Ready to juice? Not so fast. Here are a few tips to remember, so you can get the most out of your juicing experience:
Tips
- It's best to drink your juice first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, as the vitamins and minerals are more easily absorbed on an empty stomach.
- Remember to eat something substantial about 30 minutes after your juice or whenever you're feeling hungry. The juice shouldn't be a substitute for breakfast! Unless you're doing a juice fast—in that case, there are separate safety rules and best practices you should follow.
- If you can, drink your juice fresh! Contact with oxygen depletes the nutrients. If you need to store your juice, I would recommend a dark glass airtight container in the fridge.
