Guava Juice

-



Guava has an incredibly high content of vitamin C. In fact, one guava fruit contains four times more vitamin C than an average-sized orange; and ten times more vitamin A than a lemon!

Guava is an excellent source of fiber, almost 70 times more fiber than can be found in an orange! Other key nutrients are vitamins B2 and E, calcium, copper, foliate, iron, manganese, phosphorus and potassium.


2 guava
2 c. milk
3 Tbsp. honey

1. Peel and cut the guava in large pieces.
2. In a blender, combine all the ingredients.
3. Cover and process for 1 or 2 minutes.
4. Strain into chilled glasses.
