Guava Juice

The health benefits of guava include treatment of diarrhea, dysentery, constipation, cough, cold, skin care, high blood pressure, weight loss, scurvy, etc. Other benefits are that guava helps control diabetes, protects the prostrate, its Lypocene reduces the risk of cancer, the juice of the leaves cures toothache, swollen gums & oral ulcers, heals wounds when applied externally, convulsions, epilepsy, bacterial infections and so on and so forth. 

I love guavas, especially the pink ones with its lovely fragrance.  It is so delicious to eat but the seeds can be quite difficult to chew.  Thank goodness I have my Thermomix to prepare my guava juice.  It can grind the seeds so finely that it can be drank together as part of the juice.  Just 2 minutes and you can have your very own glass of lovely pink juice… so quenching and so delicious!

Ingredients:
