When most people think of sweet potatoes, they think of eating cooked sweet potatoes vs raw sweet potatoes. Cooking them makes them easier to digest, however, juicing a sweet potato allows a compromised body to absorb nutrients better.
Sweet potatoes are loaded with health benefits which make it a fantastic juicing vegetable. Surprisingly enough, you can get quite a bit of liquid out of a sweet potato.
Also, they are naturally sweet thereby making them a great taste buds balancer. I enjoy consuming sweet potatoes because they contain many nutrients that are beneficial to my autoimmune condition.
This vegetable's vitamin and mineral content strengthens the immune system for disease-fighting protection and prevention. Its nutrients also are a great mood booster.
Along with the nutrients in this juice comes starch and sugar. Keep this in mind if you prefer a lower sugar content in your juices.

Loaded with Antioxidants
Vitamin C
This juice is loaded with antioxidants. Vitamin C is one of these antioxidants. The Vitamin C is mainly from the grapefruit and sweet potato, but you also get this vitamin from the celery and cucumber.
Vitamin C protects cells from free radical damage. This keeps the body safer from illness and disease. Also, this vitamin helps with iron absorption and is needed to make collagen. Therefore, skin health and wound healing also benefit from Vitamin C consumption.
Vitamin A
Another antioxidant in the juice is Vitamin A. Unlike Vitamin A which you receive from eating animal products, this vitamin is converted from the carotenoids present in the vegetable.
The liver stores a lot of the vitamin A that you take in. When the liver is compromised or struggling, Vitamin A levels or the way the body uses it can be affected. Statistics show that Vitamin A deficiency is rare. However, proper intake and usage may still be altered to some level.
Phenolic Acids
Phenolic acids are powerful antioxidant compounds that are important in disease prevention, proper neurological functioning, and a healthy metabolism. Juicing a sweet potato allows the body to absorb these antioxidants that inhibit inflammatory conditions in the body.
Vitamin B Complex
Sweet potatoes are also plentiful in Vitamin B complex.
Vitamin B Complex helps with:
- Better correspondence between neurotransmitters
- Are important for healthy energy levels and cell functioning
- Promotes a positive mood and less irritability
- Helps the body handle stress better
- Aids nutrient distribution
- Reduces anxiety and depression symptoms
Iron
Sweet potato helps with iron absorption and uptake also. It is important for iron to be properly utilized by the body. This is because adequate iron levels are important for enzyme functioning and a healthy immune system among other bodily functions.
Can Help Regulate Blood Sugar Levels
The natural sugars in sweet potatoes are released slowly into the bloodstream. This helps to maintain a healthy blood sugar level. also, sugar regulation will help mood levels to be more stable and cause less stress on the body. A less stressed body is better able to fight inflammation.
Soluble Fiber helps digestion
Sweet potato juice contains some soluble fiber as well. Soluble fiber helps the body with digestion. This gives the body a chance to soak up appropriate nutrients and distribute them properly.
Benefits Offered from Other Juice Ingredients
The grapefruit, celery, and cucumber offer additional amounts of Vitamin C and A as well as Vitamin K. Blood sugar levels may further be helped by these other ingredients as well.
Your body will receive electrolytes from the grapefruit juice in this drink and additional antioxidants to further strengthen the immune system and fight toxins in the body.
Also, juicing turmeric is a great way to help the body with inflammation problems. It is known for providing sore muscles with relief as well as being beneficial for joint inflammation.
Lastly, the ingredients are high in water content and yield more juice output. The cucumber offers healthy skin benefits too.
These ingredients add a plethora of health benefits which create a more beneficial juice with a higher nutrient content. These nutrients are important for maintaining a healthy lifestyle and fighting the everyday stressors on the body.
Sweet Potato recipe
This sweet potato juice is tart due to the grapefruit. If you need a sweeter-tasting juice, consider adding 1/2 to 1 whole apple to the juice. An apple like cosmic crisp or honey crisp would be good choices.
