Mealtime Magic: Spring Smoothies

Spring is here and it’s time to take advantage of some delicious seasonal fruits and vegetables. Citrus fruit, apricots, rhubarb, mint and parsley are at their peak right now.

OMEGA Juicers shares a few ways to bring these produce items into your kitchen through juicing. If you’ve never thought of drinking some of these ingredients, worry not, these juicer recipes are the perfect blend of ingredients so you enjoy every “good for you” sip.

Juicing is a great way to take in valuable nutrients without having your body word hard to break down the fibers. Through juicing, the food value is readily available to your body in larger quantities then when you eat the fruit whole. The benefits of consuming juiced fruits and veggies include keeping your heart, liver and kidneys strong and healthy.
