- Make the right choice. Be creative. Vegetable juices are healthy but, you might not like them on your first try. You will need to select your ingredients to prepare some delicious and healthy juices. Be careful about the ingredients. Juices are rich in vitamins such as vitamin C, A, B, E, and K. Vitamin C and B are more likely to be digested quickly while the other vitamins are digested slowly. Some juices might leave you feeling hungry and craving for more. More cravings can result in weight gain. In such cases, you should include some pulp and fibers in your juice to stay filled for long time.
- Find the best combination. Before, you can select a few juice recipes; you will need to find your juice recipe. You might enjoy fruit juices but, you may dislike vegetable juices. You can start with some easy recipes i.e. orange/ strawberry juice and then keep on adding green veggies along with pepper or cinnamon.
- Drink quickly. If you do not like drinking many glasses of juice, the best idea can be to drink the juice quickly. When the juice is extracted, fruits immediately start to lose minerals. So, hurry up, drink the juice quickly. It is more refreshing and tastier.
