Fruits and vegetables are loaded with healing properties and juicing is a great way to get a boost of nutrition without using vitamins or other supplements. Fresh juice is a cocktail, loaded with vitamins, minerals, enzymes and nutrients. By consuming fresh juice, you digest the undiluted nutrients which promote cellular health. Plants lose their nutrients by cooking or even by lightly steaming them, so juicing raw fruits and vegetables is a great way to drink a concentrated amounts of wonderful phytochemicals. Always use Naturally Grown produce whenever possible. Wash your fruits and vegetables. Drink slowly and remember to "chew" slosh the juice with your saliva for healthy digestion.
Juicing is the process of extracting juice from plant tissues such as, fruit or vegetables. There are many methods of juicing from squeezing fruit by hand to extraction via industrial equipment. It is important to note that vegetable juice has very little protein and virtually no fat so by itself, it is not really a complete food. It should be used in addition to your regular meals not in place of it. Unless you are undergoing some special fasting or detoxification program, it is not wise to use juicing as a meal replacement. Ideally, it can be consumed with your meal or as a between meal snack.
Juicing is a time-consuming process and it is not a good idea to juice a daily dose, store it and drink it later. Vegetable juice is HIGHLY perishable , so it's best to drink all of your juice immediately. However, by properly storing your juice, you can retain most of its nutritional value, for up to 24 hours .
Storing your juice:
** Unless noted, many of the cocktail drinks below are served in a tall or large glass, dressed with a slice of lemon and sprig of mint, spearmint or your preference. Get creative!
The shakes and smoothies are blended until creamy.

Storing your juice:
- Pour your juice in a glass jar with an airtight lid and fill it to the very top. There should be a minimum amount of air in the jar as the oxygen in air (air is about 20 percent oxygen) will "oxidize" and damage the juice.
- Immediately store it in the fridge and consume it when you are ready, preferably within 24 hours of juicing.
