As Ramadan 2025 approaches, Muslims worldwide prepare for a month of fasting, prayer, and spiritual reflection. With fasting periods extending up to 14 hours per day, maintaining proper hydration and nutrition becomes crucial during the two main meal times: suhoor (pre-dawn meal) and iftar (breaking of fast).
To make sure you are hydrated throughout the day and consume easy-to-digest foods, freshly prepared juice is one of the best choices. The best part is that you don’t even need to invest in a traditional juicer; you can simply use Usha’s hand blender to enjoy fresh fruit or vegetable juice. Read on to know how to make juice with a hand blender.
Fresh Fruits And Veggies
If you are fasting for Ramadan, breaking the fast with a fresh glass of juice is a great way to maintain hydration and energy levels. However, the most important step to quickly make juice using Usha’s hand blender is always to use fresh fruits or vegetables, that too, the ones which have a higher water content. As for fruits, you can pick watermelons, apples, grapes, oranges, etc. For vegetables, you can use carrots, cucumber, beetroot, and so on. You can also add coconut water to the juices, making every glass more hydrating.
Preparation Techniques
Unlike traditional juicers, hand blenders require some preparation techniques to extract smooth juice. Before you start blending the ingredients, chop them into small pieces to ensure they blend smoothly. Also, use a deep container or a jug to blend to avoid splashing. Furthermore, if you are making juice for bigger groups, blend the fruits or vegetables in batches.

Different Ingredients For Suhoor And Iftar
Since the nutritional demands of your body differ before sunrise and after sunset, the juice recipes have to be carefully picked for suhoor and iftar. For suhoor, since you need sustained energy, you can go for an avocado juice, cucumber and lemon squash, date smoothie, or even a banana shake. As for Iftar, you need to prioritise hydration after the long fast. Some of your best options would be watermelon juice, cucumber squash, apple juice, etc.
Additives For Better Digestion
After the day-long roza, you would require your meals to be light on your stomach, while giving your body the maximum nutrition. Whether you’re making juice or a smoothie with your Usha’s hand blender, you can add digestion-supporting ingredients like ginger, honey, or lemongrass. Once the beverage is prepared, you can strain it to get rid of excess fibre for easier digestion.
Storing The Juice
Preparing fresh juice every day is the ideal practice, and with Usha’s hand blender, you can easily do so within minutes. However, if you want to store leftover juice, it is recommended to use airtight containers and refrigerate. You can enjoy the freshly squeezed juice for 24 hours after refrigeration, but if you want to store it for a longer time, you can fill an ice cube tray with the juice, and consume it later.
