Great Tips for Juicers

The best recipes for juicing are created using a juicing machine. I often hear of people making juice using their blender. However, making juice using a blender will not be as good. We all know that a blender and a juicer are different and they perform different purpose. With a juicer, you can easily extract the liquid juice and dispose its pulp. While a blender can also produce a juice but will not separate the pulp from the juice. In addition, a blender is not capable if producing the high quality juice that you are looking for. If you are going to make a juice from hard or stringy vegetables like carrots, beets, or celery in a blender, its mixture result will be gritty instead of being like a juice that you want.

The blender still has its place, but leave it for making smoothies or other drinks. In fact, you could make delicious smoothies using the juice that you create in the juicer and mixing it with yogurt, ice, frozen bananas, etc. This will produce smoothies that have a high nutritional content. This is especially good for children because you can disguise many of the vegetables they may not like.

Juicing is a lot of fun and creating recipes for juicing is very easy. Just use your imagination; you can't really make a mistake. At first you may try typical fruit based drinks with a couple of veggies thrown in for the nutritional benefits. As you continue to try different juices, you may discover that an entirely vegetable based juice is sweet and delicious too. It is amazing how many different types of vegetables you will end up enjoying when they are juiced. Also remember, that if you desire a little extra sweetness, an apple thrown into any juice will make it sweet.

After a little trial and error, you will discover your favorite juices. If you have children, get them involved in the process as well. Kids love to choose the fruits and veggies and they especially love watching it get pureed and come out as juice. They may not eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, but if they are involved in creating these recipes for juicing, they tend to drink it all.

If you are a beginner at juicing, there are some things that you need to know how to achieve best juice. First, avoid juicing avocados and bananas because they are very soft and it can also clog your juicer, plus they contain very little juice. You may discover that certain vegetables and fruits don't have a lot of juice in them and require a lot of them to gain an adequate amount of juice. This can become expensive. With those "dryer" fruits and veggies, use other juicier ones to bulk up the juice and make it go farther.

Another thing you need to know is that many vegetables and fruits can be juiced as a whole in manageable pieces and with their skins left on. However, with citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruit, etc, you need to remove the rind. The rinds of citrus can be very bitter and will ruin the juice.

Let yourself to be creative and don't worry too much about making mistakes and experiment with all the different flavors you like. Start off juicing two or three different fruits and vegetables. Juicing offers your body a huge amount of benefit and will help you to stay healthy. Vegetables are responsible for healthy muscle, tissue, glands, and organs. Because the fruits and vegetables are raw, many of the nutritional qualities remain in tact and you can consume the majority of their nutrients.
