You can add some variety

You can also add, or change out, certain vegetables with other types of tropical flavors, like strawberries, black currants, cantaloupe and citrus fruits.  These are recommendable for increasing the body’s natural defenses from virus attacks.  They also slow cellular aging.

Drink Immediately

Remember that once prepared, juices must be consumed immediately.  Stored juices, even if they were kept in the refrigerator, quickly lose their dietary value.

Likewise, we recommend that you drink them an hour before breakfast, or two to three hours after lunch.  It is important that you do not add any extra sugar, their natural sweetness is healthier.

Other tips

Before preparing your juice, you should follow a few important steps:

– Wash your fruits and vegetables very well, with plenty of water and if possible, a brush.

– Remove seeds and pits, or any hard parts in the fruit.

– Peel citrus fruits

– Cut your fruits and vegetables into small pieces so they are easier to blend, juice, or process.
