How to Combine Fruits
and Vegetables to Create
Tasty, Healthy Juices
 Fresh juices contain lots of minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates and in some cases essential fatty acids and proteins that are all needed for the proper functioning of the body.
When we eat fruits and fresh vegetables like in salads and other forms, the body has to break down the fruits and vegetables and then extract the juices from them. However, if we already turn the fruits and vegetables into juices, they will provide the body with readily available and easily digestible nutrients.
Keeping acid base equilibrium of the body Besides providing nutrients and vitamins for the body, one of the things that fruit and vegetable juices offer is an acid-base balance that is optimum for the proper functioning of the body. The juices help to keep the body in a good balance that is essential for the proper functioning of all the other chemical processes that goes on in the body.
Combining fruits and vegetables to create healthy juices Most fruits have a sweet or sour taste, but that cannot be said of many vegetables that will have a mild to bitter taste. Many people will be comfortable with most fruit juices but just the suggestion of fresh vegetable juice (sometimes known as green juice) conjures unpleasant tastes to their senses. The trick in combining fruits and vegetables is to make sure that you balance the tastes so that they become pleasing to drink while nourishing your body. When combining fruits and vegetables to make juices, you will need to use your imagination and be creative. Everything is possible and the best way in succeeding to create something worthwhile is to be willing to experiment with different combinations until you get the right tastes and combinations that you can note for future use.

While juicing may remove the pulp and most of the fibers, you may sometimes want to have all the contents of the fruits and vegetables. This is best achieved by using a blender instead of a juicer to prepare the juice. The final result will be a thick pulpy mixture that should be consumed immediately.
