I have been a fan of green juices ever since I started incorporating more raw food into my daily diet. When I just started out with raw food, I created my own ‘juice feast’ in order to help my body detoxify and gain energy. I combined daily juices with high raw, nutritious meals and the results were stunning! Not only did I lose a considerable amount of weight, I also felt extremely happy, grateful, peaceful and energized.
I know you might think it will taste bad or take too much of your precious time. I am here to prove you wrong. You don’t even need a juicer! If you try the basic recipe below, I am convinced that you will love the taste (even if you don’t consider yourself a veggie lover) and that you will be amazed at how quick you can fix yourself a green juice, without much cleaning afterwards! Thanks to your daily green juice, you will…

JULIE’S TIPS AND TRICKS:
Fresh juices contain the highest amount of nutrients when you drink them right away. You can store them in the refrigerator for one day, but they will lose some of their taste and a lot of their vitamins and minerals because the fiber has been removed from the vegetables.
