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 โgreenโ for people new to green juices โ 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 โ 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 โ 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 ๏ฌght against, oxidized molecules. Along with luteolin, the vitamin C found in parsley serves as an effective anti-in๏ฌammatory 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 in๏ฌammation in the joints).
Also, a mere two tablespoons of parsley have a whopping 153% of the RDA of vitamin K. (Source: Health Diaries)
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 itโs not organic (dirty dozen). ๐ We usually make smoothie freezer packets and then just add the liquid. ๐

Hi I printed out Dr ozโs 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. Ozโs green drink every day if you want to โ 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 โickyโ. Here is the recipe for the water/vinegar wash. ๐ Keep us posted! ๐ HAPPY BLENDING!
I would substitute ginger for mint as mint sometimes causes some indigestion for me.
I Love Dr. oz , Iโve 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. Iโm making this again for lunch tomorrow! The mint and parsley balance each other out so well, and Iโm not a fan of fresh mint
Love this recipe โ especially the cucumber! I find not enough smoothies use cucumber. I didnโt use the pineapple though so it wasnโt 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 ๐ But I think the citrus flavors worked well with the celery and parsley.
