Keep your cool this summer with a refreshing melon juice. There are many choices you can pick from the melon family, to name a few, Cantaloupe, Honeydew and Watermelon.

Melon is a common name given to various species of the Cucurbitaceae family with fleshy fruit.

Melon juice can be prepared using a blender but my personal preference is to use Champion Juicer. Champion Juicer extracts the clear melon juice very well and expels the pulp without any further straining whereas the blended melon juice tends to be a bit more fibrous and that’s not ideal as a thirst quencher.

Before juicing melon, it is always a good practice to wash the melon thoroughly as the skin of the melon may contain harmful bacteria pathogens such as the salmonella. Cut away the skin and slice the melon into segments small enough to feed into the feeding chamber of Champion Juicer. Discard all seeds where possible. Feed the segments one after another at a steady speed into the Champion Juicer to avoid any unnecessary heating up.

Always chill your melon before juicing if you want an instant cool melon juice as Champion Juicer is capable of maintaining the temperature of the chilled melon due to its low Rpm.

Cantaloupe juice is a good source of polyphenol antioxidants, which is essential to maintain healthy cardiovascular system and immune system. Cantaloupe juice also provides excellent vitamin C and beta carotene.

Champion Juicer is known to produce high quality Honeydew juice. Honeydew juice contains high Vitamin C, B6, folate, pantothenic acid and potassium but low in sodium. Honeydew juice also helps to overcome high blood pressure, skin disorders and other related problems of the circulatory system.

Watermelon juice is effective in clearing water retention problem in your body. It is mildly diuretic. Watermelon juice’s red pigment signifies the presence of Lycopene. Lycopene is a red carotenoid pigment and phytochemical found in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables. When extracting watermelon juice using Champion Juicer, it draws out the rich vitamins A, B6 and C as well as potassium from the fruit.

Do experiment with different types of melon juice using Champion Juicer and enjoy a cool summer nutrient packed juice that expels body heat.

Caution: consult your health practitioner before consuming sweet melon juice if you suffer from diabetes. In fact, if you are brave enough to try out Bitter Melon juice (commonly known as Bitter Gourd juice), it is proven to help regulate blood sugar in diabetes sufferer. Bitter Melon is also a member of the melon family.

Clean the Bitter melon thoroughly under running water, segment longitudinally. Feed segments through Champion Juicer with its seeds in tact.

Having said so, the addition of certain fruits in the raw vegetable juices made by Champion Juicer is beneficial. It broadens the nutrition spectrum in the juice and enhances its overall taste as well.

My top pick of fruits are mainly citrus fruits such as, oranges, grapefruits, lemons, lime and tangerine. These citrus fruits contains high vitamin C which is a high detoxifying and cleansing agents. Their fructose content are relatively lower as compared to other sweet fruits. Citrus fruits may be added to carrot, cucumber, celery, beets juices to make excellent juice. Always alternate the vegetables with the juicy citrus fruits when pushing them into the Champion Juicer. This helps to extract the hard vegetables more efficiently.

Other fruits which can be added to the vegetable juices are, star fruits, pineapples, green papaya, green apples and guava.
