The Everyday Miracle Juice

This has been my morning miracle juice for 20 years. It's simple, versatile, easily available, and very affordable.

What Does it Contain?

It's all vegetable - Tomato, Beetroot (Chukandar), Indian Gooseberry (Amla), White Pumpkin (Ash Gourd, Petha in Hindi), Bitter Gourd (Karela) 1/4th, Bottle Gourd (Lauki), Carrot (Gajar), Lemon (Nimboo) 1/2, Sprouted Pulses.

That's to my taste and liking. Sprouted pulses add to the nutrition and half of a lemon enriches the taste. You may add whatever suits best to your taste.

How to Prepare?

The process is very simple:
  • Grade all or fine-chop the vegetables
  • Run them in a mixie with very little water in it
  • Course strain to make it as thick as you can drink
What's There for You?

Many people ask me about its nutrition value. Basically, it's about uncomplicating life and getting raw nutrition. And the drink is equal to eating 1 Kg of nutritious vegetables. When cooked nutrition is lost. This is raw. It not only gives you day long nutrition and micro nutrients, but also keeps your stomach alkaline in nature.

How Much Does it Cost?

It is so inexpensive for something that can keep away anaemia, and gives you natural vitamins. It's a fulfilling and invigorating health drink at sub-15 rupees. Here are the ingredients (minus sprouts and lemon, both are optional) that will last for at least 10 days. Prices as of 24/12/2015:
  • Max Fresh Tomato ₹31.50, Carrot ₹25.00, Beetroot ₹28.80, White Pumpkin ₹26.90 (1 kg each)
  • Bitter Gourd ₹34.20 500gm (2 pieces roughly 100gm will be enough for 10 courses), Bottle Gourd ₹24.40 600gm
