Juicing with Fall Fruits and Veggies

Juicing has become a wonderful way to add more fruits and veggies into your diet and 
have simple meals or snacks with nothing more than produce, herbs, and liquids. Entire 
diets have been based around juicing and many appliances have been created over the 
years to help to streamline the process, but what kinds of fruits can be juiced, and are 
there special recipes that you can use during the holiday seasons? The following 
information is going to show you how you can use classic fall produce for holiday juice.  

The Balancing Act 

When it comes to juicing fruits and vegetables. One of the most important rules that 
should be headed is the rule of balancing fruit and vegetable juices. The logic behind 
this, is that the sweetness of the fruit juice should be diluted by a vegetable juice so that 
your body isn't experiencing any sort of blood sugar spikes, or can at least manage 
them in a health way. That is why more juice drinks will pair citrus like orange juice with 
carrot juice. This can also make sure that the nutritional content of the juices can be 
used more efficiently by the body.

Pumpkin 

Some people might forget that pumpkin can be juiced because of its relation to gourds, 
but pumpkin is an excellent candidate for juicing. It can be mixed with apples, and pears 
and is an excellent source of essential trace minerals, but it should be noted that the 
seeds should be ground and left in the juice with some pulp for the absolute best 
nutritional load, so for some, a smoothie might be a better option for pumpkin.  

Ginger

This powerful antibacterial root has been used for much of human history, and it adds a 
great flavor to anything it’s used with when used properly. You can easily drop this in 
with pumpkin, apples or pears to create a wonderful mix of fall flavors. 

Leafy Green Veggies

These types of veggies are very useful and tasty when juiced and mixed with strong 
sweet juices. Kale pairs well with pears and apples. You can also mix it with citrus to 
take down the bitterness.

Cucumber  

This makes a great base for the addition of sweet fruits. Cucumber can also help 
remove excess fluids from the body. Try pairing it with citrus like oranges and limes and 
serve with ice for a refreshing juice drink.
