When should I take these juices?

Our first juice is packed with the goodness of beets and carrots and the sweetness of apples – ABC juice. Then we’ll prepare a glorious green juice. Each glass of it is packed with the nutrients of so many veggies. And finally, we’ll be making a Clean Carrot juice using a secret ingredient. What’s special about all 3 juices is that you can prepare them within 5 mins. You may be thinking – when should I take these juices? You can replace your evening tea or coffee with these nutritious juices.
If you do heavy exercise in the morning, then you can drink them for an energy boost after it. If you want to fast once a week to detox your body, then you can switch them up and drink them. And the next time you have guests coming over, offer them these juices instead of the usual tea or coffee. Keep in mind – all the juices we’ll be preparing today are nourishing juices. For detox, the best option is ash gourd juice, So come let’s start with our recipes. All the recipes can serve up to 2 people.

1. ABC juice:

First, we’ll prepare ABC juice, which is our apple-beetroot-carrot juice. For this juice, you need 1 apple, 2 medium beetroots, & 6-8 carrots. You can pick any carrot according to the season. This juice tastes great with both orange and red carrots. And finally, for flavor, we’ll add 1 small piece of ginger. First, we’ll cut all our ingredients like this so they can easily be added to the juicer. Have you ever looked carefully at a chopped piece of beetroot from inside? As rough as it looks from the inside, it looks as beautiful inside. Whenever I make this juice, I look at this piece of beetroot.

Similarly, chop your apple and carrots too. One by one, add all these ingredients to the juicer. Keep in mind that excess ginger will make your juice pungent & irritate your throat. So add only a small piece of ginger. For extra freshness, you can add a fistful of mint leaves too. You may be wondering which juicer we are using. We’re using a slow-pressed juicer. Look, there are 2 kinds of juicers – centrifugal and slow-pressed. The problem with centrifugal juicers is that they produce too much heat, and some of the nutrients may be lost because of this heat.

On the other hand, a slow-pressed juicer, also known as a cold-pressed juicer, slowly squeezes out the juice, which preserves the nutrients. But don’t worry about it. Use whichever juicer you want. If you don’t have a juicer, no problem! You can use a mixer. Just add all the ingredients and blend them. You can add some water if needed. Then using a thin cotton cloth, take out the juice like this. There you go! Our power-packed ABC juice is ready. This is an excellent post-workout drink, which you can have after yoga or exercise. Children or adults, everyone loves this juice.

Be careful not to add any salt, sugar, or chaat masala to it. Doing this drains away all its nutrition. For those of you who have diabetes, please avoid this juice. For them, we’ll be sharing a special juice further ahead in this video. We don’t drink our juices while following the Satvic lifestyle. We eat them! Didn’t get it? Before taking each sip, we squish it around in our mouth for 5 seconds so that it can mix with our saliva. By doing this, when it goes into our stomach, it can be digested easily. If we gulp down the whole glass at once, there’s no benefit we get from it.

2. Green juice:

 

Are you one of those people who, upon hearing the word “green juice,” think about a bitter juice you have to forcibly gulp down holding your nose? Don’t worry about it all! Today, the green juice we’re going to prepare isn’t like any ordinary green juice. We call it Glorious Green juice. It truly is a super tasty green juice. One glass of this juice gives you the nutrition of so many veggies.

To prepare it, you need 2 medium-sized cucumbers. If you don’t have cucumbers, you can use a small bottle gourd as well. you can take 3-4 celery stalks too. First, we’re going to take a fistful of spinach leaves, 1/4 cup mint leaves, 2 medium-sized apples. You can use pears instead of them too. And finally, one small piece of ginger. Roughly cut these ingredients. While preparing any juice, try to follow the 80-20 principle. It means you should use 80% vegetables and only 20% fruits.

Juices with more fruits are better suited for those who are trying to gain weight. If you want to maintain your weight or decrease your weight, please follow this 80-20 principle. After cutting them, add them to the juicer. Personally, I love mint leaves. They make every juice taste better. Be careful to add spinach and mint leaves along with your juicy veggies in between. Doing this will allow your juicer to function smoothly. You shouldn’t dump all the spinach leaves into it together and find that your juicer stopped working. You can add the cucumber with its peel on too if you want. If you’re using a blender to prepare this juice, then first add cucumbers to it so that the rest of the veggies can mix easily with it. These cucumbers already have so much water that you won’t have to add more water to this juice.

Finally, you can add some lemon juice to it. Not too much. Just 1 teaspoon. This will make it even tastier. There we go! Our Glorious Green juice is ready too. No one can even say that we added spinach to it; it tastes so sweet because of the apple.

3. Clean Carrot Juice:

 

Preparing this juice always reminds me of a sunset for some reason. I think this juice is like a sunset in a glass. To prepare this, we need 2 medium-sized carrots. You can pick either orange or red carrots according to the season. 2 oranges or mandarin, 1 small piece of ginger, & 3 cups of chopped papaya, which is our secret ingredient. Have you ever had papaya juice before this? No right? So come, we’ll make you try it! Like always, cut all your ingredients first.

This juice is a perfect option for winters because all its ingredients are available in the winter season.

The fruity fragrance of oranges, the shining color of carrots, the creaminess of papayas. I have a lot of fun preparing this juice. We’ll add all the ingredients to the juicer one by one. If you’re using a mixer, take out all the seeds of the oranges; otherwise, your juice will taste bitter.

Papaya will bring a little thickness to this juice, which makes it a really filling juice. Whenever we don’t feel like having fruits for breakfast, we take this juice instead. Come, we’ve prepared all our juices. But you may be wondering – what are we going to do with all this leftover fiber & roughage? You can add it as compost to your plants or even use it as a body scrub. We want to know how you use your leftover fiber.
