Lemon

{!firstname_fix}

The final ingredient that we would like to tell you about for juicing is lemon. Many 
recipes use lemon for added flavor, and to give their juice a little kick. It is good in sweet 
juices to settle that sweet flavor, but can also pair well with veggies like carrots and 
spinach.


Nutrients in Lemons

First of all, lemons have very good numbers as far as macros are concerned. A single 
serving of lemon contains under 30 calories, just 2.5 grams of sugar, and almost 3 
grams of fiber. For your nutrients, you will get lots of vitamin C, which is also an 
important antioxidant. You will also get a good dose of potassium, and some vitamin B6.


Health Benefits of Lemons

These nutrients provide you with a lot of health benefits when you add lemon to your 
juice recipes. The vitamin C helps to balance the free radicals in your body, boosts your 
immune health, and is great for your skin. There is also folic acid, which is wonderful for 
your heart. 

Adding lemons to your juice allows you to neutralize some of the more extreme flavors, 
especially when you have a lot of sweetness added to it. 


Ways to Use Lemons

The great thing about using lemon as an ingredient in your juice is that it works with just 
about any flavor combination you can think of. Here are some different ways to use 
lemon:

Make a tonic or detox juice – Lemon works great to flush toxins from your body, so it is 
often combined with ingredients to create a detox juice. This means adding in other 
detoxing veggies, like cucumber, celery, and carrots. 

Sweet and spicy – You can combine different flavors to really kick up the interest of your 
juice, such as by adding sweetness from apples, spice from ginger, and of course your 
lemon to balance it out. 

Keep it simple – if you’re looking for more of a simple option, try combining lemon with 
just one other fruit, such as blueberries.
