Juicing Apples for Health and Well-Being

I love juicing apples - apple juice taste great! Remember the old proverb "an apple a day keeps the doctor away". Maybe our parents knew something after all. Apples are full of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. Apples are one of the oldest and most loved fruits on our planet today. They are so delicious!



So why are apples supposed to be so good for your body? Because apples contain good things like - pectin and vitamin C. Apples contain antioxidants too. Many nutritionist believe that pectin has important health benefits. And everyone knows that vitamin C is important and necessary for your body on a daily basis.



Apples come in many varieties. Some are tart. Some are sweet. Almost all apples make great juice. Avoid apples that aren't fresh. However, the type of apple you select for your particular juice depends on your own personal taste. If you desire a really sweet apple juice - than try one these excellent and delectable apples: Red Delicious, Ambrosia or Golden Delicious. They are all excellent apples to for juicing.





I love juicing every type of apple alone or combined with other veggies and fruits.

Do apples mix well with other fruits or veggies? I'm glad you asked that question. Yes they do most of the time. In fact, many people prefer combinations of apple juice. Some of the more popular combinations include: beets, carrots and ginger. Some people even like adding a clove or two of garlic to their juice. It just depends on your own particular taste and preferences. One thing is certain - you will never feel the same way about apples again.



Can you save your apple juice for later? I can't see why not. However, be aware that the juice will rapidly lose its freshness. It will not have as many vitamins after it sits around. It sure will make a refreshing beverage for later though - even without some of its goodness.



What else can I do with apple juice? Why not add it to your smoothies. Apple juice blends really nicely with bananas, etc. It makes an EXCELLENT addition to most smoothies too.



Have I made you thirsty yet? No worries - below I have included some great recipes for delicious and satisfying apple juice. They are simple and taste great.



Apple Carrot Delight



One regular sized Red Delicious Apple and 4 or 5 medium carrots

It doesn't really matter what order you juice the items - just go for it and enjoy. It's not necessary to remove the apple core - your juicer will take care of this. However, it is important to clean you fruits and veggies before you begin juicing them. I find that fresh juice taste great out of a frozen mug or glass. The frozen glass will likely help to preserve the flavor if you drink your juice slowly.



* Your Apple Carrot Delight may be spiced up by adding a single clove of garlic.



Just be aware that it really can make the drink quite spicy - some like it and some don't.



Apple Carrot Celery Delight



One regular Golden Delicious Apple, two stalks of celery and 3 maybe 4 carrots



Beet Goodness



One regular apple (your choice)

Small piece of ginger (to spice it up and add some flavor)

One large beet cut into manageable pieces (pieces that will easily fit in your juicer)

1/4 of lemon



One stalk of celery - maybe to if the stalks are smaller

Juicing apples is a great way to begin juicing!
