Let's start this healthy week of juice together!

The ingredients used are as follows: Bananas: Rich in dietary fiber, beneficial bacteria that promote intestinal digestion, and oligosaccharides. They are hunger-suppressing and perfect for breakfast. Apples: Rich in dietary fiber, and the peel contains polyphenols that have anti-aging properties. It is recommended to blend washed apples with the peel when making juice. As a primary ingredient in juice, apples greatly enhance the flavor. Komatsuna (Japanese mustard greens): Rich in calcium, vitamin C, carotene, and minerals. As an edible vegetable, its flavor is not particularly strong, and it is lower in calories than fruit, making it a common ingredient in juices. Yogurt: Rich in protein with skin-beautifying effects, lactic acid bacteria that promote intestinal digestion, and calcium that combats fatigue. Its smooth texture and just-right tartness make it ideal for juice. Honey: Its rich sweetness provides a strong sense of satisfaction. If you prefer a sweeter juice, you can increase the proportion of honey, but be aware that one teaspoon of honey contains 21 calories, so don't consume too much.

Adding thickeners, acidulants, or sweeteners to fruit juice can make its flavor richer and more complex. Some ingredients, when mixed directly, can negatively affect the texture of the juice. For these types of juices, we recommend adding thickeners such as yogurt or milk, sweeteners such as honey, and acidulants such as lemon. Three auxiliary ingredients are introduced:

Thickeners: Adding yogurt, milk, and soy milk to fruit juice can make it sweeter and smoother. If you're already used to the taste of homemade juice, you can use water instead of these thickeners, reduce the amount, or even just taste the fruits and vegetables directly. Sweetness: Makes juice easier to drink. For some vegetable juices with unusual flavors, adding honey can soften the taste and make it more satisfying to drink. However, be careful not to add too much. Sourness: Also a flavor factor in fruit juice. Adding slightly sour lemon juice to some very bland or highly flavorful juices can balance the overall taste, resulting in a much better-tasting juice.

Here are some recommended thickeners, acidic and sweetening ingredients: Yogurt, soy milk, and cow's milk: Besides acting as thickeners, these three are also high in protein, promoting metabolism and contributing to healthy skin. The lactic acid bacteria in yogurt and the isoflavones in soy milk, which have estrogen-like effects, can be beneficial for weight loss and beauty. If you are concerned about the high calorie content of milk and yogurt, you can choose low-fat products.

Honey: Like white sugar, it can increase sweetness. However, honey contains trace amounts of minerals and oligosaccharides. When consumed in moderation, blood sugar levels rise slowly without placing an excessive burden on the body.

Lemons: can add a fresh sour taste and refreshing aroma to juice, are rich in vitamin C, can promote metabolism, and have beauty benefits.
