Many of us can get vegetables into our diet. When we have dinner, we almost always have some kind of side dish that is made of vegetables. When we have steak, we have broccoli on the side, or when we have fish we have parsnips on the side, etc. We also have vegetables for snacks, such as crispy corn salsa, avocado on toast, bell pepper fajita wrap, etc. But where we all struggle is fruit. Adding fruit to your diet is tough because they are usually very overpowering. Fruits are very acidic and they tend to give us a stomach ache if we eat too much of them. So, how can we have just enough fruit in our diet and have them every day? Why in drink form of course!

Kiwi and lime, with a twist

This one is simple and always a classic. However, you need to add a twist to this one to make it extra special.

3-5 kiwis, peeled
1 or half cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 cups water
Serve chilled
No sugar! The natural sugar from the fruits should be enough
Add pomegranate pieces *the secret ingredient!

Pomegranates are sour and sweet at the same time, so they will bring a little pop and crunch to your drink and yet, give your drink a little more fluctuation in flavor.

Apple and cinnamon

Spiced apple juice is a killer at parties and just for everyday life. We tend to think that spiced juices are for the fall and winter only, but this is nonsense! You can have this kind of drink any time of year, especially when you feel in the mood for a hit of cinnamon and just need an excuse!

5-6 thin slices of orange
1 or half a stick of cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (add to taste)
Lemon slices for decoration
4 cups apple juice
1 cup water (this goes a long way so be careful not to thin it out too much)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 lemon, sliced thinly

Ready to go

Sometimes you don’t care for making juices, you just want them ready to go. This is usually when you are having breakfast and just need a quick shot of some delicious juice so you can head out the door. The Fruit & Greens Drinks are just the ticket. Very easy to make, you just put the powder into a blender, song with some water or additional juice, and you just mix it all up. It's something you can also take to work with you if you have a small portable blender. The powder is fresh and made from real fruit. There's a high concentration of trace minerals and it's completely plant-based.

Juices are the most practical way to get fruits into your diet. They’re easy to make, easy to digest and they can be taken to work with you. Best of all, you know exactly what’s going into them. Make them at home and don’t buy them if you can help it.
