<p>One cup fresh blueberries, one cup fresh strawberries, two cups chopped mango and 1/4 cup water can give you a refreshing kick in the dry hot summer. Blend until smooth, strain juice, to get your very own healthy, invigorating Blueberry Mango juice.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Experts say more number of fruits and vegetables can be consumed in liquid form. A glass of carrot juice is equal to two to three pounds of carrots. Just imagine how much your jaws would hurt if you had to munch on all those carrots! Metrolife spoke to experts to bring you tips on a few such drinks you can easily make at home. <br /><br />Chef Bharat from Sufiaana by Cherish says, “The summer baby cucumber is the best ingredient to beat this scorching heat. A whole juice of orange, grapefruit and cucumber is very light, refreshing and delicious and a wonderful drink to start your day with. The orange helps to sweeten the grapefruit and the cucumber adds a crisp, clean flavour to the mix. This is an excellent juice for detoxing as both grapefruit and oranges are powerhouses when it comes to cleansing the body.”<br /><br />Master Aminder Singh, fitness expert at Anytime Fitness says, “A power-pack juice, post your workout can help you in building muscles. You can have fresh apple and orange juice with a few almonds. The protein in almonds help build and repair muscles. Plus, it balances your electrolytes and fluids and the natural sugar in fruits gives an instant boost. For summers, try to have lychee juice infused with coconut water to keep yourself hydrated and energetic throughout the day.”<br /><br />But the best perhaps, would be every home’s favourite -- aam panna. Chef Gurmeet Singh, Pind Balluchi says, “Aam Panna made from raw mangoes should be served chilled. This ‘chat-pata’ juice is excellent for dealing with a heat stroke.”<br /><br />Sonu Negi, chef from Smoked Biryani House, shares his special aam panna recipe with Metrolife readers. He says “it’s an easy-to-make new age aam panna and it is called the Rapchik Mango. It goes down really smoothly!” <br /><br />n In a jar put two scoops of vanilla ice cream<br />n Add 3-4 mint leaves, 15 ml coconut syrup <br />n Add 150 ml mango juice<br />n Blend it well<br />n In a glass put ice and <br />coconut powder<br />n Then pour the mixture into the glass<br />n Garnish it with mint leaves.<br /><br />So, how about taking this ‘juicy’ advice seriously and beating the summer woes. Remember, juices are an easy way to reach the daily target of vegetables and fruits.<br /><br /></p>
