Family-Style Beverages
For summer coolers with healthy nutritional value try juicing fruits & vegetables, together or separately. Drink cold, or freeze for naturally delicious popsicles! Juicing is easy with a juicer (appliance) which will instantaneously extract juice, while removing smaller seeds & skin, with a minor amount of prep work, leaving nutrient-rich juices.
Purchase an affordable juicer to start with and make sure to use it at least weekly for maximum health benefits & extra summertime hydration for your family. Why not grow these fruits and vegetables in your own garden, to ensure toxic pesticides will NOT be ingested by your family?
Watermelon
Be sure to select non-GMO or unaltered varieties of fruits and vegetables for your family. Grow your own garden using only "Heirloom" seeds. Real watermelons and other plants are supposed to contain seeds as a natural phenomena, designed by our Creator for optimum health and nutrition.
Begin by rinsing and drying the watermelon, cutting it in half and then in sections with a large knife. Please take all safety precautions, as juicing can get messy and utensils can become slippery.
Cut fruit away from the rind in long sections to fit into the neck of the juicer.
Although it is acceptable to juice the rind right along with the flesh (for higher vitamin content) juice whatever you are comfortable drinking.
Discard unused portions into a compost pile (for garden fertilizer without chemicals).
Plug in and then turn on your juicer, feeding the long strips of fruit into the top neck opening. Always use the pusher tube for feed safety, while preventing juice from splashing up and out of the appliance (onto clothes, walls or ceiling).
Pour
by cupful into a pitcher until you have juiced the entire watermelon. Unplug the juicer, dislodge the pulp container, and then strain any remaining juice into your pitcher.
Repeat several times if necessary before discarding the seed-laden pulp.
Immediately rinse off all appliance pieces (separately) to remove sticky residue, and allow to dry before reassembling for storage.
Purchase these books for further health tips and year around growing instructions, because it's better to juice the organic fruits and veggies you grow at home!
