Juicing 101

March 14, 2021

I wanted to write a post about juicing 101 because juicing is one of the first wellness world things I got really into when I started my health journey. I like to describe juicing kind of like taking a shot of tequila and feeling tipsy- but instead of alcohol, juicing is flooding your bloodstream as quickly as a shot with vitamins and minerals! Since the fiber is removed, the body does not have to process and break down the vegetables and fruits. So the nutrients are absorbed asap. Let’s chat about the benefits of juicing and tips for the perfect juice recipe.

Juicing 101

Benefits of Juicing:

For one, juicing allows you to get much larger amounts of fruits and vegetables into your diet- especially leafy greens! Think about how large of a bowl you would need if you were to sit down and eat all the vegetables versus how quickly you can consume these when they are added to a juice. For example, a whole head of kale makes just about ⅕ cup of juice- if that! 

Additionally, as I mentioned earlier, juicing is like taking a shot of instant nutrition. All the fiber has been removed during the juicing process, so it’s much easier for the body to digest. Drinking juice let’s the body more easily absorb the vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. It’s like taking a liquid multivitamin. 

Tips for the perfect juice:

Juices can be full of anti-inflammatory superfoods, hydrating, high in antioxidants, detoxifying, and so much more. Here are a few tips for the perfect juice recipe.

-Watch out for too much fruit. While fruit is super healthy and full of nutrients, it does contain natural sugar which can cause blood sugar to spike. My general rule of thumb is to include no more than 1 apple in your juice per serving if you need to keep it sweet.

-Pack in the greens. If you don’t mind it, nix the fruit altogether and focus on vegetables. My goal for clients with adding juices into their diet is to help them easily and quickly get in 6-8 cups of leafy greens a day. Go for kale, celery, romaine, watercress, swiss chard, etc!

-Add unique veggies and herbs. For example, things like ginger or turmeric root, cucumber, carrots, beets, parsley, and dandelion are not usually a weekly household staple for me. However, I love to pick them up when I plan on juicing that week because they are amazing for detoxifying and can easily be thrown in the juicer.

How to incorporate juices into your diet:

-I always tell my clients that something they can do to dramatically improve their health that requires very little time, money, and effort is to try and squeeze in one big green juice per week. 

-You can also make juicing really easy on yourself and just buy one at your local health food store or juice bar. I won’t lie to you- juicing is a pain, mainly because the clean up is annoying. So on days when I am feeling a little lazy, I’ll ask Whole Foods to do the work for me. I’ll have them make me a fresh juice to sip on while I do my grocery shopping for the week.

-Focus on fresh juice and consume it within 24-48 hours. This is because it really starts to lose its nutritional value the longer it sits in the fridge. If you’re buying your juice from a store shelf versus making it at home, look at the date the juice was made. I’d recommend opting for the freshest option possible and avoiding juices that have 30+ days shelf life that undergo HPP (high pressure processing). 

Should you do a juice cleanse? 

I get a ton of questions from people wanting to do juice cleanses. This could be a whole other post, but I wanted to be sure to quickly cover it in this juicing 101 guide. There are pros and cons to a juice cleanse. You will definitely reap the benefits of a huge increase in nutrients and enhanced, natural detoxification. However, it’s not sustainable to keep weight off and I personally think they can be extremely hard to stick to. In my experience, to reset and detox, exploring a plant-based diet is much more manageable. Be sure to book a free consultation with me here to learn more and we can come up with a custom plan to reach your health goals.

Juicer Recommendations:

I’d recommend the Omega brand or the Nama brand cold press juicers.

Feeling good everyday and clearing your acne isn’t always about the perfect diet or skincare routine. Trust me, you can be eating all the kale in the world and applying all the right products but if your internal world is a wreak, it will show up externally as physical ailments & symptoms. 

This is your body’s way of trying to talk to you and part of healing skin from the inside out is making space for the key nutrients of joy, adventure, and time away to experience the world outside of the sometimes daily monotonous routine. 

And of course the salt water, sunlight, & fresh mountain air can also be magical for the soul and skin 🤪🤍

Hawaii- you were epic.

I feel like no one is really talking about this… I feel like no one is really talking about this… 

so I just wanted to say that if spironolactone (a medication originally meant to treat things like heart failure and high blood pressure) is not the “miracle drug” for your hormonal acne that you were promised, you are NOT ALONE.

I’ve been in your shoes. 👞 

And I’ve heard this over and over again from other women.

Is this you? leave a 💚💚💚 if so.

Trying another random vitamin or supplement you he Trying another random vitamin or supplement you heard that could be helpful for acne? Listen up...Nothing in pill form could ever quite beat the real deal.... delicious, fresh GREEN JUICE. My go to these days has been celery, cucumber, lemon, a little bit of green apple, and ginger. 

Incorporating green juice into my life almost 10 years ago was one of the first tools I discovered along my holistic haling journey that helped my acne and breakouts, my skin, my immune system, and SO much more.

You know when you take a shot of like, tequila and it instantly makes you feel buzzed? Think of green juices like a SHOT to your bloodstream of essential vitamins and minerals. This is because your body doesn't have to do the work of breaking down & digesting the fruits and vegetables. 

It's one of the fastest ways to give your body what it needs to function at it's best.
