HendryTan Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 1. I was advised to cut down on beverage and started to switch more to juices.2. Need recommendation for fruit juice blend.Last week I have tried- Pure watermelon juice. I was told water melon helps to bring down fever.But pure watermelon juice (no ice) feels "jelaq" after half the cup.- watermelon and pineapple The next time I asked them to blend with pineapple. It had that taste of sweetness which I like.But somehow there was that tinge of "sharpness" on the tongue due to pineapple.- Avocado + milk.Love the texture. The hawker told me that it is good for facial too.But I think they are adding too much carnation milk.3. More recommendation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blissfull Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) I am not so sure why you want to drink them for, but I usually drink them based on their nutritional values.Apple : There for the subtle sweetness and tinge of sour. (Marvelous add to almost any juice!)Orange : Sour obviously, more effective for their Vitamins. (Add for that slight sourness and juicy vitamins)Kiwi : Very sour, but packed with vitamins. (Only if you are into very sour drinks or your pre-kiwi mix is too sweet)Banana : Depends on what you use, might get bitter sometimes. (Mostly with milk or solo, hard to mix bananas. Chocolate for that extra sweetness)Berries : Strawberries, cranberries, blueberries all are sweet and full of anti-oxidants/vitamins/many many goodness. And they are mostly sweet to boot, with a tinge of sourness.Papaya/Melon/Peach are good if you want subtle flavours, I don't exactly like papaya but I tried a mix with honeydew, the subtle melon taste is very refreshing.Durian and mango if you want exquisite fruit choices that are strong in taste, usually blended solo or mixed with milk.Exploring more than fruits, you can try carrots (most famous in the ABC [Apple, Beetroot, Carrot] mix), celery (I personally don't like the taste so I almost never tried).Can't think of anymore at the moment, try to mix and match and tell us which one taste great!

frederickgam Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Soy + banana? Not sure if they complement each other's nutritional value but taste-wise i love this combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HendryTan Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Tried a few Recommended fruit drinks these few days and share my own findings.I tried it at hawker centres all at $2.50 / cup with ice.a. Papaya + Honey Dew (Green)The papaya taste doesn't taste too good (as already warned by the author) in juice.The HoneyDew flavour did not come out.b. Watermelon + CeleryI think the hawker used too much celery. The drink essentially tasted celery.Wonder what the author meant when he said ... too much is bad for your broc. ABCTaste a bit raw due to the carrot. The apple sweetness is nice.Will likely try more apple juice.Those are my own taste so far, glad for more recommendation.Will be trying more of the above recommendations too.
