Detox Your Body with Spring Juicing

If you want to get healthier this spring season and detox your body, it starts with what 
you put into your body. While you do not need to do a juice cleanse just to be healthier, 
adding more fresh juice is a great idea. Here is more information on juicing during this 
time of year.

Use Fresh Spring Produce

Before you start juicing, you need to begin with the best produce you can get your 
hands on. Try to go for the freshest produce, organic whenever possible. However, 
organic is definitely not mandatory. If you can get it from local farmers, such as from a 
farmer’s market, that will be the freshest available. 

Go for produce that is in season in the spring where you live. This may vary, but here 
are some examples:

Kale 
Lettuce 
Carrots 
Broccoli 
Lemons and Limes 
Oranges 
Grapefruit 
Beets 
Spinach 
Strawberries 
Dandelion Greens 
Celery 
Apples 
Cucumber

It is good to look up what produce is in season where you live, as different climates offer 
different varieties and the quality and price might vary quite a bit as well. 

Try New Flavor Combinations

There are some standard juice recipes you will find online, such as combining greens 
like spinach and kale, with apples and berries for sweetness. However, you can go 
crazy and throw just about any ingredients together that you want. Don’t be afraid to 
experiment! As long as you have fruits mixed in, it will still have the sweetness you 
crave, even with lots of veggies. 

Try a vegetable juice with celery, carrots, greens, and broccoli, or mix different fruits 
together, like citrus, apples, and watermelon to see what you get. This is when you 
come up with some of the best juices because it is not a recipe you would find 
anywhere online.

Don’t Forget Your Herbs and Spices

You should also add in some herbs and spices to increase the nutrients and bring out 
more of the flavors in your juice. Some herbs you can find in the spring include 
dandelion root, mint, and basil. These are really delicious added to your juice, plus have 
added healing properties. You can also use spices that contain even more detoxing 
potential, like turmeric or ginger. 

Don’t be shy about combining ingredients you wouldn’t have thought of and tweaking 
other people’s recipe to fit your personal needs and preferences, both with taste and 
what you have available.
