Pears have small amounts of vitamin C and copper, which boost the immune system to help fight free radicals in the body.  What makes the pear unique is that it contains the fewest allergens out of all fruits, meaning its one of the best fruits to stick with in your juicer recipes if there are concerns about fruit allergies.  Overall, pears have a decent variety of phytonutrients, though there are other fruits out there that pack in more nutritional content.   When buying pears, it is recommended that you buy organic, as they usually contain chemicals from being exposed frequently to pesticides.

Pears are a great source of fiber which studies have linked to a reduced risk of colon cancer.  Unfortunately, by juicing pears you will miss out on this fiber (unless you eat the pulp afterwards.)  Because of this, pears are a fruit better eaten whole than to be added to your easy juicer recipes, though this isn’t meant to detract you from juicing pears at all.

Pears have a gritty, even buttery texture which can make it problematic for juicing.  If overripe and soft, they will be a real pain for your juicer and essentially unjuicable.  You want to juice them when they are ever so soft, indicating that they are just ripe.

Try out these easy pear juicer recipes:

Pear Watermelon Juice

• 2 pears
• 1/4 watermelon

Apple Pear & Celery Juice

• 2 apples
• 2 pears
• 2 celery stalks

Pear Orange Soda

This is one of the juicer recipes I have been experimenting with, so feel free to change it up.  When making it your first time, I suggest leaving out the ginger and seeing if you like the base.

• 2 pears
• 1 orange
• 1/4 inch ginger
• Seltzer

Pear Blend Juicer Recipe

• 2 pears
• 1 grapefruit
• 1 cucumber

One of the most notorious unjuicables is the banana.  Bananas are too soft, and contain little juice compared to other fruits.  It is very difficult for a juicer to separate the little juice in the pulp.  This will cause your juicer to clog, and will leave a bunch of mush that is a pain to clean.  Bananas go great with many fruit juicer recipes, so it is unfortunate that you cannot throw it in your juicer.  However, if you have a blender handy, you can juice all the other ingredients separately, then blend the bananas with the juice.  You may or may not find it to be too much extra trouble though.

Avocados are another troublesome fruit.  They have a buttery texture that is very soft and contains very little juice, which will create a pasty mess to clean up.  Again, you can get around this problem with a blender, but there are very few juicer recipes that need an avocado anyway.

Leafy greens can be juiced, but depending on your juicer, it may not be worth it.  They contain very little juice, so it would take an auger juicer or a gear juicer to get the most out foods like spinach or broccoli.  Centrifugal juicers will have a tough time with leafy greens, though it will suffice for getting some greens in your juicer recipes.

Other produce include coconuts and mangos.  I have not ever tried juicing a coconut, but some sources say that you cannot juice a coconut.  Generally, mangos can be juiced, but it depends on how capable your juicer is.  Personally, I have never had a problem with mangos with my Omega 8005 auger juicer.
