Guava ginger juice Recipes

Guava ginger juice RecipesGuava is a natural laxative as it is high in fiber and can help you if you have digestive problems such as constipation. This unusual concoction is a powerhouse of vitamin C and fiber. Have it with your afternoon snack to complement a chat-pata dish. Remember to use fully ripe guava because they taste the best and you also need to add a little sugar to this drink so it makes more sense.
