These 7 healthy juice cleanse recipes will help boost your energy, detox your body and aid with weight loss. Learn how to make detoxifying green juice + more.
I’m going to preface this post by saying I’m not a doctor or a nutritionist and I don’t claim to know how each individual will react to a juice cleanse.
I’m also going to say that you don’t even need to do a juice cleanse with the juicing recipes that I’m going to provide you with. But there are loads of health benefits from consuming these healthy juices.
Simply add one or two of these juices to your diet each day to help boost your energy and nutrients. That’s what I tend to do since I’m one of those people who tends not to eat my veggies nearly as much as I should.
If you would like to do a juice cleanse, these healthy juicing recipes are just what you need to get started.
During a typical juice cleanse, I’ll drink 6 glasses of juice a day and plenty of water.
I’ve also found it helpful to supplement my juice cleanse with some slow cooker bone broth or instant pot bone broth, just because I find myself craving something warm. Especially during the cooler months. Hot tea is another option to add on to your juice cleanse.
You can also supplement your juice cleanse with this Weight Loss Soup that can be made in the instant pot or on the stove.
Sample typical day of a juice cleanse
- 8am – Celery Juice + Water
- 10am – Carrot Ginger Juice + Water
- 12pm – Green Juice + Bone Broth + Water
- 2pm – Beet Juice + Water
- 4pm – Green Juice + Water
- 6pm – Grapefruit Mint Juice + Water
- 8pm – Bone Broth + Water
I like to purchase my fruits and vegetables on Sunday and prep them all. Then, during the week, I like to prepare the individual juices each day, for optimal freshness.
It’s said that juice is at its peak nutrition when you consume it within 15-minutes of being prepared, but 24-hours is great too. In fact, these juices will keep for up to three days in the refrigerator.
Which juicer to buy?
- I use this Breville Cold Juicer at home. It’s easy to clean and fairly quiet. If you’re looking for a more affordable juicer, this one gets great reviews.
Best vegetables for juicing

How many days should you juice cleanse?
- 1 Day Cleanse – This is great for beginners and perfect to give your body a reset after a particularly indulgent weekend.
- 3 Day Cleanse – A three-day juice cleanse will help eliminate toxins, boost energy, stimulate weight loss and benefit your immune system. This is the duration that I generally stick with.
- 5-7 Day Cleanse – Need an extra nutritional boost? Try a five to seven day cleanse to further eliminate toxins. It’s particularly useful in times of high stress.

What should I eat after a juice cleanse?
After a juice cleanse, you should aim to slowly introduce your body to normal food. Start with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and be sure to drink plenty of water. Then, I like to introduce healthy grains like quinoa or farro, and light proteins like fish and chicken.
Healthy recipes to ease you out of your juice cleanse
- Farro Salad with Basil Lemon Tahini Dressing
- Zucchini Pizza Boats
- Taco Quinoa & Turkey Lettuce Wraps
- Chicken Gyro Bowls with Quinoa
- Instant Pot Dal with Split Peas

