In our world full of preservatives, flavor enhancers, colorings, and E-components, homemade summer delicacies are making sense again, and they are also nutritious. These homemade drinks - fruit juices, smoothies, or even vegetable juices - provide our bodies with the natural vitamins and antioxidants of the given season. Not only is their taste inimitable, but they also protect our health, as they do not contain artificial additives or added sugar.

Many people think that the “100%” fruit juices available in the store are a healthy alternative, but the reality is more nuanced. Most fruit juices are made by pasteurization, which means they are heated to 60-90 °C to extend their shelf life. While this process makes the product safer, unfortunately, the valuable enzyme and vitamin content of the juice can be damaged by heat treatment.

When concentrate is used, it is first thickened and then diluted with water during production. However, due to the processing, not only the taste but also the nutritional content is greatly reduced - almost concentrated sugar remains. In contrast, freshly squeezed homemade juices offer a truly natural and nutritious alternative.

Homemade juice is not only tastier, but also healthier. Moreover, making it can be a real social experience. If you involve children in the process, they will not only learn how the drink is made, but they will also be more willing to drink it, since a delicacy made by their own hands is much more attractive to them. Summer is the ideal time to make fruit juices, as there is an abundant supply of fresh, juicy, vitamin-rich fruits. Let's see which are the most popular and healthiest fruit juices that can be made at home!

The most popular fruit juices

Melon

Yes, you read that right: you can make heavenly juice from melon! It's the absolute star of the summer, especially in July and August. Just cut it into cubes, throw it in the juicer or blender, and you've got a sweet, cooling drink with no added sugar.

Apple

Available all year round, in many variations: sweet, sour, green, red. It can be made even more harmonious with a little lemon juice, a little honey or natural sweetener. If you want something really special, add cinnamon or ground cloves. The autumn mood is guaranteed!

Pear

Its soft, creamy texture makes it a great base for fruit juice. Spiced with a little grated ginger, it's not only a sublime aphrodisiac, but also an energy-boosting vitamin bomb.

Orange

The king of vitamin C. It acts as a real shield for the immune system from autumn to spring.

Strawberries, raspberries and other berries

Combining these with lemongrass creates a uniquely fresh, refreshing drink. If you chill it well, it's guaranteed to brighten up even the hottest days.

To get the most out of your fresh fruit, it's worth using a reliable, efficient tool. The SAMMIC slow juicer is the perfect companion for making juices.

Because of the low-speed pressing, vitamins and enzymes are preserved, while the 3 different density filter screens help ensure that the final product is exactly what you dream of: whether it is a thick, fibrous or a soft, transparent drink. Moreover, the device is not only suitable for classic fruit juices, but also for specialties such as pomegranate juice.
