Summer may slowly be coming to a close but that doesn’t mean the fruity recipes have to go too. 95% of vitamins and other nutrients our bodies need are found in the juices of fruits and vegetables. By drinking the juices of those raw foods, we’re allowing those nutrients enter our body and our bloodstream quicker than if they were ingested in their whole form. 

You can mix and match as much as you like when it comes to juicing, which I personally think is the cool thing about it. If you’re someone who’s afraid of doing that due to the fact that the flavors may not compliment each other, and the juice can end up looking and tasting disgusting, no worries because below we’ve got 10 recipes that are sure to make your taste buds happy.

If there’s one thing that I love about summer, besides lounging at the pool, it’s taking road trips with my friends. The best summers are the ones where you’re all packed up in a SUV or van, a cooler in the back, feet on the dashboard, and checking to see where the road takes you.
