Juicing

Juicing is extremely important to immediate flooding of essential nutrients to the body. Juicing allows vitamins, minerals, and nutrients to be absorbed without the space hogging bulk of fiber and allows you to consume ten to one hundred times more because of that saved space.

Juicing Tips for Success

• Store juice in glass jars with rubber seal (mason jar). Fill jar as full as possible, as extra air trapped in the bottle destroys enzymes and nutrients.
• The highest nutritional value is within the first 45 minutes after making the juice. This is not always feasible; however, do not make your juice the night before. At a minimum, make your juice each morning.
• Buy only enough vegetables for a week’s worth of juices.
• Buy green “stay fresh” bags for vegetables. Portion the vegetables out according to the number of juices you will make.
• Pack green veggies only NOT including cucumbers. Cucumbers, lemons, apples, and ginger are prepared at time of juicing.
