Introducing your family to freshly squeezed juice is a wonderful thing to do for their health.
Fresh juice made at home contains far more vitamin and nutrients than any commercial mix of juices, even the ones that claim to have added vitamin C and other ingredients.
Juicing at home is quite easy with an easily operated modern juicing machine, which can safely be used even by younger children.
If you can get your children to drink fresh juice, they will be at much lower risk of catching colds and flus, and will generally benefit from having more fibre in their diet.
The great thing about juicing fruits and vegetables is that it is much easier to drink, than it is to eat the equivalent amount of ingredients.
Not very many children I know get excited about raw carrot sticks in their lunches, but juice up carrots with apple and ginger and they will love it.
Some of the best combinations to try are mixing fairly sweet and well known favourites like apple in with vegetable juices, like carrot or celery, to cover the vegetable taste up.
Once they get used to it you can easily use more vegetables, but the trick is to make it taste "normal" at first! If your children are absolutely against vegetable juices, start on something more familiar, and just stick with fruit.
Start with sweet juices that everyone likes, such as orange juice (breakfast time is best for this) and apple or pineapple juice.
Best of all, try to get them involved so that they enjoy making juice with you - if they take part they will be more likely to drink the product.
In particular, consider investing in a orange juicer, which is a very simple and fairly inexpensive sort of juicer which is totally safe for children to use.
