Juice boost!
Enjoy our thirst-quenching collection of tasty, good-for-you drinks, all easily and quickly prepared on a hot summer's day. One more thing: they're a delicious way to sneak some healthy fruits and veggies into your family!
Juice extractor tips
• Wash fruit and vegetables well.
• Avoid any produce with bad spots.
• Peel fruit with hard or inedible skins, such as oranges, lemons, mangoes, melons and pineapples, before juicing.
• Pit fruit with stones, such as nectarines, mangoes, plums and peaches, before juicing.
• Juice the smallest ingredients first so the larger ingredients that follow push them completely through.
• Refrigerate produce before juicing to have chilled juice. Otherwise, add one or two ice cubes to juicer.
• Drink juice right away, because it begins to oxidize and change colour as soon as air gets to it, and vitamins and minerals start to deplete.
