Nothing beats a tall glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. It’s the perfect breakfast drink, afternoon treat, or liquid for blending smoothies. If you’re not juicing your own orange juice – this will convince you otherwise!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh squeezed orange juice is full of refreshing flavor and loaded with essential nutrients, especially vitamin C. Commercial juices just don’t cut it when compared to fresh orange juice, they’re expensive, have a bitter taste, and they’re often pasturized, meaning delicate nutrients get lost in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh squeezed orange juice is a better alternative. It’s loaded with sweet flavor and living nutrients, not to mention that rich orange color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juicing oranges is surprisingly easy, and often it’s more cost-effective than buying commercial juice. The best part about juicing your own orange juice is that you know exactly what’s going into your juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven’t tried orange juice with other citrus fruits then you’re really missing out! I particularly love blending grapefruit or lemon and lime juice in with my orange juice, as this will add tart flavor and character to your juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
