Juice Recipes: Juice-it-Yourself the Healthy Way

Who doesn't love fruit juices? Or vegetable juices? Juices are healthy. I would recommend those real fruit juices rather than powdered juices which are not actually came from fruits or vegetables. We can be easily deceived by commercials.

See below the time-saving steps from wikihow on how to make quick and easy juice recipes from a variety of vegetables and fruits.

Steps

1. Decide what types of juices interest you. It might be either fruit or vegetable, or both.
2. Find juice recipes. Research this site, books, magazines, online, or use a product like the "Juice Suggestor".
3. Start with one or two basic recipes and build from there.
4. Prefer organic produce. If possible purchase organic produce; it costs more but is definitely worth it in both taste and quality.
5. Use the "rainbow approach" for optimal health benefits. Mix different colored vegetables to get the widest range of nutrients.

Tips

• Prepare your vegetables once in the morning, or the night before and they will be available "on demand" throughout the day.
• If you are on a budget and can't go 100% organic, at least get organic with carrots, apples and other vegetables that are juiced with the skin on.
• Use a plastic bag (the ones the vegetables come in are perfect) as a liner for the discarded parts of the fruits and vegetables. It is easy to dispose and will save you clean up time.
• Juices can be made and kept fresh in the refrigerator for several hours.
• The taste is best when room temperature.

Warnings

Never look directly into the opening of the juicer when running.

Only use the plastic plunger to press the vegetable down into the juicer (other objects such as spoons and knives can cause injury or damage the machine).
