Vegetables You Can Juice

When you first think of juicing, fruit probably comes to mind. This is typical, as most of 
the bottled juices at your local supermarket are likely made with just fruit. However, 
when you are juicing for your health, you want to add in just as many vegetables, if not 
more. This increases the balance of nutrients in your juice, and helps to keep the sugar 
content down. Plus, it helps reach your recommended servings of vegetables for the 
day.

With vegetables, they are not all juice-worthy like fruits are. Here are some of the best 
veggies you can use for juicing:


Cucumber

This is one of the top vegetables used for juicing. Cucumber is about 95 percent water, 
which is one of the many reasons it is often used in juicing. Cucumber can make your 
juice very refreshing and hydrating, plus include nutrients like vitamin C, flavonol, and 
antioxidants. Cucumber has a very mild flavor, so it works with just about any flavor 
combinations and is a good filler vegetable when you want more hydration in your juice.


Kale

For your leafy greens, the first option is kale. Kale is available most seasons of the year, 
is very versatile, and just a little bit goes a long way. If you don’t enjoy kale, but love the 
health benefits, juicing is the way to go. A handful of kale gives you vitamin A, vitamin K, 
vitamin C, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties, and fiber. If you aren’t a big fan of 
using kale in your juice, you can replace it with spinach.


Carrots

Yes, believe it or not, you can juice carrots! They actually contain more jucie than you 
might expect, which is why carrots are often found in vegetable juices. Carrots have an 
appealing, mild taste that works great with both fruits and veggies. You will get nutrients 
like vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin A, copper, iron, potassium, and vitamin B8. They are 
good for your skin, eyes, and immune system.


Celery

Just like cucumber, celery has a very high water content, at over 90 percent water. It 
has a lot of the same benefits of cucumber, including improving the hydration and giving 
more liquid to your juice. Celery is great when combining with fruits or vegetables that 
don’t give quite as much juice, like greens or pumpkin. 


Broccoli

One of the more surprising vegetables you can juice is broccoli. Don’t get your broccoli 
with dinner? Add it to your vegetable juices! This can replace other vegetables if you 
don’t like carrots or spinach, plus it works surprisingly well in juices with lots of sweet 
fruits. Broccoli contains vitamin C, A, B6, fiber, and potassium.
