Have you wanted to try juicing but don’t know where to start? Or maybe you're looking for tips and tricks to make delicious green juices that don't taste like “liquid salad?” I’ve got you covered in this bonus episode all about juicing!
We’re not talking about juice fasting, we’re talking about adding one green juice a day to your regime. But, first...
Why Juice?
Benefits of juicing at home:
• You can quickly and easily add multiple servings of
veggies to your diet
• There's practically no digestion necessary
• The nutrients in juices hit the bloodstream pretty much
immediately (<15 minutes)
• It's easy to consume vegetables that you might not yet be
eating (collards, anyone?)
• The results. With juicing, you can see your skin start to
benefit, your energy increase and your waistline benefit
- all within a relatively quick period
In short, juicing vegetables is an incredibly efficient way to get nutrients into your body fast. And you already know that green leafy vegetables are loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytochemicals that give you optimal health and an immune system boost.
In this episode:
- Which juicer should you get?
- The most common mistakes in juicing
- The best time of day to juice
- Tips for saving time and money
- The difference between juicing and blending
- The ingredients that I won’t use when juicing
- Beneficial ingredients to add for detox benefits
- Ingredients that help to make your juice delicious instead of tasting like “liquid salad”
- The order matters…1) leafy greens --> 2) soft fruits and veggies --> 3) hard fruits and veggies (the harder fruits and veggies helps push through any bits of leafy green that are stuck in the feeding tube of your juicer)
