    About this ebook

    Juicing has taken America by storm. And it’s no wonder—drinking fresh fruit and vegetable juices helps you lose weight and easily absorb essential nutrients, giving you energy and making you look and feel healthier! With this book, you’ll learn which fruits and vegetables are the best for juicing and how you can grow them in a small garden plot, in pots in a windowsill or on a porch, or even right in your kitchen. It takes a lot of produce to make a great drink, and that can get expensive. Growing your own is much more economical, and it also enables you to ensure you’re not getting any pesticides or genetically modified ingredients you don’t want to consume!

    In Grow and Juice you’ll find straightforward instructions for growing beets, celery, spinach, kale, tomatoes, carrots, strawberries, sprouts, wheatgrass, and more! From there, you can choose from sixty recipes for juices, smoothies, sorbets, popsicles, and other treats—all bursting with flavor and homegrown nutrition. You’ll also find charts showing which vegetables contain which nutrients, and tips for storing and freezing your bumper crops for the best nutrition retention and taste. Whether you’re new to juicing or already a stalwart supporter, you’ll find tips and recipes here that the whole family will love.

      ALL ABOUT JUICING

      The Benefits of Juicing

      If you’re buying this book, you’re probably already enough of a juicing fan to know that drinking fresh-squeezed juice makes you feel great. But in case you’re looking for ways to convince your friends and family to join the juicing revolution, here are some specific reasons:

      Weight Loss: Oftentimes we feel hungry not because we need more calories but because our bodies are craving more nutrients. One glass of juice can provide you with several servings of nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables, and it’s easier for your body to absorb nutrients from juice than it is from whole produce. When you drink fresh, raw juice, you may find that you don’t need to eat nearly as often or as much.

      Digestive Health: There’s no doubt that digestive problems are on the rise, especially in America. Sometimes it seems like I everyone I know has some sort of digestive disorder, whether it be Crohn’s, collitis, ulcers, persistent heartburn, irritable bowl syndrome (IBS), or undiagnosed nausea, bloating, or abdominal pains. While these conditions can be caused by a range of issues, they have the common outcome that when you’re suffering with any of them, it’s tough to get the nutrition your body needs to be healthy and whole. Juicing gives your digestive system a rest so that it can begin to heal. The vitamins, minerals, and enzymes packed in the juice are absorbed into your blood stream quickly, without taxing your digestive organs in the same way that the fibers in whole raw produce do.

      Increased Energy and Mental Clarity: When your digestive system has less work to do, you have more energy for other things, including thinking. Everyone knows that after eating a heavy meal you’re likely to feel like taking a long nap. It takes a lot of energy to digest all that food, leaving little left over for anything else. Not only is a glass of juice less work for your body to process, but the intense concentration of nutrients will leave you feeling revitalized and mentally sharp.

      Taste: Okay, not all vegetable juices are created equal when it comes to flavor. You may have had a green juice from a juice stand that made you want to gag. But healthy juices can also be really delicious! Add some lemon and fresh ginger to any green juice to brighten up the flavor, or throw in an apple, pear, or a handful of grapes for more sweetness. Some vegetables, such as beets and carrots, are naturally sweet and are great for getting kids
