**Important Note**

 

Choose organically grown fruits and vegetables whenever possible. Non-organic produce is deficient in minerals (needed to prevent disease) and replete with dozens of chemicals that create a toxic overload in your body. Children especially need to avoid chemically-grown foods.

If organic produce is not available to you, at least adhere to the clean fifteen and avoid the dirty dozen.

 

Shop your local co-op, farmer’s market, and grow your own!

 

Diabetics should restrict their fruit sugar (fructose) to 25 gms. per day, according to Joseph Mercola, M.D.

 

Please consult your holistic healthcare practitioner if you have blood sugar issues before drinking this healthy juice recipe.

Juicing is a great way to reach your daily requirement of 6-9 servings of fruits and vegetables per day.
