7 of the Best Juicer Recipes

If you’re looking for a refreshing green juice, a vitamin-rich citrus blend or a delicious way to enjoy more fresh fruit and vegetables, these cold press juicer recipes are a great start.

Each of the 7 recipes has been selected for its flavour, simple ingredients and everyday practicality. After 20 years of personal juicing, these are recipes we return to again and again.

Fresh vegetable and fruit juices are an easy and deliciously enjoyable way to add a concentrated variety of vitamins, minerals and plant compounds to your diet, often using ingredients and combinations you might not otherwise consume regularly.

1. The Classic Green Juice

Green juices provide a refreshing way to enjoy leafy greens, fruit and vegetables as part of your daily diet. TIP: adding a handful of parsley adds an extra dark green dimension.

Benefits: Kale, spinach and parsley provide a concentrated mix of carotenoids, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate and antioxidant plant compounds. Dark leafy greens are consistently associated with cardiovascular and metabolic health, while ginger provides gingerols—compounds widely studied for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity.

If green juices are your main interest, see our Green Juice Detox Guide for more green juice recipes and practical tips, or our Wheatgrass Juice Guide for juicing wheatgrass and other concentrated greens.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup kale, stems removed
• 1 cup spinach
• 1 cucumber
• 2 green apples
• 1 lemon, peeled
• 1-inch piece of ginger
• (Option) handful of parsley

Instructions:

1. Juice the ingredients, alternating the leafy greens with the firmer produce.
2. Stir well and serve over ice.

2. Carrot-Orange Sunshine

Carrots and oranges are a classic combination with a naturally sweet flavour. This bright, refreshing juice is ideal for starting the day.

Benefits: Carrots are exceptionally rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A and uses in normal vision and immune function. Oranges provide vitamin C and flavonoids associated with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Fresh turmeric adds curcuminoids, compounds extensively studied for their anti-inflammatory properties.

Ingredients:

• 4 large carrots
• 2 oranges, peeled
• 1 apple, optional for added sweetness
• 1-inch piece of turmeric root, optional

Instructions:

1. Peel the oranges and cut them into segments.
2. Cut the carrots into pieces that fit into your juicer.
3. Add the apple and turmeric, if using.
4. Juice all the ingredients and stir well before serving.

3. Beetroot, Apple & Ginger Juice

Earthy beetroot, crisp apple and fresh ginger make a vibrant, full-flavoured juice, balanced with a little lemon for brightness.

Benefits: Beetroot is naturally rich in nitrate, which the body can convert to nitric oxide, helping blood vessels relax and supporting circulation. Beetroot juice has been repeatedly studied for blood-pressure and exercise-performance effects, while ginger adds antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds.

Ingredients:

• 1 medium beetroot
• 2 apples
• 1 small piece fresh ginger
• 1/2 lemon, peeled

Instructions:

1. Juice the beetroot, apples, ginger and lemon.
2. Stir and serve.

4. Tropical Pineapple-Cucumber Cooler

This pineapple and cucumber cooler is light, hydrating and refreshing—perfect for a warm day.

Benefits: Pineapple provides vitamin C, manganese and bromelain, a group of enzymes studied for anti-inflammatory and digestive effects. Cucumber’s high water content makes this particularly refreshing and hydrating, while lime and mint contribute additional antioxidant plant compounds.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 pineapple, peeled and chopped
• 1 cucumber
• 1 lime, peeled
• 1 handful of mint leaves

Instructions:

1. Juice the pineapple and cucumber.
2. Add the lime and mint leaves.
3. Stir well and serve chilled.

5. Apple-Ginger Zinger

The sweetness of apple combines with lemon and warming ginger to create a simple, invigorating juice.

Benefits: Fresh ginger is rich in gingerols and related compounds with well-documented antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity and has also been extensively studied for nausea and digestive symptoms. Apple provides polyphenols and natural sweetness, while lemon contributes vitamin C and citrus flavonoids.

Ingredients:

• 4 apples
• 1-inch piece of ginger
• 1 lemon, peeled

Instructions:

1. Peel the ginger and lemon.
2. Juice all the ingredients together.
3. Stir and serve immediately.

6. Celery-Green Apple Refresher

Celery juice has become popular with many health-conscious Australians for its fresh taste and high water content. This recipe combines celery with green apple, cucumber and lemon for a balanced and refreshing juice. TIP: Putting a clove of garlic through the juicer adds an additional flavour and nutrition note.

Benefits: Celery provides potassium, vitamin K and plant compounds including apigenin and luteolin, flavonoids studied for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Lemon adds vitamin C and citrus flavonoids. The optional garlic introduces sulphur compounds, including precursors to allicin, that have attracted considerable research for their potential cardiovascular effects.

Ingredients:

• 4 stalks of celery
• 2 green apples
• 1 cucumber
• 1/2 lemon, peeled
• (Option) clove of garlic

Instructions:

1. Juice ingredients, alternating the celery with the firmer produce.

7. Watermelon-Mint Delight

Watermelon is naturally hydrating and combines beautifully with cucumber, lime and fresh mint.

Benefits: Watermelon is exceptionally hydrating and provides vitamin C, lycopene and citrulline. Citrulline is involved in nitric-oxide metabolism and has been studied for its potential effects on blood flow and vascular function, while lycopene is a potent antioxidant carotenoid.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups watermelon, seeds removed
• 1/2 cucumber
• 1 handful of mint leaves
• 1 lime, peeled
