As you walk the isle of the grocery store these days, you’ll soon notice the rows and rows of new juices readily available. What is all this juicy business? Well for starters, it’s an easy and d\u2019lish way to get your recommended daily allotment of fruits and vegetables, and not to mention lots of vitamins and nutrients.<\/p>\n

So what to do? Got the bucks to buy a bottle? It is pretty convenient to pop into a shop and pick up your favorite blend but over time it can be more expensive than your daily cup of joe.<\/p>\n

How about buying a home juicer? Making juice from home can be an investment in time and money up front but with a little planning it truly is the best way to enjoy a juice filled lifestyle and the fresher the\u00a0juice, the\u00a0better the\u00a0health benefits too!<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a favorite blend of mine that you can play with the proportions to fit your pallet. I suggest doing 3 parts veggie or root juice to 1 part fruit juice and any salty, spicy or sour juices should be added to taste.<\/p>\n

Beets ( In addition to being sweet and oh so pretty, they are high in antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory benefits)
\nCelery (It has a touch of natural saltiness, bright flavor, and it\u2019s a natural diuretic)
\nSlice of fresh ginger
\nApple
\nLemon Juice<\/p>\n

Want a powerful punch of antioxidants? How about whipping up a delicious Green Juice like this one from Sunkist<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Made with fresh squeezed grapefruit and orange juice, fresh pressed cider , ginger, and kale juice.\u00a0 Yum!<\/p>\n

Oh and did I mention that fresh veggie juices are great \u00a0as a mixer for cocktails too! That\u2019s right. The juicing trend is moving into Happy Hour. Here is one of my favorite cocktails for spring: Make it with your favorite gin!<\/p>\n

The carrot juice adds a subtle sweetness and a beautiful color, while playing well with the botanicals of the gin. Find this recipe and more at\u00a0www.liquidkitchen.com<\/a><\/p>\n
