The 25 best juicing recipes for weight loss

• Juicing can help you get your recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables each day.
• At Noom, we don’t recommend juice-only diets—instead, juicing should supplement healthy meals.
• There’s a wide variety of healthy juice recipes that you can make at home with fruits and vegetables as you’re trying to lose weight.

Juicing is a quick and easy way to get lots of fruits and veggies in your diet, along with key vitamins and minerals.

However, while juicing is a popular weight loss approach, many juices being sold in stores are calorie-dense and full of sugar.

So, we’ve rounded up the top 25 juicing recipes for weight loss that are low in added sugars and empty calories. You can make these at home—all you need is a juicer (or blender or food processor) and the raw ingredients. 

But first, let’s find out if juicing will help with weight loss in the first place. 

Note: Consult your health care provider before making any dietary changes.

Is juicing a good way to lose weight?

At Noom, we don’t believe that drinking your calories is the best approach to weight loss. 

Yes, juices pack in plenty of nutrients, but they’re usually not as filling as whole fruits and veggies.

Why? Because juicing removes a lot of the fiber that’s normally present in the whole versions of these foods.

And according to the Cleveland Clinic, some types of fiber just might help you feel full for longer periods of time. That means you’re less likely to feel hungry between meals and overeat—making it easier to maintain the caloric deficit needed for weight loss. 

Research also suggests a link between fiber intake and weight loss. One study found that “the most influential predictor” of weight loss was how much fiber participants were consuming. 

Now, this doesn’t mean you should avoid juicing altogether. Juices can actually help you reach your recommended daily amount of fruits and vegetables more easily. 

And if you’re not typically a fan of munching on veggies, don’t worry! Just a little fruit goes a long way in masking the taste of some of those veggies you don’t typically enjoy.   

But juicing shouldn’t be done in place of eating. Juice diets (a.k.a. juice cleanses or juice fasts) aren’t sustainable long term, and we don’t recommend them.

Instead, supplement your meal with a nutrient-dense juice.

Balance out that vitamin-rich breakfast juice with an egg-white scramble on whole-wheat toast. Or drink juice in place of a snack between lunch and dinner.
