November 15, 2024 / by Louigi Balao / 3 mins read

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can seem challenging, especially with how fast our day-to-day can be. You wake up, eat, and zip out for work or school, sometimes missing the necessary healthy vitamins. One simple and effective way to ensure you get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals is by making fresh, delicious juices at home that are ready to grab on the go! 

 

 

The Philippines is abundant with lovely fruits, and you can choose from a wide range of options. Stick around because you can whip up three easy and healthy juice recipes. 

 

Mango and Pineapple

Mangoes are normally known to be super sweet, while Pineapple is known to be a hybrid of both. This tropical juice is a perfect way to start your day because it is rich in vitamin C, while the pineapples are packed with bromelain, an enzyme that helps digestion. 

 

Cucumber and Calamansi Refresher

The Philippines is known to be humid, so you would need a drink that can hydrate and refresh. Cucumbers are high in water content, while Calamansi is that kick of flavor you may need. If you are looking for a mellow drink that is easy to prepare, you can try it out! 

Like the drink above, you just need one large cucumber, three calamansi fruits, half a cup of water, and a healthy tablespoon of honey; feel free to add more if you want extra sweetness. Blend it all together, and you have a great chilled mix that can also be drank at room temperature—serene! 

 

Malunggay and Apple Juice

This may not appeal to everyone, but to those curious enough to try it, this drink is highly nutritional—a powerhouse of nutrients. This drink will mainly consist of Malunggay leaves, about a cup worth, and two apples for a little flavor. 

Simply blend them all together and add water. This drink is best served hot; you can add a little bit of lemon to make drinking it easier. Remember that this drink is best consumed immediately instead of sitting idle in the corner of the room.
