Grape Citrus Fennel Juice

This Grape Citrus Fennel Juice recipe is an antioxidant and vitamin filled juice made from fennel bulb, orange, grapefruit, lemon, apple and grapes. Not only is it satisfying, but it is incredibly nutritious as well.

This fennel based juice is one of our all time juices. We discovered a similar juice at a breakfast place called Satsuma in New Orleans and knew that we had to recreate something similar at home.

So, we came up with our own version of it and have been drinking it ever since. It has a hint of anise flavor (thanks to the fennel), with lots of citrus and an overall refreshingly light taste. Try our Strawberry, Beet and Carrot Juice and Lighter Green Lemonade for other lighter juice recipes.

Step by step instructions

Step 1– wash all your fruit and vegetables.

Step 2– cut your fruits and veggies to fit into your juicer. You need to remove the citrus peel, so your juice isn’t bitter.

Step 3– juice! After all of the juice has been extracted from your juice extractor, then mix the juice together with a spoon, then pour and serve.

Recipe FAQs

We got into juicing after reading the Juiceman’s Power of Juicing and that transformed our life. It’s our favorite juicing book because the recipes are realistic and the information on fruit/veggie combinations is important (the combinations do matter).

After cutting open a fruit or vegetable and juicing them, the nutrients of the fruits and vegetables instantly begin to lose their power so you shouldn’t wait more than 10 minutes to drink it.

But if you have to wait, put it into an airtight container and keep it refrigerated.

Yes! You do. It is our favorite way to juice veggies and fruit like this.
