Let’s face it, for most beginners to green juicing, the thought of juicing a bunch of green vegetables and drinking the resulting juice is not that appetizing or inspiring. When I started off on the green juice journey I admittedly created a few disasters. It soon became apparent that I needed to sweeten it up, but at the same time maintain and add to its nutritional value.

Here are my Top 4 Fruits to make Green Juice Taste Great:

Lemons

Consider adding one lemon to your green juice. Lemon’s taste sour on their own but adding one to a green juice can bring it to life and give it that unmistakable lemony, refreshing tang.

Lemons are also incredibly good for you and are packed with vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants. If you are juicing for health, it’s a no-brainer, add a lemon if it compliments your juice!

Make no mistake, this bad boy is a superfood and can help when treating many ailments.

Should you peel a lemon before juicing? Personally I don’t as much of the research I’ve not suggests not to and also I have a lemon tree in the back garden and I ensure that the lemons are organic. A good quality juicer will handle a lemon with peel in its stride.

Limes

Limes are also a fantastic option to add to your green juice. The zest of a lime will enhance the taste of a green vegetable juice.

Limes contain many vitamins and minerals and the health benefits are numerous.

Similar to lemons, I also juice limes with the peel on.

Apples

Apples are amazing for green juicing. They are sweet and refreshing and will transform the taste of green vegetable juice.

I normally at 2 but add more if you wish to sweeten it further. The saying, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”, is no coincidence. Apples are unquestionably superfoods with a whole array of health benefits.

I always core the apples and chop into 4 pieces for easy juicing

Carrots

OK carrots are not a fruit but they are a vegetable that produce a sweet juice and are complimentary in taste when adding to green juice. They can make the taste of a green vegetable juice more palatable.

Carrots contain a multitude of health benefits and are full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They are also beneficial is attaining optimum health and their properties assist in boosting the immune system and reducing the risk of illnesses.

It’s up to you, whether you peel them first. I normally do but it’s not essential. Unpeeled carrots have a kind of earthy taste which you may like but wash them first.

Enjoy the benefits of green juice.

Good luck! You’ll have fun experimenting.
