Apple Ginger Turmeric Parsnip Juice

This apple ginger turmeric parsnip juice from Julie Morris is rich, creamy, warming, and delicious. This blend is like fire in a glass.

Juicing during the colder months can be a challenge when our bodies are craving warm foods. Luckily, there are many foods found in nature that have an inherently warming effect on the body, which is exactly why Julie created this juice. It’s softly sweet with just a hint of spice. If ever a juice were to be described as comfort food, this would fit the bill.

The Health Benefits of Parsnip Juice

For whatever reason, parsnips are like the underdog carrot … a shame because they offer their own set of sweet and spicy flavor notes that make carrots seem boring in comparison (do note that you can always use carrots for this juice if parsnips are unavailable). Parsnips also contain many additional vitamins in comparison to carrots, and are an especially good source of potassium.

The Health Benefits of Apple Juice

Apple juice has extraordinary nutrition and cleansing powers. Tasty, able to break down toxins, lower cholesterol, and enhance digestion, this fruit is a popular, versatile, and cost-effective go-to for juices. With phytonutrients, powerful antioxidants like quercetin, vitamin A (in the peel), vitamin C, and significant potassium, apple is a prime detox food that’s available year round.

The high pectin content in this fabulous fruit makes it a great bowel regulator, able to slow the colon down or speed it up, as the body needs for detox. Apple is a cooling food, and so I include it in juices to balance the bitterness of leafy greens and other vegetables.

The sweet tang of apple blends with almost all fruits and vegetables; our preferred variety is Granny Smith, which has a tarter flavor and lower sugar content than common reds like Fuji, Delicious, and Honeycrisp.

That said, this fruit is versatile, and our recipes will work with any apple you have on hand. I recommend coring apples before juicing, as the jury is still out as to whether the bit of cyanide occurring naturally in the seeds is detrimental to health.

The Health Benefits of Turmeric Juice

Turmeric has a litany of medicinal benefits. Turmeric can increase circulation, decrease inflammation, and stave off illness, just to name a few. It is regarded as a warming spice, and when used in fresh form has a surprisingly milder flavor than when powdered.

The Health Benefits of Ginger Juice

Ginger is a brilliant health-promoting juice booster gives beautiful back-end kick to blends of all kinds. In one serving of juice, as little as a half-inch slice of washed, unpeeled root packs a powerful punch.

I rely on ginger as a warming agent for juicing, to counteract the cooling effects of fruits and vegetables, and to promote healthy sweating, beneficial to the cleansing process and fantastic for battling colds and flu.

This sensational herb-and-spice is an overall anti-inflammatory agent that stimulates the lymphatic system, provides cardiovascular and respiratory support, aids digestion and tones the intestinal tract, and relieves gas, bloating, nausea and gastrointestinal distress. It helps make blood platelets less sticky, and reduces risk factors for atherosclerosis. Ginger’s powerful antioxidants and anti-tumor agents can also protect against free radicals.

There’s no need to peel ginger before juicing. Much of the nutrients are in the skin or just beneath. Scrub the root, lop off a piece, and juice away. In our experience, people either love ginger in a juice, or hate it. Starting slow’s a good way to go if you’re unsure which camp you’re in.

The Health Benefits of Nutmeg in this Juice

Often associated with cozy treats, the inclusion of nutmeg fools the tastebuds a bit, providing an expectation of “warm treat.” Just a sprinkle helps balance and bring together all the unique flavors.
