NEW DR. OZ GREEN JUICE RECIPE
The original Dr. Oz Green Juice recipe that he first shared with the world on Oprah, may have been a little too “green” for people new to green juices – so he created a new one that has more fruit to sweeten it up a bit.
We love the combination of pineapple and apple with over 5 nutritional powerhouse greens – and we think you will too.
Of course, Blender Babes kept all the fiber and made it a whole juice by using a high powered blender – but you can make it in a traditional juice extractor as well.
You too can start your day with the green breakfast juice that Dr. Oz swears by! This green juice is super low-calorie yet rich in many essential vitamins.
Plus the lemon, lime, celery, and parsley are incredibly detoxing and cleansing.
Community member Blender Babe Kerry H asked us: Do we put the lemon, lime & orange in the Vitamix WITH their thick skins on?? I peel certain things before putting in Vitamix, generally cucumbers, oranges, lemons, limes, etc:

HEALTH BENEFITS OF PARSLEY
Studies show that myristicin, an organic compound found in the essential oil of parsley, not only inhibits tumor formation (especially in the lungs), but also activates an enzyme which helps the molecule glutathione attach to, and fight against, oxidized molecules. Along with luteolin, the vitamin C found in parsley serves as an effective anti-inflammatory agent within the body.
When consumed regularly, they combat the onset of inflammatory disorders, such as osteoarthritis (the degeneration of joint cartilage and the underlying bone) and rheumatoid arthritis (a disease causing inflammation in the joints).
Also, a mere two tablespoons of parsley have a whopping 153% of the RDA of vitamin K. (Source: Health Diaries)

can you store this in the fridge? for atleast 3 days ?
I usually store in the fridge and drink within 24 hours – beyond that it starts to lose nutritional value and the texture gets “icky”. You could also freeze your blend and then defrost the morning of or evening before if you have for breakfast. 🙂 HAPPY BLENDING!
Added half an avocado and 1 kiwi. Taste even better
Good to know!! I’ll have to try that 🙂
I just bought a Vitamix Pro 750 with presets, and was looking for some good smoothie recipes. My blender does not have a “High” setting as indicated in your directions. Should I just leave it on variable speed 10 for the allotted time? Or maybe use one of the presets?
Hey Robert! Great question! The New Next Generation models like your Vitamix 750 is HIGH when you’re on variable speed 10 (it kicks into high gear!). So the high instruction just applies to those models that have a low/high setting. You should be good to go on your top variable speed! But if you’re making a smoothie you can also try the smoothie setting on your Vitamix 750, of course! We LOVE automatic presets. 🙂
Great recipel
Glad you liked it Regina! 🙂
Outstanding! Flat leaf or curly parsley?
Welcome Craig! You can use whatever you have. We always say, use what you got! 🙂 HAPPY BLENDING!
Not my favorite so far. I felt like it separated pretty quickly and was a little watery. I like the other Dr. Oz smoothie better.
This smoothie is also great for a smooth and glowing skin!

I just started on my health journey and this is the first smoothie I made love it
This is hands down my favorite! So fresh and light and makes me feel awesome! I never would have thought Parsley would have been an ingredient I liked much less loved!
I love how much this woke me up! So tasty and bright!
Really love the health benefits of this juice.,Thank you
Really love the health benefits of this juice.,Thank you
This tastes so fresh and uplifting. I really like the smell and the different flavors combined!!
I have frozen it before. I freeze a lot of my smoothies, when I have extra. they turn out good!
Can you freeze this drink or freeze the ingredients ahead of time? Wasn't sure if citrus or cucumber would freeze well.
Yes absolutely. It will freeze just fine, just peel the citrus and peel the cucumber if it’s not organic (dirty dozen). 🙂 We usually make smoothie freezer packets and then just add the liquid. 🙂
Hey Ricky! Foods that help lower blood sugar include apples, avocados, fennel, lentils, onions, sweet potatoes & yams. Search for these items in our search bar for recipes that include. 🙂 We love adding 1/4 an avocado to our smoothies and have some great sweet potato recipes, including a juice! HAPPY BLENDING!
whats good for lowering blood sugar ??

