Dr. Oz Green Drink Recipe Instructions
74
Ingredients:
- 1 lemon 1/2 cup parsley,
- chopped 1 rib of celery
- 2 big handfuls of Spinach
- 1 pince of peeled ginger
- 1 medium cucumber
- 2 apples preferred amount of ice cubes (which is of course, optional)
This serves 1-2 people.
Variation of Ingredients
- 2 apples
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 2 cups spinach
- 2 cups cucumber
- 1 head of celery
- 1 bunch parsley
- 1/2 inch or teaspoon ginger root
- Juice of 1 lime
Servings: 3 - 4
This is another variation of the green drink, I suggest trying out both and messing around with the amounts of the ingredients, according to your taste.
In a juicer, put all the ingredients except the ice cubes in a juicer until done. Serve in your favorite martini glass, or whatever you want! Add the optional ice cubes at this point now that it's finished.
Ofcourse, you can adjust these ingredients to your own taste. Maybe you really like the cucumber taste. Excellent! Add a few more cucumbers instead.
When you start making green juice, I recommend a few more apples than usual until you get used to the taste. There is no absolute requirement to start out with something that tastes like mud. Start with something with a fruit/sweet taste. After that, if you want you can add a few more vegetables and less of those fruit. That's the reason why green smoothies are popular - they are most of the time 60% or more of fruit, and 40% or less of vegetables.
The dark green color is a great indication that you have more than enough greens in the juice. As long as it's green, you will know that you're getting the excellent alkaline benefits of greens.

The recipe I saw for the Green Drink on oprah included lemon & lime...can't find this recipe...can u help?
I posted another variation of the green drink, most likely the exact one used on Oprah.
My sister and I used to make these drinks under the instruction of our wholistic therapist in NZ in 1981. However, many people do not realise that cold drinks actually aren't good for digestion, as they cause the muscles to shrink/tighten, reducing digestive effectiveness. It is always recommended to drink at room temperature or warm...hot can scald. Ice is not recommended.Cheers,Barbara J Gibbs,Dip.Diet.^Nut;BA/BSc;Grad.Cert;TEFL Cert
DOES AN ACTUAL JUICER NEED TO BE USED OR WILL A BLENDER DO?
I use the Vitamix machine and it works very well
I made this on Sunday and drank the whole pitcher! It was one of the best drinks I have ever made! Does anyone have information on the nutritonal value?
I got this off of Oprah's site (searched for green drink):
Dr. Oz says he makes a breakfast drink for himself many mornings that he calls his green drink. What's in Dr. Oz's green drink?
2 cups spinach2 cups cucumber1 head of celery1/2 inch or teaspoon ginger root1 bunch parsley2 applesJuice of 1 limeJuice of 1/2 lemon After everything is combined in a blender, this recipe makes 28 to 30 ounces—about three to four servings. Oprah takes a sip and is pleasantly surprised. "It's a glass of fresh," she says. Dr. Oz's second drink might not be as pleasant, but it's still important—a shot of cod liver oil. "First of all, cod liver oil has the right kind of vitamin D in it—vitamin D3. That's why people who live in the north lands who don't get any sun at all can still survive. It's got the healthy fats that you want in it," Dr. Oz says.an easier to read version - sorry about the last one!

i love it
This stuff was soooo thick I had to use a spoon to eat it! Any suggestions?
I woould like tp know more about the vodka drink Dr Oz talked about on Ophra. I believe its Rhodiola and vodka. What is it used for?.
nasty yuk maybe i will stick with naked juice green drink
Great!
I made this today and was skeptical, but it wasn't bad at all. I think I used too much celery. I also added a tiny bit of apple juice instead of a second apple, because my apples were HUGE, and it seemed like I needed more liquid to blend it. I used a blender, and it took a little while to get it to blend, but eventually it did. I think it'd be easier to do small amounts in teh blender first and then keep adding. I kind of threw it all in there the first time, and that didn't work so well. I also had to drink mine out of a straw to keep the "pulp" out of my teeth. Next time I'm going to add 2 T of ground golden flaxseed for extra fiber and Omega 3s.
i asked, a few weeks ago, how long can i keep drink in refrigerator?
The drink tastes really good with more apples. It gave me so much energy I couldn't sleep till 4 in the morning.
My friend and employer Elizabeth (liz) has MS and wants to know if you Dr. OZ or any one reading this has any good tips or ideas for MS. She is geting worse and as we all know there is no cure, but anything to help her be more at ezz. Please e-mail me Tracie P at godmommy2000@yahoo.com. We are going to try this green drink and thanks for the recipe....
Love that Dr Oz.
This is a good recipe but often used among Raw Foodists. Victoria Boutenko is known for her green smoothies and the effects it had on her family who reversed chronic disease and illness.
As an avid raw foodist, I have sought to incorporate those as you mention as well as juicing, and the simplified raw fruits and veggies. Adding variations of greens help becoming bored with green drinks and add variety to your taste buds as well. The health benefits are amazing!
