are usually milder in flavor. Peal the cucumber if you want a very mild tasting juice or leave it on for more nutrients. Radish helps cleansing the body of mucus from the lungs and sinuses and for this reason I prepare it just before I go to do a workout.
Nutritional information:
Radish is high in potassium, sodium, magnesium and iron. It helps restore the mucus membranes in the body. Celery is rich in vitamin C, magnesium, iron and sodium. Its natural combination of organic minerals is excellent to help the body restore to normalcy.

Ingredients:
* 2 peaches

It has no starch, is low in protein and because it is a sprout and growing until the moment you chop it to make juice, it is full enzymes. Lime has the same properties as lemon and is an immune system boost.
Wheat Grass Variation One
Wheat grass is baby wheat. It contains no gluten and therefore doesn’t cause any allergic reactions. It is a highly effective way to help the body to eliminate waste and cleanses the blood.

Have you seen the movie “Cocktail”? This drink is best enjoyed on a paradise island overlooking the bay. If for some reason you find you have other commitments, having this drink chilled on your balcony will do just as well.

* then pour the fresh coconut water into your juice pitcher and stir the mix
Preparation time: 8 min
Yields: 2 glasses
Preparation hints:
This juice mix is very thin and for that reason I remove the pithy part of the oranges for this recipe to keep this thin consistency rather than a foamy one. I also use the sieve to remove all the fibers. The tiny and hard strawberries with a shiny skin are best to use and a whole strawberry with its green hat looks yummy as a decoration on the rim of the glass. Served chilled or with ice cubes, this drink makes a beautiful cocktail without the alcoholic side effects. Enjoy!
Nutritional information:
Scientifically, coconut water doesn’t have much nutritional value except potassium. It also has little fat and often when drinking this juice I think it must contain some wonderful ingredient that science hasn’t discovered yet. Strawberries are rich in vitamin C.

Nutritional information:
Fennel assists you as a mild sedative and in falling asleep. Fennel has been shown to reduce and control inflammation of arthritis. It also evens mood fluctuation and depressive states.

Imagine a cold winter evening, the smell of cinnamon in the house and a warm, sweet apple tea in front of the fire of granny’s living room. Well, in Living Food nutrition, miracles happen. It is an art to change ones’ food habit but it is not as hard as you think it would be!
Ingredients:
* 6 apples
* small piece of ginger
* slice of lemon (remove the peel to get a sweeter flavor)
* 1 tsp cold-washed, sugar-free honey
* pinch of cinnamon powder (I suggest you grind your own cinnamon sticks into a fresh powder with the Mincing Strainer on your machine before you change over to the juicing function)
Machine set up:
* Using a living juicer, first place the Juicing Strainer into the drum, then onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Juicing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counter clockwise onto notch 0.
* Place your Juice Pitcher under the Juice Outlet and place the other pitcher under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the pulp.

Preparation hints:
I like to use apples with red skin in this recipe, especially the autumn season ones that are nice and sweet. If you really desire to have a warm drink – don’t heat above 50 degrees. For decoration, let a small piece of cinnamon stick float in each glass like a piece of bark. Serve it in a teacup with a pot of honey on the table in case someone has a very sweet tooth that day. You could also use a cinnamon stick per glass for stirring. This juice is easy to store over night.
