All right. I know what's your thinking. Blueberry Cabbage Juice? Megan, you must have lost your mind. All I have to say is some of the best foods are some of the worst looking ones. Don't knock it until you try it!
Recently I listened to a speaker at school talk about cabbage juice and how delicious it is. Apparently it's also really good for you but I don't always pay attention when people say that.
There's a lot of weird good-for-you things that you would never catch me eating or drinking. It was the delicious part that caught my attention and no, in case you're wondering I'm not hypie holistic either.
Speaking of which, I finished my life coaching class two weeks ago. The professor would send long motivational emails each morning which first who has time to read long emails and second she would say things like "go forth as one with the universe" "be your inner genius" "move forward with conscious intention." YUCK!
If you know me, then you know this stuff gives me the heeby-geebies. I fully recognize it may be for some people. It's just not for me.
What can I say? I have issues expressing my feelings and when others express theirs which is probably why I don't have a boyfriend. But that's not that the point.
I'm telling you this goofiness because I want you to know I am not one of those people who eats something healthy just because it's healthy or in this case, drink. No, no, no! I don't do health trends.
That would be no different than trying a new diet and as you know, I don't do diets. I march to the beat of my own drum and recommend you do the same. I'm just here to inspire you to try different things!
My experience has been that if something tastes like poo then I'm not going to stick with it for the rest of my life.
Who wants to eat or drink something that brings them zero joy? Yes, food is meant to be nourishment but it is also meant to be enjoyed!
So if there's one NEW thing I recommend you try it's this Blueberry Cabbage Juice and I'm hoping it will bring you joy as it has for me. It vaguely reminds me of a Capri Sun Fruit Punch.
It's refreshing and lucsciously thick and sweet with apples and blueberries with zero hint of cabbage. Cabbage is a lot like spinach. You can't tell it's there. Sneaky! So give it a try. What do you have to lose?
Blueberry Cabbage Juice
Ingredients
- 2 cups red cabbage roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 2 cups cucumber
- 1 apple core removed, peeled and roughly chopped
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a juicer. Pour juice into a glass, add a handful of ice cubes and enjoy!
- If you do not have a juicer, place all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth, then place a mesh strainer over a bowl and pour blended juice over the strainer. Discard the pulp and pour juice into a glass.
Notes
- My Amazon shop has more products similar to those used for this recipe and that I recommend to my nutrition clients.

I'm not a fan of blueberries, do you think there's anything else I can use in place of them?
Megan says
I'd try a different berry or cherries.
Sarah @ Making Thyme for Health says
I would have never thought to make juice with cabbage but now that I see it, I want some, haha! It looks so good. I love the deep purple hue and I bet you feel like a million bucks after drinking it!
Megan says
Oh yes! It's so refreshing and gives the juice a lot of bulk and color obviously. It always gives me a little boost of energy when I drink it.
Lindsay Cotter says
What a gorgeous color! Can't wait to try this!
Megan says
You will love especially on those hot TX days!
Courtney Bentley says
WOW this looks delicious and that COLOR is drool worthy! xo C
Megan says
Thanks Courtney!
Blair says
Wow -- it's definitely beautiful! I trust when you say I won't taste the cabbage...
🙂
Megan says
I couldn't taste it. I tastes mostly like apples & berries.
Michele @ Paleo Running Mommai says
I try to find that balance between what I like and what's healthy! Truthfully it's tough to force anything solely for health benefits. Kind of wish I had a juicer now!
Megan says
I couldn't agree more!
rachel @ athleticavocado says
That color is stunning! This sounds very interesting but totally delicious, I need to try this!
Megan says
It's very sweet and refreshing!
Susie @ SuzLyfe says
I give zero f's about food trends. I am thinking about exploring collagen a bit more, though. But that is to come in a post. This actually sounds quite good!
Megan says
I do the peptides daily. It's worth trying!
