Notes on juicing:
Juices are potent! Please seek the advice of a health professional before juicing if you are:
- Making drastic dietary changes or attempting a ‘strict detox’
- Pregnant or nursing
- Diabetic
- Have kidney stones
Each recipe should make 1 regular or 2 smaller servings, but the volume will depend on the size of your produce! Unless specified, juicing ingredients can be juiced together in any order – and fruits and vegetables don’t need peeling.
