The first step is to invest in a good quality juicer. Choose one that has a slow speed, as high speed juicers can damage many of the enzymes you’re juicing for! You might also want to consider one that has one or two augers – large screw-like devices that separate the juice from the pulp. This makes it a lot easier to juice, and to clean afterwards. Be sure to drink the juice immediately after juicing, as even a short period in the fridge can reduce its potency. Of course, organic and GM-free fruits and vegetables are to be preferred wherever possible.
Max Gerson’s juice therapy favours the use of greens such as kale. They tend to have a bitter taste, so carrots are added as a sweetener, as well as for their high vitamin content. Apples are also an excellent sweetener for greens-based juices; remember to include the skin and seeds for maximum benefits. Beetroot is another popular sweetener and plays an important part in juicing tradition. It’s probably fair to say that the apple-carrot-beetroot combination is the tastiest juice you can make! Throw in kale and you have a nutritional tonic that will give you a vitamin base second to none. Consider adding a couple of garlic cloves, or a bunch of coriander to aid the detoxifying effect.
