TheGreen juiceGUIDE
When looking for ways to improve your health, it can sometimes get a little overwhelming. But it really doesnt have to be that way. For us, being healthy isnt about deprivation or restriction, its about adding in so much

nutrient-rich goodness, that you end up crowding out the other foods! Once you start incorporating plenty of delicious healthy food, you cant help but get hooked because you feel so amazing!
Thats why we brought back the Green Juice Challenge for another year. We received such wonderful feedback from those who participated the last couple of years that we had to do it again!
From personal experience and feedback from hundreds of green juice converts, you can improve your energy levels, gain clarity, and look and feel better, just by adding one nutrient-rich green juice each day, without changing anything else!
So if youre new to juicing, or a veteran juicer back for round three, we cant wait to get juicing with you!
In good health,
Why Green Juice? Green juices allow you to add a wider variety of vegetables
to your diet and are the perfect way to consume the recommended daily serving of vegetables without feeling overfull.
Green juices promote alkalinity and rapidly help shift your bodys pH from acidic to alkaline.
Green juice digests in about 10 minutes, so your body gets a concentrated dose of nutrition almost instantly!
Green juices are the ultimate energy and clarity boost!
Green Juice Tips! Where possible, always use organic produce. Otherwise peel
produce before juicing, especially apples and celery as they rank top among the produce which are most sprayed with pesticides.
Always wash produce thoroughly before juicing to remove dirt, grit and bugs.
Some fibrous fruits and vegetables that are stringy are best pre-cut to a short length before being juiced to prevent the fibers getting wrapped around the juicers internal mechanism.
Wet leaves and herbs generally do not pass through a juicer as well as when dry, so pat the produce dry first before juicing.
Citrus fruits are best peeled when being juiced.
