Fresh Juice Recipes to Get 2021 Started on The Right Foot

We’re all over 2020 and could also use a shot in the arm to get 2021 started out on the right foot. One easy way to boost your energy with natural health benefits is to enjoy some delicious cold-pressed juice made in your home. Fresh juice is a great way to put a smile on your face and pep in your step.

Not only are juiced fruits and vegetables a good source of vitamins and minerals, but fresh juice is also a good way to keep your digestive system moving smoothly. Homemade juice is also the key component of a cleanse diet to help rid your body of toxins to get 2021 started on the right foot.

Why Homemade Juice is Better Than Store Bought

Fresh vegetable and fruit juice pressed from whole ingredients is a true superfood. The same can’t be said for the store-bought variety as you have to trust where the ingredients were sourced from and the preservatives involved. 

Like processed foods, store bought juice often contains preservatives that are not only harsh on the body but reduce its nutritional value. Many store bought juices are also made from concentrate and have added sugars, which can spike your blood sugar, leading to snacking!

On the flip side, the fiber in home-pressed juice made from solid foods not only keeps you regular but also prevents those unhealthy blood sugar spikes and helps lower cholesterol. Natural orange juice and apple juice both contain almost 3 grams of healthy fiber!

Sneak Your Veggies In

Are you vegetable shy? The kids aren’t fans of kale or broccoli on your plate? Veggies are an important component of any healthful diet. Containing key vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to keep your body running smoothly. By blending fruits and veggies together, you get all of the health benefits while also making the veggies more palatable with the sugar in the fruit!

What’s The Deal With a Juice Cleanse?

While we don’t recommend replacing whole foods altogether, many people swear by the benefits of a 1-3 day organic juice cleanse to hit reset on your body. A cleanse program in which you cut out whole foods and only drink juice helps clear your body of toxins, lose weight, and even help conquer cravings. Of course, we recommend consulting with your doctor or a nutritionist to make sure an all-juice cleanse is right for you.
