Easy
Red Ginger Juice
This juice is a real energy boost, and it's great when you need a pick-me-up or when you need to fuel a workout. The fruit provides energy, while the beet increases endurance, and the celery and fennel push out toxins.
Sesame-Crusted Salmon
Sesame seeds have a powerful antidepressant effect and provide the basis for this healthy, restorative dinner.
Color Me Red
This recipe is a variant of Color Me Pink and is a great way to add variety to a weight-loss program. Beets are substituted for the raspberries here. Trust me, it tastes great. The beet tops are not used in this recipe, but save them for another juice.
Beet It Juice
Boost your detox with some potent and bright beet juice. I love the pretty color of beets and their sweet and earthy flavor. The ginger adds a kick and some anti-inflammatory benefits. The lemon makes it all come together. And don't worry; I didn't forget about the greens either. A cup of kale should round things off perfectly. To good health!
Green Energy
This supersmoothie is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. The spirulina is a great protein-booster, too.
Very Veggie
Sweet potato as juice? You bet. This pumpkin-colored tuber is not only a surprising—and easily sourced—ingredient with an appealing flavor, it also helps you get your glow on. The carotenoids in orange-colored vegetables like carrot and sweet potato have such beneficial effect on skin, they have a scientifically validated "attraction factor"—meaning that warm glow you naturally acquire makes others rate you as more attractive.
Spicy Jicama Fiesta
This juice is very interesting and possesses significant health benefits because of the combination of ginger and radish. Give it a try for a change of pace.
Red Delicious
Orange and carrot add depth and color to red apple juice plus another gift: a good dose of vitamin C and beta-carotene.
Spinach-Pineapple-Mint Juice
The mint in this juice ties together the sweet pineapple and tart green apple so well that you won't even notice the spinach.
Mango-Kale Juice
This is a green juice that doesn't taste green. The mango adds antioxidants and sweet flavor, while the nutrients in the kale and apples help detoxify the liver and fight free radicals.
Big Apple Detox
With its creamy, delicate flavor and cleansing ginger, this juice is perfect for after an indulgent holiday or Christmas.
Brazil Nut & Banana Parfait
Rich in protein, the oats and nuts in this sweet, crunchy dessert will help keep blood sugar levels stable.
Color Me Pink
This recipe is a great way to start the day, especially if you are on a weight-loss program. It is low in calories, but the natural fruit sugars will keep your appetite in check. This drink is particularly rich in flavonoids. Make sure you leave as much of the albido (the white pithy part of the peel) as possible on the grapefruit, as this is rich in flavonoids.
Ginger-Lemongrass Turkey Burgers With Crispy Kale
These flavorsome burgers are ideal for relaxed family meals and offer a good hit of mood-lifting tryptophan.
Power-Boosting Beets
This robust, vibrant-color juice is packed with big flavors and energy-boosting nutrients to get you going in the morning.
Broccoli Bagna Càuda
Even a simple vegetable side can take on a deep, layered flavor profile when you add umami and heat to the mix. That's why I'm a big fan of bagna càuda, a simmered Piedmontese "hot bath" of garlic, anchovies, red pepper flakes, and olive oil. Thankfully, you don't have to zip around the streets of Turin on a scooter to get a taste of this mouth-filling, savory sauce. Tossed with lemony, oven-roasted broccoli, spicy bagna càuda brings full-bodied heat to any dinner table. Besides, it's just plain fun to yell BAHN-yah COW-dah!
Macadamia Nut "Ricotta"
Raise your hand if you miss cheese!
Spicy Beans with Wilted Greens
Two humble ingredients have big impact here: The Parmesan rind adds richness; the dried beans deliver creaminess.
