It is a simple and easy homemade juice made with Oranges, Apples, Grapes, Lemon and Kiwi. This Juice is fully loaded with nutritional values and taste.
In India, summer is really hot and when the sun is on top, it becomes difficult to digest our daily homemade food. In this situation several types of juices fills the quota of food and prevents our body from dehydration.
This Juice is healthy and provides a variety of vitamins and minerals. I love to have some fruits or fruit juice in between my lunch and dinner, because it helps fill the stomach and satiate the slight hunger in between meals and prevents me from reaching other high calorie food.
Personally I do not prefer to buy commercial juices which are mostly loaded with preservatives, artificial sweeteners, coloring and what not. Most of the outside juices are even heavily processed. I like to make juice from fresh fruits. Nothing tastes better than freshly squeezed juice and we can be sure there are no added preservatives or sweeteners.
Oranges is one of my favorite fruits and I use it in good quantity in my mixed fruit juice. Oranges are great for the skin as it is packed with antioxidants and Vitamin C. Eating oranges or drinking a glass of orange juice everyday gives a clear and glowing complexion. It also helps improve your immunity.
The health benefits of oranges are many and I do not want to bore you with all that, so quickly let’s start making my healthy, tasty and homemade Mixed Fruit Juice.