Yes! You should add olive leaves to the mix. You can use olive leaf capsules to help boost your immunity and help increase metabolism.
I made the drink and I drank it but it was so bitter, maybe I used to much parsley,uck. Connie
Can you use a blender
hallo ,i want to know if is green drink helpe to loose weight? mabe if is some one who can give me idee about that.
I made the drink and did not use ice I added a half a teaspoon of splenda to give it a sweet taste! I Love it!
Using splenda defeats the purpose. Why would you add chemically altered sugar?!?!?!?
I used cilantro instead of parsley (much tastier) and an orange instead of celery (was out of)...for spicier, I will add a dash of tobasco next time. I loved it!!!
What all health benefits does this drink have? And what does cod liver oil have to do with it?
I would like to try the green drink but am not sure how this will all blend in a blender without water. Do you any any liquids? Do you also peel the apples and cucumber? Thank you for any help you can give.
Just tried this. Um, it's alright. Kinda thick and a little bitter. I added more lime juice and that helped. For those asking about a blender, I used one and just added stuff gradually. I peeled the apple and cucumber. I also added water because it was very thick.
I think the drink is great, but you have to do one item at a time and you have to cut up the apples, celery, cucumber,ginger etc and keep adding water in order to blend them, other wise you will spend the whole day and night just trying to blend them. But hey, it's a good source of fiber especially if you're someone with big bowel problems . It's also very feeling, so don't you make a mistake of taking it at night, it's better in the morning.
Use a jucier. The blender make a big green mess and not very appealing to try and drink. I got a cheap one at Walmart $29.00, and it works great. If you don't have or want a jucier use a blender, add spring water and run it thourgh a sieve to reduce the amount of goop. It taste great after I got rid of the goop and drank just the juice. If you want/need all that fiber, keep it in. I saw the drink Oz made on Oprah and it looked like it was put through a jucier, not a blender.
Hey,
I have been drinking the green juice for years, this is the kind of drink not uncommon in my counry anyway. (Sweden) you do not need to add any other supplyment to your normal diet, and it keeps you slim and full of energy. I am 60 years old and still run 5 miles every day. What I do not eat, are sugar items of any sort, no processed foods. My fast food is: an apple and a small bowl of whole grain cereal is better for you with a glass of fat free milk than to stop and get any fast food.Your body needs water, and fresh fruit and vegtables, beans , nuts and cod liver or olive oil, whole grain in small amounts, potatoes are okay, provided you don't add cheese, cream sauce, sour cream or butter. Why is this so difficult for you Americans? Think....first eat later!!! A banana and a small amount of freshly pressed peanut butter, gives you protein, potassium and you can drink water with lemon juice added, you do not need sugar, especially not any of the sugar substitutes. They only confuse your pancreas and lead to your body craving more sugar, you can learn to do without. Try it, I know if I can do it, you can do it!!
Hey Ms Lady from Sweden what do you put in your coffee for sweetner......
I use Stevia or organic honey for a sugar substitute
Muecke,
Do you juice your green drink or put it in the blender? Also, if you could please tell me, what all do you put in your green drink, or is it a variety of things?
Thanks so much,
Julie
Dear Muecke,
I posted a question above but I didn't make it too clear. I guess what I am trying to ask is - Do you vary what you put in your green drink from day to day...or do you have a certain drink that you drink each day? Also, if you don't mind telling me, what are the main things that you put in your green drink each day? Do you make your green drink in a blender or in a juicer? And what are the main nuts or seeds and beans that you consume?
Thanks again so much!!
Julie
You people are missing the point. I can't believe someone would subtitute and orange for celery, etc. Why even bother to make the drink.
I use a juicer and have been drinking it every morning for a month. I feel very good. I juice enough for 3 days and pour a glass every morning when I get up so that it comes to room temp. I also workout for an hour afterwards at the gym. Its not nasty and the taste grows on you. Drink a glass of water afterwards. I also added collard greens to my drink and a shot of cod liver oil.
I simply clean my veggies and put in the juicer. It should be a deep dark green, not muddy. Do not substitute or you lose the effect and the purpose of the drink.
When I juice I use green tea or chamomile tea to to stretch the juice. You will dilute the taste so I steep stevia leaves with the tea and mix it with the juice. Very good!
I have paid and been billed for shipping, ant not received my sample. I have filed a dispute with my bamk, I want an immediate refund.
I just went out and bought a juicer and added a mango to the recipe - its actually great! I thought it would be terrible but its a very fresh taste! Thanks!
This recipe is ok, but I think it would be much better juiced than blended. It definitely needs added water when blended and the consistency is thick anyway. I added mint instead of parsley and omitted the ginger (since I didn't have any). The mint was a very nice addition.
I made this drink and thinned it out with carrot juice. I have a sensative pallet so this was great. I did not use the lime juice though. Didn't see the point of the lemon and the lime. I drink it every morning, no ice room temp.
Dr.Oz and Oprah, I tried the green drink, for couple of days it was hard, now I got used to the taste. Thanks for the recipe.
