DR. OZ GREEN JUICE RECIPE
This Dr. Oz green juice was originally shared with the world on Oprah! Who wouldn’t want a green juice recipe from one of the most well known doc’s around!
However, Dr. Oz’s green juice is traditionally made with a juice extractor…
Blender Babes tested the famous doc’s green juice by keeping all the fiber and other nutrition (found in skin & seeds, etc.) and liquefying everything with a good high powered blender – and we think it’s just as good!
The amount of liquid is important! Note that 1.5 to 2 cups is needed to make this whole food Dr Oz green juice recipe. The adjusted ingredient amounts are below.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 cups – 2 cups (12-16 ounces) filtered or spring water
- 1 cup spinach
- 1/2 cup cucumber
- 2 celery stalks
- 1 small bunch parsley
- 2 apples (cored)
- 1/2 inch ginger
- Juice 1 lime
- 1 1/2 cups Ice
If you don’t have a powerful blender, you will definitely want to cut this recipe in half, use more water, and follow these blending tips.
Since many of these ingredients are part of the dirty dozen that have the most pesticides, buy what you can organic or use this fruit and veggie wash to remove what you can.

One of our favorites, the new Dr Oz green juice recipe is similar to this one but has more fruit to sweeten it up a bit! 🙂

HEALTH BENEFITS OF THE DR OZ GREEN JUICE
This smoothie is packed with tons of nutrition powerhouses.
Besides providing good levels of vitamins A and K, parsley also has several unusual, helpful components: volatile oils which can inhibit tumor formation, especially in the lungs; and flavonoids, which prevent cell damage associated with various diseases, including asthma, atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetes, glaucoma, heart disease and macular degeneration.
Moreover, Ginger has many benefits unique to itself, lying in components called gingerols. Several studies show that ginger (fresh not dried) helps reduce nausea and vomiting associated with pregnancy, and when used in tea, can relieve symptoms of the common cold and flu, as well as menstrual cramps, headache, and sore throat.
Gingerols appear to be responsible for relieving inflammation associated with arthritis and migraine.
Don’t forget the lime juice! Note that Limes contain flavanol glycosides, which studies show can interfere with cancer cell growth and act as an antibiotic.
