Your liver is the second largest organ in your body (besides your skin), and it affects everything: immunity, digestion, nutrient absorption, how your skin looks, and more. It’s important to keep your liver happy, and these three nourishing juice recipes, full of veggies and herbs, are just the thing to show your liver some love.
Liver Love Juice
Cucumber and celery are super hydrating with a high water content, while asparagus is a powerful diuretic [source]. This mellow juice is perfect for when you need a fresh pick-me-up.
- 1 cucumber
- 5 asparagus spears
- 10 stalks celery
- Handful of parsley
- Handful of cilantro
- 2 lemons, peeled

Green Baby Juice
A dash of cayenne and a little ginger kick this green juice up a notch—and they help stimulate your metabolism.

Antioxidant Punch Juice
Dandelion greens are a super nutritious green containing high levels of the antioxidant beta-carotene, which is known to provide strong protection against cellular damage and oxidative stress [source].
Combined with lemon, celery, and cucumber, this green juice will deliver a real antioxidant punch! If you can’t find dandelion greens, try arugula or kale.

Hi I want to know how you take the juice once a week or every day. Thanks!
Thank you so much for these wonderful detox recipes.
I love having new mixes for my homemade kombucha to flavor in. Now to set up a schedule for what to do first. Yummy
I don’t have a juicer so. Can I just make this in a Ninja blender? I imagine it won’t be smooth but I would still get the nutrients right?
Thats correct. You will get the nutrients. The only thing with the blender is that the juice also contains loads of fiber which makes it difficult for a person to consume in large quantities. Nevertheless it is a good start for a healthy lifestyle.
Could you blend the ingredients together in a high powered blender, and then strain it?
