Day 48 - A Few Juice Feasting Tips

  1. Carry a toothbrush. (juicing teeth get fuzzy more often)
  2. Mix lime/cilantro or mint/apple with salad green juice (much more palatable).
  3. Put lemon or lime into juice that is going to sit in the fridge for a few hours - will keep juice fresh longer.
  4. Add 1/4 of a fresh jalapeno to your veggie juice - the heat will make you sip instead of gulp - less chance of swallowing air that can lead to bloating - also helps you to remember to "chew" your juice which will aid in digestion.
  5. Use ginger or cayenne in juice if you are feeling cold it will warm you up.
  6. Blend salad greens and strain off the juice using a nut milk bag. Makes a nicer less frothy juice than putting them through a juicer. (faster too).
  7. Dark green vegetable juice is pretty strong use 1/4 to root vegetable juice until you get used to it (more at the beginning may make you feel nausated).
  8. Use plastic lids for mason jars - the metal ones get gungy after awhile - the plastic ones are easier to clean and last longer.
  9. Line the inside of the pulp catcher with a plastic bag it makes clean up easier.
  10. To get rid of froth strain juice through a nut milk bag or metal strainer.
  11. When storing juices in the fridge, minimize nutritional loss by filling juice to the top of the mason jar (as little air as possible don't forget to add a little lemon or lime as well).
  12. PMS? Drink Celery and cucumber juice (natural diuretics) - really helps with water retention.
  13. Feeling sick to your stomach because of detoxing juice a little ginger with apple.
  14. Dry skin take a tsp of flax or coconut oil daily.
