There are lots of opinions about juicing and if you should do it or not. Why not just eat the veggies? If you juice it, you lose most of the fiber. Well, the answer is easy, you do what you like and what you are comfortable with. I personally don't want to try to make food to fit the veggies I juice into a good tasting meal. I like the juice. It gives me energy, and I treat it like my coffee for the day. It fills me up for a good snack, and I can still have all the veggies I want in my meals. It is extra vitamins, minerals, and trace elements I wouldn't get with any other snack.
The green juice I make, I lovingly call my Warrior Juice because it is just that. I got the recipe out of Crazy Sexy Diet. It is jam packed full of vitamins, minerals. and antioxidants. It promotes a more alkaline climate in the body and is a cancer fighting ninja drink! It does taste...interesting at first. It was hard to drink the first time, but now I drink it with no problems. In fact, my body craves it.
As I always say, do your own research and decide what works best for you. I personally believe in the juice, and I feel better when I drink it.
