This tart and veggie-heavy green juice offers bold flavors like lemon, parsley and horseradish. Horseradish root is part of the cruciferous family, like cabbage, wasabi, broccoli and mustard and offers many health promoting phytonutrients including sulfur-based anti-cancer compounds, folate and nutrients that assist the liver in detoxification. Horseradish root has been used medicinally for thousands of years and is even mentioned in Greek mythology.
For maximum potency, keep the root intact and do not slice until you are ready to consume or juice it. Horseradish root can be found at most health food stores. Just remember that a little bit goes a long way! Start off with one slice then add more to your juice if you wish.
Ingredients:
1 bunch parsley
2 lemons
1-2 thick slices horseradish root
2 cucumbers
Directions:
1.) Peel lemons.
2.) Wash horseradish root and slice.
3.) Wash cucumbers and parsley.
4.) Juice all ingredients and serve over ice.
Enjoy!
I was just about the benefits of parsley. LOL
“The flavonoids in parsley especially luteolin have been shown to function as antioxidants that combine with highly reactive oxygen-containing molecules (called oxygen radicals) and help prevent oxygen-based damage to cells. Parsley is also an excellent source of two vital nutrients Vitamin C and Vitamin A (notably through its concentration of the pro-vitamin A carotenoid, beta-carotene).”

Hi Stacy,
I have a general question about juicing all of my veggies on Monday for the week or 4-5 days out, storing the juice in individual wick canning jars in the fridge. I would then measuring out for each ingredient (1 apple, 2 carrots, etc.). So, the question is how long does the sealed juice last for the individual vegetables. Both my husband and I are juicing – by the time I get things cleaned up he’s home for another round. Looking for solutions. I purchased chalkboard labels for the wick jars to label the measurements as well for self serve. The fruit is always fresh – not pre- juiced.
Hi Willowcreek, here is more info on juice storage – for 4-5 days you should freeze your juice but for up to 48 hours keep in the fridge (even up to 72 is often OK depending on the ingredients). For freezing be sure to leave room at the top of the mason jar for expansion but for fridge fill to top to prevent oxidation.

HOW MANY CALORIES ?
I cant seem to find horseradish root. What can I substitute in its place?
thanks!
Hi Sweetienena, try ginger instead of horseradish – use a little more than usual for an extra kick but add it slowly since a little bit can go a long way
