Taste of Home: Homemade fresh fruit juices

There is no better way to refresh us from the scorching heat, rejuvenates the lost energy and stay hydrated than shaking up superb juices at home. So my family and I indulge ourselves by mixing up different kinds of fruits and vegetables with herbs and spices and zing and enjoy a glass or two of nature’s energy booster every day in the comfort of our home.

We realized that juicing is an amazing way to add nutrition into our diet. It’s very delicious and refreshing, and it’s loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber. We actually love the combination – strong flavor of nutrient-rich green and sweet taste of delectable fruits – it’s sooo good, and good for us too. Plus, the more fruits I put into it, the more luscious our juice becomes. We gulp it down at any time of the day – breakfast, after-school snacks – at any time we feel thirsty.

Since it has been 3 years now that we are making and drinking homemade fresh fruit juices and on our third year of not buying any fruit juices from the supermarket, I would like to share with you some of our favorite mixtures and blends. There’s certainly unlimited ways you can mix up fruit juices at your convenience and start up your day by drinking your minerals.
