Can you juice cabbage
Yes, you can!
Juicing is a great way of including more fruit and vegetables in your diet, especially those we don't eat enough of.
For me cabbage is one such vegetable. Even though I really like it I admit it's not a vegetable I use a lot of in my everyday cooking. Not sure why. Perhaps because it is not as easy to prepare as carrot or cucumber are, for example.
So if like me you would like to include more cabbage in your diet the easiest way to do this is to make cabbage juice.
How to make cabbage juice taste great
Each juice recipe contains 2 vegetables (cabbage and one other) and 1 fruit. I find that this combination provides just the right amount of sweetness to enhance the flavour of the vegetables (raw cabbage juice is not very sweet and it pairs really well with naturally sweet ingredients). This is a simple, tried and tested way of making cabbage juice taste good!
Cabbage juice benefits
We all know that cabbage is a super healthy vegetable. According to online magazine Healthline, cabbage is packed full of important nutrients and vitamins, such as Vitamins C and K among others. Cabbage may also have a beneficial effect on our digestion, heart health, cholesterol, blood pressure, the list goes on.
So whether coleslaw or sauerkraut, eating cabbage, both raw or fermented, as well as cooked, has lots of benefits. And if you are pressed for time you can always make a delicious juice!
Equipment you will need
- Juicer
- Cutting board, knife and peeler
- Bottle, glass or jar for storing juice
3 easy cabbage juice recipes
Each recipe yields approximately 450 - 500 ml of juice.
Cabbage, carrot and apple juice
This is a very inexpensive juice recipe using popular ingredients. Carrots and apples taste great together and the cabbage adds a little sharpness and tones down the sweetness of the other ingredients.
Ingredients
- 300 g white cabbage
- 2 medium carrots (unpeeled)
- 2 medium apples (unpeeled)
Cabbage, cucumber and melon juice
This fruit-and-vegetable juice recipe is very refreshing, perfect for the hot days that I am sure will be coming our way very soon (winter won't last forever!).
Ingredients
- 300 g cabbage
- ½ cucumber, peeled
- ¼ honey dew melon, peeled, deseeded
- Squeeze of lemon juice
Cabbage, beetroot and orange juice
These 3 ingredients would make a great salad, but are equally delicious in a juice. This combination of ingredients also creates a vibrant, rich colour!
Ingredients
- 300 g cabbage
- 1 large beetroot, peeled
- 2 oranges, peeled
Storing vegetable juice
Making your own juice is much cheaper than buying it in a juice bar or supermarket (and probably fresher, too). You can keep any unused fresh juice in a bottle or jar in the fridge for a couple of days.
Why not take a bottle of your homemade juice to work or pop it in your child's lunchbox!

Happy juicing!
Top tips
- Whenever possible it is best to use unpeeled vegetables and fruits for juicing for maximum nutritional benefits. Exceptions include beets, which I prefer to peel in order to make sure no grit gets into my juice. I also peel citrus fruit as the skin is bitter.
- Chop the fruit and veg roughly before juicing.
- You can keep any unused fresh juice in a bottle or jar in the fridge for a couple of days.

I love cabbage and juicing so love everything about this post 🙂 🙂
Thank you! I am surprised myself what a great juicing ingredient cabbage is:)
Cabbage juice is made with a blender or a juicer.
Great idea to pair cabbage with other veggies and fruits. Cabbage juice is so nutritious but because it doesn't taste great by itself I never juice it much. So thank you for these ideas 🙂
You are welcome, glad you like them:) A agree that cabbage juice doesn't taste great on its own so combining it with other ingredients is the only way to really enjoy it.
These all look gorgeous! Who knew!? I can't wait to try them, and still have a half head of cabbage left!
Thanks! Hope you like them:)
Well I'd certainly never thought of making juice with cabbage. I love cabbage and eat plenty of it but (of course) my kids never touch it so this would be a good idea for them.
My kids aren't keen on cabbage either but they had no idea they were drinking it:)
These look great and I love that there are veggies in there!
Thanks Mindy!
I love the sound of all three of these juices, such lovely colours.
Thank you! I love colour in my food (and drinks), I think colourful food tastes better:)
Loving the vibrant colours of these juices! They look and sound lovely. Thank you for sharing with #CookBlogShare x
Thanks! I make juice whenever I feel I am not eating enough vegetables.
Definitely the kind of smoothie I'd like to try! Thanks for sharing:) Your photos are gorgeous!
Thank you! Glad you like the recipe:)
I LOVE the sound of these! luckily the Peachicks love cabbage of all colours so I reckon these would be a big hit in the summer!
Thanks! I love cabbage but my children aren't crazy about it, but with these juices they couldn't even tell it was cabbage:)
These look fabulous!
Thanks! It's cheap and healthy and so easy to make:)
Can I make cabbage juice with apple and water melon juice mixed together?
I haven't tried this particular combination but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Try adding a little lemon juice too.
