Organic fruit and vegetable drinks are a convenient, tasty way to get important vitamins and minerals from fresh, minimally processed vegetables and fruits. Many manufacturers produce and market organic juices, and they have become mainstream enough that you can often find them in large grocery stores in addition to health-food and specialty markets. If you want to enjoy all the benefits of these juices, you can also choose to invest in a juicer, buy or grow organic fruits and vegetables, and make your own juice at home.
Organic Vegetable Drinks
Organic vegetable juices aren't as widely available as organic fruit juices, but they can be found in many health-food stores, specialty markets, and even some large grocery stores. Each store may carry different brands, so if you're searching for a specific type of drink, order the drink online or talk with a store's manager to request it.

Juicing Your Own
If you want to create your own organic fruit and vegetable drinks at home, you can do so with a blender, food process, or juicer. Learning how to juice fruits and vegetables is a simple process, and though the expense of a juicer or high-quality blender is a significant up-front cost, you can save money over time if you use the machine to make lots of organic juice drinks.