That line-up of juices at the top of your post are so beautiful and vibrant, it almost looks like you’re getting ready to dye eggs! I’m particularly partial to carrot-ginger juice myself. It’s such a delicious combo!
I have a question, how many fluid ounces would you say one juice makes?
I would say that each is around 8-10 ounces.
The schedule you posted for timing your juices throughout the day is so helpful! I love the idea of a juice cleanse but you are right: the purchased ones can be SO expensive. This is such a great affordable option!
Thanks Marlynn!
I start my day with celerty juice everyday before i eat anything. My face is glowing, imy stomach works very well. I made it a habit i cannot stay without celery.😀
Do you add water when you juice celery? It’s always kinda chunky for me. I have a Vitamix.
Hi Brooke – I don’t add water when I use my juicer, but it may be helpful with the vitamix.
I do not add water. My juice is very smooth.
All those juices look like a rainbow 🙂 I haven’t done a full on juice cleanse but when I used to start my morning off with a green juice I always felt like it gave me a boost for the day!
I agree Megan – That’s typically how I use these juices – for a boost in the AM.
These photos are just gorgeous!! I’m a big fan of fruit and veggie smoothies but I haven’t experimented much with juicing- I’ll have to try your recipes.
Thanks Kelsey!
I have done both at home and purchased juice cleanses. It’s so much cheaper to do a DIY one at home but sometimes you just need the convenience of bottles. Green juice #2 is my jam though – so good.
The colors alone make me want to drink up! I wonder if I could get my kids to try these?….
I’ll bet they would go for them! Maybe start with the carrot? It seems to be the most mild…
I think it’s time for me to get a juicer! I find myself using my blender, then straining some of the tough fibers, which is a total pain! And the amount I spend on store-bought juices (which run $4-$7) could pay for a juicer by the end of the year. Thanks for all the great tips and inspiration!
You are so welcome Mary! It’s definitely an investment, but I think it pays for itself if you juice a lot.
Amazing healthy juice recipe. I really love this recipe. Thanks for sharing such an awesome recipe.
Wow! great juicing recipe. I really love this recipe. Thanks for sharing such an awesome recipe.
I made all of the juices late last night. I’m starting day one of a three day reset!
Thanks!
Way to go Nadia! Good luck on your reset!
Hello. I’m new to juicing, I’m going to try your recipes. I’ll definitely let you know hoe it goes. Thanks for sharing.
Ment to say( how)
You are so welcome Gayla! Thanks for stopping by!
Good idea for hot summer days. Certainly my kids will love it. Your photos are very beautiful. Thanks you for sharing!
Thank you so much!
I wanna start my detox juicing but my problem is i work night shift from 10pm till 6am and mostly im asleep on daytime..is it okay to do this detoxing from 2pm till 2am.
Of course Winnie! Cheers!
wow … this is great for hot summer days. Thanks you!
I have been juicing for a couple weeks now and I’ve been all over the place with it, so I’m definitely going to try out the schedule you showed and I printed off all your recipe’s…thanks so much!!!
I’ve just started following your recipe, and noticed turmeric stains like mad! Do they stain all the plastic part of your juicer too? I’m on my 2nd cup (did celery and carrot ginger just now)… and I’m really not used to it. It’s a bit gross.. the rawness taste… how long will it take for me to overcome it? I feel a bit nauseated lol..
Confused on servings! The recipe for 1x is one whole day for one person?
So if I want to do 3 days with my hubby I need to do the recipe 6x?
Healthy Juicing Recipes will help boost my energy, detox my body and aid with weight loss.
These are great recipes, especially for newbies. Thank you for putting this together!
I love to drink juices but I have not idea about which kind of juice is drink at what time of day. Your post is amazing as it gives proper schedule for drinking of different kinds of juices.
I’m so glad it was helpful Colin!
I really like juice in my everyday routine. This article is great as it gives different recipes of healthy juices. All recipe are different and easy to made them.
There is no such thing as “bone broth”! What you’re all spending tons of money on is called STOCK. Stock is a liquid made from slowly simmering(barely) the BONES of am animal (usually beef, chicken, veal, or fish) for anywhere from 2-12 hours. A broth on the other hand is made from the MEAT of an animal. So once again BONE BROTH doesn’t exist.
Interesting. So does that mean it’s supposed to be called bone stock?
What Can I replace the apples with? I’m allergic to them.
Hi Gisselle – Pears would work!
I’m allergic to carrots and parsnips. What can I use as a substitute?
Is this recipe for just one day of juicing or 3 days?
Amazing post about healthy juicing recipes. It will very helpful for me. Thanks for it.
I love juices and always drink fruity juices. I never know how to extract juice from vegetables. Today I have got know. I am really thankful to you for such an informative post. Keep sharing.
Thanks for the great job.
Among the different juices mentioned, I enjoy all of them. But if I had to choose one, my top choice would be carrot ginger juice. Ginger is great for soothing an upset stomach, consistently leaving me with a sense of well-being and vitality! And the flavor of carrots is a delightful combination of salty and sweet, which is exactly what I enjoy (and my kids love carrots as well) 🙂
