Little tips
The material to be used
For your green juice, you can use a juice extractor, a juicer or even on-board elements (5).
The nutritional quality of your green juice
It is important to know in advance what you want to bring to your body such as vitamins, minerals, etc.
Green juices are widely used for detoxification. Therefore, it is important to do it with cruciferous (see our article on detox cures). These are in general, cauliflower, kohlrabi, cabbage, turnips, broccoli, kale, brown mustard, Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, collard greens.
These crucifers are of utmost importance in your green fruit juice. Indeed, they allow to purify your body of xenoestrogens.
These are chemicals contained in herbicides, pesticides, the environment, and that our body inhales daily. In insignificant amounts over a few days, they create real health problems for you in the long term.
These xenoestrogens are also responsible for the storage of fat in our body which can no longer because of their effects to get rid of its toxins.
Not only will cruciferous vegetables make you lose belly fat fast, too. But in addition they will allow toxins to drain out of your body through their properties (6).
You should also use an apple or a pear for your green juices. You know that the apple is a fan of good health. It is the same for the pear.
Lemon, kiwi, pineapple should be used in your green juices because of their properties.
Green vegetables also need to be incorporated into the green juice. Obviously, green juice gets its fame and color from the chlorophyll of these green vegetables.
How To Make Sure You Have Delicious Green Juice
Ok I admit, sometimes your green juice recipe might not taste great. To avoid a not very pleasant aftertaste of your green juices, you can add a few small portions of carrots, melons, watermelon, strawberries.
This is to maintain the desire to always drink it.
So do not forget to add other fruits to improve it if the juice does not suit you the taste.
Believe me, if you make green juices just for quick detox without favoring the taste of those juices, you will find it difficult to make them over long periods of time. In fact, your organism will become disgusted with these juices over time. So, don’t forget, think especially about the delicious side of your juices.
Preservation of juices
Some people can keep them for several days or even a week. Usually I drink them in the hours that follow. Firstly because I don’t like to drink iced, but I have the psychological impression that my juice will lose its freshness and also some of its nutrients with the effect of the cold.
To read: how to store your juices
If you have decided to make your juice ahead of time to consume it later, keep it no longer than 72 hours if you are using a juice extractor. Otherwise you have a juicer so I advise you to drink your juices immediately.
Conclusion
It is very important to consume green juices from time to time even if you do not like them very much. It is more beneficial to our health than vitamins and others sold in pharmacies.
Favor the taste and the essential elements of the detox in order to ensure a good tasting and effective juice for your body.
