These easy red cabbage juice recipes are made using a combination of vegetables and fruit producing 3 deliciously flavoured juices. Enjoy for breakfast, with lunch or as a refreshing beverage anytime.

Can you make red cabbage juice taste delicious

Absolutely! On its own red/purple cabbage juice has a very robust, sharp flavour which can be hard to really enjoy. But if you combine it with the right ingredients it can be turned into a surprisingly delicious beverage.

I’ve selected a handful of everyday ingredients and created 3 different red cabbage juice recipes. In addition to the cabbage each juice contains another vegetable and a fruit. These additional ingredients tone down the strong sharp flavour of the cabbage, adding sweetness and improving the overall flavour of the juice.

The proportions I used in each recipe will yield approximately 450-500 ml of the juice.

All the red cabbage juices have a similar purple/red colour.

Is purple/red cabbage good for you?

Yes, it is!

Raw red cabbage is high in Vitamin C, A, K and B-6, as well as iron and magnesium, potassium and other nutrients. If you would like to learn more about the health benefits of red cabbage I found this article on red cabbage as superfood quite helpful.

How to prepare fruit and vegetables for juicing

Juicing red cabbage is very easy to do. You do not have to get rid of the tough middle bit so simply chop the cabbage into chunks and make the juice.

It’s best to use unpeeled vegetables and fruit for maximum nutritional benefits. The 2 exceptions are oranges and the beetroot (unless you are confident there is no soil left on the surface of the beet).

So just rinse your produce thoroughly, chop into chunks and get juicing!

You do not need to core the apples and pears prior to juicing.

All 3 recipes use inexpensive easy to find fruits and vegetables.

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.
There is no need to core the apples and pears. You can store fresh vegetable or fruit juice for up to 2 days, refrigerated, in a glass bottle or jar.
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.
