The juice classics come in the fall

Whether crispy fresh apples or juicy yellow pears, fruit – whether fresh or processed into juice – is a reflection of the concentrated diversity of nature. And pome fruit has it all, in the truest sense of the word, and in the fall the juice classics …

Juicy nuances in the fall

Hardly any other fruit can boast such a wealth of different flavors, from juicy-sweet to tart-sour. In addition to its delicious taste, it is also nutritious and healthy. Apples and pears contain important minerals such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron and phosphorus. The Berlepsch, Ontario and Boskoop apple varieties are particularly rich in vitamins.

But apples and pears are not only packed with vitamins. Due to their high water content of 85 percent, they are one of the foods recommended for maintaining a balanced fluid balance. The human body needs approx. 2.7 liters of fluid per day in order to function optimally. Approx. We should drink 1.5 to 2 liters of it. If water-rich foods are on our menu, they are not only juicy and refreshing, they also help us to maintain our fluid balance. If we drink a glass of water every day before breakfast, it stimulates our metabolism, gets our digestion going and replenishes our water reserves, which have dried out during the night. If we then eat an apple for breakfast, it gives us an additional fluid boost. And especially in the morning, when the In addition to the glass of water, the other ingredients in apples are also very helpful.

The good in the bowl

Whether you eat the apples or drink them as juice, it is important not to take away the most valuable part of them before eating – their skin. Although this is not as tasty as the flesh of the apple, it is packed with nutrients that promote healthy digestion and can prevent the build-up of fat deposits. Apple pectin is mainly found in the skin of the apple. This not only protects the arteries, but also ensures that the food consumed is broken down more easily, so that constipation occurs less frequently and the food is optimally utilized.

If you want to make the most of apple pectin, you should eat fresh, unpeeled (organic) apples or use them as an ingredient in smoothies. The latter have the advantage that, in addition to the liquid from the apple and the other fruit they contain, they provide the body with a further liquid bonus thanks to the added water. Apple juice, on the other hand, hardly contains any apple pectin; it remains in the pomace.

Convertible superheroes, whether as juice, smoothie or potato chips

Apple potato chips in particular still contain valuable fiber – including the healthy apple pectin. So if you want a healthy snack, apple or pear potato chips – another classic dried fruit – are a good alternative. It is important to ensure that you drink enough, preferably (mineral) water, with dried fruit and fruit and vegetable potato chips. The fiber ingested with the chips swells in the intestine – if we do not provide them with enough liquid for this, the opposite of the desired effect occurs: Water is removed from the intestine, resulting in constipation. If meals are replaced by dried apples or pears, this should be taken into account in the amount of liquid to be drunk.

A tasty snack of dried apples and pears can be wonderfully rounded off with a apple and pear smoothie , which provides a good portion of liquid.

For this you need:

Apple and pear smoothie

1 Apple
2 pears
1 tbsp lemon juice
10 lemon balm leaves
250 ml milk
250 ml water

Wash and quarter the apple and pears and cut out the cores. Cut the fruit into pieces and place in the blender. Now add the washed lemon balm. Pour in the lemon juice, milk and water and blend until smooth. This is a quick and easy way to turn the classic juice into a smoothie classic in the fall.


Inexpensive, juicy, good

If you eat them fresh or drink them processed into a delicious smoothie, they are not only tasty. They are also healthy and help our bodies stay well hydrated. So the juice classics are real superheroes, especially in the fall.
