All through July I am posting ideas for reducing plastic in our lives. These are small swaps and purchases you can make that will make a big difference to the earth 🌏 and often to your hip pocket 💰 too!
#plasticfreejuly Swap Number 12
🍊 \\ make your own FRESH JUICE // 🥤
While I don’t recommend consuming juice, this month we’re all about the plastic and many juices come in plastic containers.
Why not do freshly squeezed juice at home? It tastes much better than the bought stuff! And you can mix it up. Tradition apple 🍏 or orange 🍊 a little lemon is nice with ginger 🍋 cucumber is refreshing 🥒 carrot is great 🥕
What’s actually better than juice is eating the whole fruit. Because you get the fibre and all! Fibre can actually slow down the absorption of the sugar. It’s the way we were meant to eat fruit! But if you still must drink juice (sugary fruit water) then please consider the packaging.
