What Type Of Juice Is Best For Smoothies?
Many people enjoy smoothies with low sugar and no artificial sweeteners. But the flavor profile can vary depending on the type of juice you choose from. One popular choice for smoothies is fresh squeezed juice. Not only does it have less sugar than bottled juices but, most importantly, retains all of its nutrients. That said, not all fresh squeezed juices are created equal; some contain much more sugar than others, with the result being a different and higher level of sweetness. The best option is always fresh squeezed – simply squeeze the juice yourself into mason jar or glass container. However, bottled juices are rarely the end all be all in terms of taste. There are those that do taste better, while there are others that might leave you with a bitter aftertaste when added to beverages and foods such as hot chocolate, lemonade, cookies, sodas, cakes, and desserts like blueberries, cranberries, pineapple, raisins, dates, walnuts, etc. We have listed the types below, along with our recommendations on whether bottled or fresh is better for consuming sugar and calories.

Tips For Sautéing Potatoes Inside Their Vein
I am a big advocate of sautéing potatoes until their edges begin to brown or turn yellow instead of just turning white and mushy. While there are several reasons why cooking potatoes becomes tough, and not ready for a snack, let’s dive deeper into this topic anyway. According to Wikipedia, starchy vegetables, including potatoes (particularly French fries), brown quickly if you don’t cover them properly when panfrying (the exact same situation happens with eggs when cooked until hard). Another reason why potatoes brown quickly is if you overcook them with short temps, meaning, the temperature stays constant rather than rising slowly over the course of cooking. Simply cutting off the outer layer of skin also prevents cooked potatoes from going bad, since enzymes in starch break down the flesh, not allowing toxic compounds and chemicals to remain. Cut off all remaining skin first, then set aside the skin on top to crisp up faster. Next, the easiest way to remove the skin on potatoes is to grill. The secret is in the sauce that goes on top of your potatoes. Let that drip on the ground for a minute, then peel. Wash off the sauce with warm water and pat dry. Once a deep-fryer is heated to medium heat, the grease is removed by gently flipping the potatoes to flip, not touching them. That’s it! Make sure to rinse and dehydrate your tomatoes before frying because any residual liquid will prevent the tomatoes from absorbing the oil and preventing any desired results.

Tips For Preparing Dried Figs
Dried figs are also incredibly convenient, especially in the month of June. Because the dried flowers will soften, and the seeds will release their oils, the drying will cause them to become softer. Also, don’t forget about the sugars, which they contain!
These tips are just a couple of ways to throw away excess in the refrigerator, and ensure less food waste in general.
