I recently heard from a raw food expert that when you're green on the inside, you're clean on the inside. Eating green vegetables, and drinking green vegetable juices and green vegetable smoothies is an easy and natural way to clean your blood, cells, and whole body, and to help them replenish and be better prepared to fight off disease. I never start a day without a green juice. The physical benefits of this practice are great, but I also get many psychological benefits from this wellness ritual. When I start the day right (i.e., with a green juice), my day unfolds in a completely different and definitely more positive way, I make wiser food choices, and I'm less prone to procrastination and lack of discipline in other areas of my life. It's almost as if my body and mind get the message that I love myself and care about my well being, and so they behave accordingly. Want to try it for yourself?

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    It's always better to drink a juice when it's freshly made, but if this is not an option due to time restrictions, keep it refrigerated in a glass air tight container, and drink within 24 hours.
  • tip 2
    You can also freeze it as soon as you make it, and let it melt in the fridge before drinking it.
