In the Reboot Kitchen: Oh Sweet Broccoli Juice!
All of us at Team Reboot are currently on a 7 Day Juice Only Reboot, so most of the recipes this week will be juices! We’d typically share a smoothie recipe today, but smoothies and juices have different properties so we’d hate to be tempted to drink it if we made one! Instead I’m sharing an ‘Oh Sweet Broccoli’ Juice!
Broccoli is high in vitamin C, K, A, folate, and Manganese. There are approximately 300 studies on the health benefits of broccoli; some benefits include the reduction in certain cancers, anti-allergy and reducing cholesterol levels. Broccoli also supplies potent detoxification benefits due to the specialized phytonutrients. Broccoli is rich in substances called isothiocyanates, chemicals shown to stimulate the body’s production of its own cancer fighting substances. These enzymes, in turn, neutralize potential cancer causing substances before they have a chance to damage the DNA of healthy cells. SO DRINK UP OR EAT UP!

does this taste alright want to add some healthy stuff into my diet plan for new years cut
I only opted for only one orange and it still tasted great! Have been experimenting with the different substitutions everyday.
Should I steam the broccoli before making the juice? Is rather not but not sure after reading other articles. Thanks!
This is great! I had some oranges I needed to use up,so I used 3, plus I added a quarter of a lemon, with peel and a bit of ginger root. I always peal oranges unless they are organic.
I’ve found the easiest way to juice oranges is to peel the outer rind off with a knife, leaving as much of the pith as I can. This gives the pulp of the orange something to hold onto as it’s being masticated. My only complaint about juicing recipes is I wish they would give a better understanding of quantity. 1 head of broccoli can vary significantly. For a heavily veggie based juice, this one isn’t too bad! 🙂
I’m new to juicing and this is one of my favorite juices that isn’t heavily fruit based. I modified it a little and use a half cucumber and add an inch of ginger and leave the pith on the oranges. It’s great with no broccoli bitterness!
I love broccoli so would rather eat it than juice it, but what a great way to use up the stalks.

I didn’t think this juice would be good but I gave it a try any way. I’m glad I did. I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of substituting 1 stalk of celery for the 1 cucumber. This juice was good. The color of my juice was different than the photo- a brownish yellow. I was kind of scared but it was good! Thanks for the recipe. I really liked your substitution list, as well.
Just tried this juice out. Definitely not bad. Been juicing for 3 days now and so far everything is going great. Definitely can’t complain!
[…] called Oh Sweet Broccoli and I can’t decide if I think it sounds tasty or not. I guess I’ll just have to see. […]
We went with Oh Sweet Broccoli for our first juicing experience. Not bad. Excited to try some others.