Hi I printed out Dr oz’s green drink, do I drink it every day and how much? do I make the whole lot at once and put in the fridge till I need it? Can you also tell me the recipe for the water and vinger wash. thank you
Hi Donna! You can make Dr. Oz’s green drink every day if you want to – at least until the ingredients run out. We like to switch things up and experiment. Those new to green juices and smoothies we recommend starting with 16 ounces (2 cups) and working up to 32 ounces per day. Drink as much as you can, refrigerate, then snack when you need it. It should last about 24 hours in the fridge before it starts to get “icky”. Here is the recipe for the water/vinegar wash. 🙂 Keep us posted! 🙂 HAPPY BLENDING!
I would substitute ginger for mint as mint sometimes causes some indigestion for me.
I Love Dr. oz , I’ve been watching Him For 4years , His Honesty is so Appreciated AvA in Tampa, Fl.
It was awesome
Just made this green drink
I love this smoothie!!! Its the perfect balance of fresh and thirst quenching with a tropical flavor. I’m making this again for lunch tomorrow! The mint and parsley balance each other out so well, and I’m not a fan of fresh mint
Love this recipe – especially the cucumber! I find not enough smoothies use cucumber. I didn’t use the pineapple though so it wasn’t as sweet which I enjoyed
Love the veggie ones.
It was unexpectedly better than I thought it would be with the celery and parsley! I am a fan of mostly all green smoothies, I just love spinach 🙂 But I think the citrus flavors worked well with the celery and parsley.
Yummy! Great beverage and refreshing. Loved the mint.
I liked this recipe. I left out the celery and maybe added a bit too much parsley.
A for awesome! Loved all the ingredients. Refreshing and very tasty.
I wasn’t crazy about this one. Not sure if it was the parsley or the celery that I didn’t care for. I’ve loved all the other ones though!
I found this to be quite nice – I’m never too keen on herbs in smoothies but this wasn’t too overpowering
I went a little heavy with the spinach so it tasted very “green” but aside from that I’d make this again. I really liked it.
Yummy I really like this one!
Hi HeidiI I'm not sure what you mean? Your PH levels? Alkalinity? Enzymes? We recommend talking to your your physician
How do you measure internal chemistry?
Hello Judith and WELCOME to Blender Babes! 🙂 Thank you for pointing this out to me, I agree it is unclear. 1/4 pineapple is about 1 cup of fresh or frozen pineapple. I will update the recipe. Happy Blending & Juicing! 🙂
what does 1/4 pineapple mean (for example)? I don't understand those measurements.
why do i, having followed this recipe to the 't,' have 20 servings?
Hi Jeaanette, welcome. This recipe made 20 8oz cups for you? When we do the full recipe it usally makes around 7 cups give or take. We count 1 serving as 2 cups or 16oz. I will update the recipe now to reflect that, sorry for the confusion. Which blender and jar are you using?
thank you for such a fast response, blender babes; my error; i thought mehmet was recommending 4 oz as a serving; i am going to have my enzymes measured so that i dont upset the balance of vitamins, amino acids, enzymes, hormones, etc. do you drink 16 oz a day? and do you measure your internal chemistry? will look at blender; it's an oldie, but goodie……….tx again
You're welcome Jeanette! I (and many people who participate in the free green smoothie challenges we host throughout the year) drink between 16oz and 32oz, depending on how much I make usually 😉 If it's too much I'll freeze the rest for a morning when need to rush out the door. 🙂 I do not measure my internal chemistry other than a pH test every once in a while to make sure my body is alkaline. Hope the blender holds up, this one is a fibrous green smoothie!
well, aren't you a find…….dont usually watch oz, he is, after all, only an m.d. lol; but the universe directed me 2 his show that day & now 2 u born with underlying acidosis & began writing about it 30 yrs ago; my alkaline levels almost killed me last week; have frozen what i did not use; does the wizard know that you ladies have improved on his recipe? you could be on his show………
It's our DREAM to be on his show! 🙂 So sorry to hear about your acidosis, that must be scary and hard to live with. I'm sure your writing has helped other people going through the same thing. So glad you found us too! 🙂
why have I now enough green drink for 2 dozen servings? followed this recipe religiously.
Carmen, I would peel the citrus fruits of the zest, but try to leave as much of the white pith as possible since there's lots of nutrition in there!
Yes absolutely! The pith is a must! 🙂
Stupid question coming your way…..do you peel cucumber lemons limes
That’s a GREAT question Carmen! The skin of the cucumber is the most nutritious part – so definitely include and try to buy organic, but if not possible soak/wash with a water/vinegar solution. You can use the zest of lemons and limes, however for the most part they are much too bitter to include. 🙂 Hope that helps! xoxo ~Blender Babes
Carmen we are so sorry we didn't receive notice of your comment and apologize for the delay. We recommend peeling the citrus as Kiko says, zest is ok, however keep the skin on the cucumber it's the most nutritious part. Buy them organic if possible but if not, make sure to use a pesticide rinse or water/vinegar solution soak. 🙂
