Ingredients Needed

labeled ingredients for making cabbage juice.
  • Cabbage makes the base of the juice. You can use green cabbage or red or purple cabbage. Cabbage is part of the cruciferous vegetables family and has many health benefits. Whether you eat cabbage or drink raw cabbage juice, you’re going to get a lot of nutritional value including vitamin C and vitamin K. A head of cabbage is usually only a few dollars and has low calories. It’s one of the most nutritious vegetables you can consume, especially when making anti inflammatory juice recipes.
  • Apple pairs amazingly well with cabbage and adds some natural sweetness to this juice. You can use a red or a green apple.
  • Cucumber adds more hydration to the recipe and balances the cabbage flavor.
  • Ginger and lemon add a little extra zing and kick in flavor. They’re a great addition to this juice.

Cabbage Juice is a great vegetable juice that can help with tummy troubles including ulcers. This recipe includes apple and ginger to help add natural sweetness and balance the flavors of the juice. Make this juice in a blender or a juicer.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/4 of a medium red or purple cabbage
  • 1 apple, red or green
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 1 lemon, peeled and sliced
  • 1 1/2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled
  • 1 cup water (if using a blender to make the juice)

Instructions

  1. Cut the cabbage, apple, and cucumber into large pieces that will fit through the feeding tube of a juicer. If you will be using a blender to make your juice, then cut your produce into smaller pieces than if you are using a juicer.
  2. If you are using a juicer, then run the vegetable and fruit pieces through the juicer. Collect the juice in a pitcher and serve immediately.
  3. If you are using a food processor or blender, add the cabbage, apple, cucumber, lemon, ginger, and water to the base. Blend or process on high for 20-30 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth. 
  4. Then, pour the blended juice through a nut milk bag, squeezing it from the top down to drain the juice into a pitcher. Discard the collected pulp, or save it and use it for another purpose.
  5. Serve the juice immediately.

Notes

  1. You can easily double or triple this recipe for more servings.
  2. Fresh juice is best served right after it’s made. But, it can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  3. This juice is very versatile! Feel free to adapt the ingredients. For instance, you can include celery instead of cucumber. Mint is also a great addition. If you don’t want the juice to be sweet, feel free to leave out the apple.
