Juicing Tips For Your Juice Diet Plan

By Greg Nelson


If you are looking for a great way to work in extra vitamins, minerals, and fiber into your diet, or into the diet of kids especially, then look no further than juicing. Juice is a yummy way to convince kids to drink their vegetables. They will happily get their daily recommended amounts of nearly all vitamins and minerals. Read on for great tips about how you can juice at home.

Always remember to wash your fruits and vegetables before you juice, also it's best to use organic fruits and vegetables whenever you can. Some people think that because it is going to turn into juice, they don't have to wash their produce. Just because it's liquid, that doesn't mean the chemicals on the peels are going to disappear. Clean your fruits and vegetables thoroughly before juicing.

Buy a high quality juicer. This is very important if you want to juice regularly. A good juicer should make as much juice as you want, be easy to clean and maintain, and last a long time. Don't skimp on price or you could end up buying more juicers after the old one breaks down; bad juicers just don't stand the test of time.

Don't juice low-water content produce, such as avocado and banana. Put these through a blender first, then add them to your juice afterward. These types of fruits will produce a heavy, thick juice that will clog up your juicer. Also, it is difficult to get enough juice of this type of fruit alone, so it needs to be mixed with another type of fruit.

There are a countless recipes of items to include in your juice recipes. You can try different combinations like apple with carrot and ginger, or celery and pear. My personal favorites are apple with lemon and pear, apple with cinnamon and honey, and, my daughter's favorite, banana with orange and mango. Try new ideas to find your own favorite!

When you start juicing do your research on what kind of juicer you want to buy. Masticating juicers take longer to juice but they always get the most amount of juice possible. Centrifugal juicers are cheaper and work faster but it can leave the fiber juicy.

To get more out of your juicer be open to trying fruit and vegetable combinations that you would not normally try. Start out with basic juices, such as apple, carrot or cucumber, but then get creative. Experiment with different vegetables and fruits. You can even use fresh herbs.

Juicing at home doesn't have to be expensive or time consuming. You can dramatically improve the way that you look and feel, and the way that your kids look and feel, just by juicing for one meal of the day. Work it into breakfast, lunch or dinner to make a the difference in the health of your family. Use the tips you read here to make juicing a reality.
