Buy a juicer and do it yourself, that way you know exactly what is in it. Its cheaper in the long run, healthier and so much more tasty

A juicer is great but make sure you do not rush and buy a large type juicer that takes whole fruit, they are no good for oranges. Best with one that you half the oranges, and hold the half down on the turning mechanism,

Not all varieites of orange will give the nicest juice. A juicer is a great machine - and as above the 'half pressing' style is as good if you don't want to spend money on a juicer that will only be used for the occasional juice and not for loads of drinks all the time, like lots of fruit cups, vege drinks etc.

Valencia or Navel are good ones. Warming the orange or even just rolling on a counter top will give more juice. Green shading on an orange also means the orange is ripe - the natural chlorophyll in the skin shows when the orange has been very warm, so the juice is likely to be sweeter as well.

And if you do use a 'half fruit' juicer - keep the squeezed out shell - rinse and use as 'cups' for ice cream or fruit cups, fill with fresh fruits, or even use as a side dish for a fresh salad for the bbq., or fill with candle wax or grate the skin and keep the zest - freezes well - for flavouring.

Oranges are usually sold with residue of pesticide or fungicide, so if you are using the zest, make sure they are well washed - vinegar is a cheap and effective cleanser.

If you do get a juicer, make sure also it's one that can be easily cleaned - the filters can be a pain - and with a good powerful motor to handle tough veg too.

I prefer to squeeze them at home instead of buying concentrated one.

Took some fresh oranges and prepare the juice yourself, however, it would require some effort yet provide a lot of benefit to your health.
