Had your fill of salads? Try juicing as a tastier alternative to achieve your daily allotment of fruits and vegetables. Here are a trio of winning combos that are both nutritious and delicious. To extract maximum juice, alternate feeding softer items like leafy greens and cucumber into your juicer with harder fruits and vegetables such as beets and apples. Following a good wash, many fruits and vegetables do not need to be peeled or cored before juicing.
