When you prepare juice and smoothies
15 Simple Juice Tips For You
1. When you prepare juice and smoothies for parties earlier, pour a little juice in ice trays and place them in the refrigerator. During party time, you can use these juice cubes instead of ice cubes. If so, the juice won’t change in taste and sweetness. It gives an artistic touch to your juice glasses when served to guests.
2. Powder a little sugar and keep it in an air-tight container. It makes your lemon juice/juice preparation process very easy.
3. Juices are not exclusively reserved for fruits only. You can make healthy drinks using vegetables also. For diabetic patients, vegetable juices are the best. You can also try a combination of both fruits and vegetables to get variety and healthy juices.
4. Use only fresh vegetables and fruits to prepare juices. Even a single bad fruit chosen can spoil the whole drink.
5. Drink fresh juices as soon as they are made. Never forget to mix it well before you drink.
6. While preparing fruit juices, never throw off the filtered fibre. You can add it to homemade ice creams. Fibre left in vegetable juices can be used in soups.
7. The fibre left after filtering carrot juice can be used in the preparation of steam cake, upma or chapatis, and even dosas and idlis.
8. You can also add that fibre back to the juice. It’s rich in fibre and nutritious.
9. There is an easy trick to dissolve frozen juice concentrates placed in freezers. Add a little water to the concentrate and beat it in a mixer till it dissolves completely.
10. Using seasonal fruits to prepare juice and smoothies adds extra taste to your drink. It’s healthier too.
11. Serve juice and smoothies soon after you prepare. It tastes better when served soon after preparation, and it won’t lose vitamins either.
12. Smoothies taste better when served chilled. Instead of using ice cubes, you can use chilled curd, milk or fruits before you prepare smoothies. If you add ice cubes, the water content may increase.
13. If ice is already in the recipe of smoothies, powder it before putting it in the mixer. Otherwise, it can damage the jar blade. Put the ice cubes in a plastic cover and smash them before use.
14. Place the serving glasses in the refrigerator for some time before you serve juice and smoothies.
15. You can cut fruits into small pieces for easy grinding. But fill the mixer jar only halfway with both fruits and liquids.
