I get asked this question all of the time: “Do you have any cancer fighting juice recipes?”

Well, for a while my answer was complicated. If you look back at my holistic and natural cancer treatment story, you’ll see I didn’t really juice that much while I was going through my treatment. I mainly stuck to vegetable smoothies and salads because there was so much confusing information around juicing, juice storage or not, fruit or no fruit, masticating or centrifugal, etc.

With all the confusion I was relieved that the protocol I followed in Bill Henderson’s book Cancer-Free: Your Guide to Non-Toxic Healing didn’t put too much focus on juicing. Not all holistic healing protocols agree with this, so if you are healing naturally from cancer, be prayerful and research-minded in choosing the right protocol for you.

OK, back to juicing….

Nowadays I love juicing because I’ve learned so much about its benefits and I’ve simplified my juicing routine. I also use it as a supplement rather than as primary nourishment, which takes off of some of the pressure to have all of the right answers and doing it perfectly.

I also have a rockin’ juicer that I can clean in LESS than 5 minutes. Because this busy mom does not have time to be cleaning a juicer any longer than that!

My Juicing Routine and EASY Cleaning Juicer:

With three kids, preparing three meals a day from scratch, and homeschooling, this season of life cries for convenience. Not everyone will agree with this, but I have chosen to FREEZE my juices after juicing them in bulk. I freeze my juices in 8 ounce or 16 ounce mason jars (leaving a 1-inch space at the top for expansion) and keep them in the back of my freezer. Freezing immediately and leaving little room for air helps maintain the enzyme activity and vitamin and mineral potency of the juice.

To thaw the juice, place the jar in a bowl of room temperature water up to the lid. It should be ready to drink in 2-3 hours. For quicker thawing you can empty water after 30 minutes and immerse the jar in warmer water.

My favorite juicer, primarily because it takes about 4 minutes to clean with hot water and a scrub brush (and can also be washed in the dishwasher,) is the Breville Juice Fountain Elite.

On the day that I make my bulk juice, I drink a glass fresh and then immediately freeze the rest. My three daughters also drink these juices (I lessen or leave out the broccoli and cabbage for them,) but everything else is tolerated if not loved around here. (A quick MOM tip: I found that introducing slightly sweet vegetable juice to my babies around 1-year-old has led to them loving juice as they have grown.)

Before we get to the recipes, I warn you ahead of time: I’ve gotten REALLY used to drinking juices and smoothies that aren’t immediately tasty. As in….I’m used to drinking kind of gross-tasting juices. If you are new to juicing, I would try juicing something simple first, such as an apple-carrot juice blend.

Also, if you are on the Gerson Therapy or using juice for healing cancer, these juices are great, but please follow the guidance of your healing practitioner.

***These recipes will make anywhere from 12-20 ounces of juice depending on the size of the vegetables you juice. To juice and freeze in bulk you can triple or quadruple these recipes.***

My 5 Favorite Anti-Cancer Juice Recipes:

#1 Cucumber- Carrot- Kale juice (1 cucumber, 4-6 carrots, 4 leaves kale, 1 green apple)

I love this juice because it’s so simple. After washing all of the produce and cutting off the tops of the carrots, I simply throw it in the juicer and it’s done! Cucumber adds the majority of the liquid and both carrots and kale have mega anti-cancer properties. If you want a sweeter juice, you can add a half of an apple or to mask some of the flavor, squeeze 1/2 of a lemon into the juice by hand.

#2 Orange – Carrot – Ginger – Beet juice (1 large orange- peeled, 1 medium size beet- peeled, 3 carrots,  1/4″ piece ginger)

The orange and beet will add a tad of sweetness to this juice. Beets have beautiful cleansing properties, as they help detoxify the liver. Ginger has strong anti-cancer properties, and the carrots are extremely alkaline.

#3 Carrot- Cabbage- Pineapple (6-10 carrots, 1/8 purple cabbage, pineapple core)

Carrot dominates this juice, but the slight tropical flavor from the pineapple core (which has anti-cancer and enzymatic properties for digestion) makes it one of my favorites. I use the rest of the pineapple for my kids’ lunches. Cabbage, being in the cruciferous vegetable family has excellent cancer-fighting properties. If you’re feeling a little reserved about adding cabbage, make this juice without it the first time and then add a little bit at a time for subsequent juices.

#4 Apple- Carrot- Broccoli- Beet (1 green apple, 4-6 carrots, 1 broccoli stalk, 1 medium beet)

This juice is slightly sweeter. Green apple has less sugar than red apples but still helps mask the broccoli flavor. Beets once again are incredibly anti-cancer and cleansing. And of course the broccoli with the cancer-fighting quercetin and sulforaphane is worth the unique flavor. Squeezing the juice of 1/2 of a lemon (by hand) is a nice touch to help mask the broccoli flavor.

#5 Apple- Celery- Carrot- Baby Bok Choy (1 green apple, 6-8 carrots, 1 bunch baby bok choy)

Another slightly sweeter juice due to the green apple, the celery adds additional antioxidant phytonutrients, along with already awesome carrots and cancer-fighting and cruciferous bok choy.
