9 Tips  to Rainbow Juice!

  1. Peel Before Juicing

We peel citrus fruits before we put them in our juicer. The thick peels of citrus fruits will make our juice taste unpleasant, provide no real health benefit, and can even be harmful.

In all citrus fruit, there are several parts to the fruit. The outside skin is quite tangy. Just inside the outside skin is a soft membrane, also called white pith, between the outside and the sections where the majority of the juice is found.

The greatest benefit from citrus fruits comes from the white pith just below the peel, so be sure to retain that when juicing.

  1. Use Fruits and Veggies We Already Like

Money saved and knowledge of what really is in our drink is what makes juicing so awesome!

Starting a juice plan, we choose to make juices out of fruits that we already enjoy eating. This will ensure that we enjoy the juice while still receiving some health benefits.

If we start juicing using fruits we’ve never tried before, we may not like the juice and we’re unlikely to continue making them thereby abdicating the benefits.

  1. Reuse Pulp to Cut Waste

Reuse the pulp from our vegetable juices to cut down on waste. We can use vegetable pulp as a base for soups and stews, to add flavor and texture.

In addition, the pulp can be used as the base for a compost, which we can then use in our garden to grow even more healthy vegetables.

  1. Watch Oxalic Acid

Do not overuse vegetables that are high in oxalic acid. This acid is a contributor to kidney stones and can impact osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Vegetables that contain a larger amount of oxalic acid would include the following: rhubarb, char, beets and spinach. Use these in moderation and avoid mixing them with broccoli or other high calcium food.

  1. Rainbow of Colors

Let color be our guide for variety! That may sound humorous, however the colors often determine the vitamins and minerals contained in that fruit or vegetable.
