Are You New To Juicing? Start Your Juice Diet With Great Juicing Tips

By Greg Nelson


If you want an easy way to get more vitamins and minerals into your diet then consider juicing. If you find good recipes you can get all the nutrients that your body needs. Kids love juicing because it tastes good so even they will get the nutrients they need while still enjoying their food. This article contains tips on juicing from home.

Store your home made juice in a nontransparent, air-tight container with no extra space for air. To prevent extra air from ruining your juice, add filtered water to the top of the container, or use a food saver to remove the extra air. Fresh juice can be stored up to 24 hours.

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.

Keep all the tools you use in juicing, like your cutting board, knives, measuring cups, juicer, etc. together in their own place so you always know where they are. The one reason you won't continue juicing is because you're not keeping your things organized, leaving you feeling frustrated and overwhelmed.

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 it comes to serious juicing, one thing to keep in mind is the type of juicer that you want to buy. Some people say to avoid the centrifugal juicers because they are cheaper but end up either not being able to extract certain juices or not being able to retain nutrients from other ingredients. Masticating juicers work slower but they extract the most amount of juice possible.

Be open to trying fruit and vegetable combinations that you wouldn't normally consider. Start out with ordinary juices, such as carrot or apple, 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.
