As with all cooking, the better your ingredients, the far better the
end result will likely be when you are juicing and blending. A
really well-flavored carrot or tomato will make a truly fabulous,
mouthwatering juice, even though watery specimens will produce
weaker, less well-flavored juices.
Fresh fruit and vegetables
Fruits and vegetables that are available to you seasonally will
taste best, but pretty a lot all fruits and vegetables may be
juiced.

Frozen fruit
Ready-frozen fruit is fantastic if something you want is out of
season. Either defrost them when making juices or use them frozen
for making smoothies.
Dried fruits
Dried fruits are great in smoothies and some milkshakes, but make
certain they're not too dry. If they're, soak them in some water,
juice or alcohol for a couple of minutes prior to making use of.
Canned fruit
As with frozen fruit, some canned fruits are great as an alternative
to costly fruits like lychees or out-of-season fruits like apricots,
although the real thing will constantly make the best drinks.
Bottled juices
For those of you with small time, it's a great cheat to have a
bottle of freshly squeezed orange or apple juice within the fridge.
Yogurt
Greek yogurt is the mildest and creamiest of all the yogurts and l
feel it makes the very best smoothie, but flavor is really a matter
of taste, so use whichever yogurt you like greatest. Vegans can use
non-dairy yogurt and enjoy any of the recipes in this book.
Ice cream and frozen yogurt
A simple vanilla ice cream or plain frozen yogurt is a wonderful
base for most milkshakes or frozen smoothies, but do play around
with a few of the wonderful flavors you can get nowadays, like
ginger and white chocolate, to make some actually exciting drinks.
Soya ice cream and frozen yogurt are widely offered, meaning that
those that steer clear of dairy products can still enjoy a thick and
creamy smoothie.
Ice
A well-stocked ice compartment inside your freezer is crucial when
making any drinks, specifically the frozen cocktails and thick, icy
shakes in this site.
Unhealthy Ingredients
Sugar syrup
You will require this when making a few of the alcoholic cocktails
within the last chapter; to prepare it, just stir 450 g (1 lb) sugar
into 475 ml (16 fl oz) water and place in a pan over a low heat.
Stir until the sugar is dissolved, bring to the boil and boil
rapidly for 4 minutes. Leave to cool, then place in a sealed
container inside the refrigerator and use as required.
Alcohols
Whether it be rum, vodka or tequila that's your drink of selection,
you will locate a fruity blend to go with it. Really feel totally
free to mix a couple of tablespoons of alcohol into any of the
drinks in this internet web site - you could discover your new
favorite party drink.
