Purple Power Juice
I put this together because I know what these ingredients do and I wanted all of that in one bottle. Purple cabbage, watermelon, Bartlett pears, fresh ginger, Persian cucumbers, and half a lime. Six things. One jar. Close to seven cups of the most vibrant, nutrient-dense juice I have made in a while.
That deep purple color is not a filter. That is anthocyanins from the cabbage doing exactly what it is supposed to do.
Purple cabbage fights inflammation, feeds your gut bacteria, and supports liver detox. Watermelon hydrates you at a cellular level and delivers lycopene for heart health. Pears support digestion and help your body absorb iron properly. Ginger is the fire in this recipe — anti-inflammatory, immune-supportive, and it moves everything through your gut that needs to move. Cucumber cools the body, supports your skin and joints, and adds a high water content that pairs beautifully with everything else. Lime brightens the whole blend and keeps that purple color vibrant.
I washed everything with a fruit and vegetable wash, chopped it all up, ran it through my Nama J cold-press juicer, double strained it into a Ball glass mason jar, and put it straight in the refrigerator. That is it.
Fresh cold-press juice keeps for two to three days in the refrigerator. It is alive, it is not pasteurized, and after that window the nutrients drop and food safety becomes a concern. Plan your batch accordingly.
If the flavor feels strong at first, cut it with a splash of coconut water. It softens the bitterness of the cabbage, adds electrolytes, and makes it easier to drink without changing what it is doing for your body.
