When juicing it’s often recommended not to over use mix fruits and vegetables with the exception of pears and apples which work great as sweeteners and can be added to almost any juice, as well as citrus fruit such as lemon. Ginger and mint add a refreshing taste, although it may take a while for some to get used to, and gives a real energy boost.
Here’s some of the most common ingredients for healthy juicing:
General Fruits: Apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, grapes
Citrus Fruits: lemon, lime, oranges, grapefruit,
Tropical Fruits: water melon, honeydew, kiwifruit, pineapple, mango (s0me may find mango better blended in smoothies)
Berries: Strawberry, raspberries, blueberries (you may find you get more out of them by blending them)
