Who doesn’t love a tasty green juice? Green juices are filled with essential vitamins and minerals that the body can easily process because they are pre-digested, meaning the body doesn’t have to break down the food. The beautiful thing about National Green Juice Day is that you don’t have to be a hardcore green juice lover to enjoy a healthy, green elixir. Each green juice has a different flavor profile, some being sweeter and some just tasting like liquid salad.
If you commit to drinking one green juice or green smoothie per day, you are taking a step in a healthier direction. People who decide to reform their diets as New Year’s resolutions often go a little too hard and burn out by the end of January. It is better to start simple and make healthier changes day by day, which is why we are encouraging you to prepare one green juice or smoothie every day. This isn’t too much to ask, especially if you have recently considered abandoning your New Year’s diet.
When it comes to buying green juices, though, it is important to do a little research. Any juice company can produce a green juice, but the quality and ingredients is where some companies set themselves above the rest. For instance, Naked Juice adds an incredible amount of sugar to their juices and they are typically pasteurized, meaning you aren’t getting all the healthy benefits you think you are. This is why we always encourage you to make fresh juices.
Some juice bars will make fresh juices and then bottle them, meaning they have a very limited shelf life. Additionally, those juice places typically use reusable, glass juice bottles to limit environmental waste. Even though these places sell raw juices, we like making green juices at home, so that we know exactly what goes into them.
