Juicing is the best way to incorporate minerals and vitamins into your diet. If you have kids it's also a great way to get them to enjoy their fruits and vegetables. You can make great tasting juice recipes that you and your kids will like. Keep reading to get great tips on juicing from home.

Always remember to wash your fruits and vegetables before you juice, also it's best to use organic fruits and vegetables whenever you can. Some people think that because it is going to turn into juice, they don't have to wash their produce. Just because it's liquid, that doesn't mean the chemicals on the peels are going to disappear. Clean your fruits and vegetables thoroughly before juicing.

Buy a juicer made of high quality. This is important if you plan to use your juicer regularly. A good juicer will make as much juice as you want, be easy to maintain and clean, and last a long time. Don't try to skimp on price or you might end up buying more juicers than you want to; bad juicers just don't stand the test of time.

Keep all your juicing tools like your cutting board, knives, measuring cups, juicer, etc. together in one place so that you always know where they are. One reason you might stop juicing is because you're not keeping your tools organized, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and frustrated.

There are a countless recipes of items to include in your juice recipes. You can try different combinations like apple with carrot and ginger, or celery and pear. My personal favorites are apple with lemon and pear, apple with cinnamon and honey, and, my daughter's favorite, banana with orange and mango. Try new ideas to find your own favorite!

When it comes to serious juicing, one thing to keep in mind is the type of juicer that you want to buy. Some people say to avoid the centrifugal juicers because they are cheaper but end up either not being able to extract certain juices or not being able to retain nutrients from other ingredients. Masticating juicers work slower but they extract the most amount of juice possible.

Be open to trying fruit and vegetable combinations that you wouldn't normally consider. Start out with ordinary juices, such as carrot or apple, but then get creative. Experiment with different vegetables and fruits. You can even use fresh herbs.

Juicing at home doesn't have to be expensive or time consuming. You can dramatically improve the way that you look and feel, and the way that your kids look and feel, just by juicing for one meal of the day. Work it into breakfast, lunch or dinner to make a the difference in the health of your family. Use the tips you read here to make juicing a reality.
