In summer days, dehydration is the major issue we face. It could be easily over come by adding more fluid in our diet. Apart from drinking water, fresh fruit juices too keep our body cool. So here's an easy to make simple juice with the ingredients available in your own pantry. This juice has loads of vitamins in it so it is delicious and also nutritious too.

 As it is a colourful juice it sure attracts kids. While preparing this juice for kids you could avoid ginger. Personally I do not prefer ginger in fruit juices but I leave that to your discretion. You need not add ginger and one can make the juice with sweetness to one's requirement.
