Juice Recipes with Probiotics: 3 Classic Probiotic Drinks

Adding probiotics to juice recipes makes a great marriage. Vegetable juice is nutrient dense, and probiotics are beneficial bacteria that support digestion. This combination seems to work well for many. How do you add probiotics?

An easy way is to take a probiotic capsule together with the juice. Others empty a capsule in the juice and mix it with other ingredients. However, if you let the juice sit for a day or two after adding the probiotics, the juice might taste slightly fermented.

A few juicing tips to maximise good digestion:

  • Drink vegetable juice on an empty stomach
  • Savor the juice slowly while it’s fresh
  • Use green apples like Granny Smith
  • Use fresh ginger root with the peel
  • Add lemon or lime fruit
  • Add the probiotics last

Summary: Fresh vegetable juice with probiotics fertilizes the gut and its delicate eco system while also keeping the palate happy.
