Squeezed or blended tangerine juice – Recipe

There’re 2 easy ways to make this drink.

• Squeezed: cut the tangerines in half, extract their juice with a citrus squeezer or by hand and serve the result in a cup, making sure there’re no seeds left in the liquid. Optional: you can remove the seeds with a filter or strainer.
• In a blender: peel the tangerines with a knife or your hands, carefully remove the seeds and blend until smooth. With this method you’ll take better advantage of the available fiber.

To keep in mind: You can mix / blend the drink with half a cup of water, to make it more liquid, or milk, to obtain a creamier result.

What’s tangerine juice good for? – Benefits

This fruit and its juice include some positive aspects.

• Its combination of fiber (especially if blended), water (85%), potassium (166 mg per 100 g) and antioxidants (such as vitamin C and beta-carotene, which gives color to the food) may help with stomach cleansing, body detox and circulatory health.

• On the other hand, its antioxidants, vitamin A, folate, water and more nutrients may protect the body and boost defenses.
• 1 medium tangerine (88 g) has only about 46.6 kcal, so its juice may work in diets to maintain the caloric deficit and lose weight. Especially if you prepare it with water (or plain) instead of milk. You can learn more in our post about juices to lose weight.
