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.

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.

Reuse the pulp from your vegetable juices to cut down on waste. You can use vegetable pulp as a base for soups and stews, to add flavor and texture. In addition, the pulp can be used as the base for a compost, which you can then use in your garden to grow even more fresh vegetables.

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 juicing, one thing that you want to keep in mind is that the type of juicer that you will want to avoid are the centrifugal juicers. Usually these are cheaper but end up either not being able to extract certain juices or not being able to retain nutrients from other ingredients.

To get the most out of your new juicer be open to trying fruit and vegetable combinations that you would not normally consider. Start out with basic juices, such as 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.
