Juice Your Way to a Greener Life

Juicers are easy to find but not always economically viable. I received my juicer as a gift one holiday and I consider it to be one of my most prized possessions to this day. You can find juicers on Amazon and at local retailers.

A cold-pressed juicer never heats the ingredients and ultimately, yields more juice for optimal nutritional value. I love that I can create my own recipes and avoid excess waste.

Don’t have a juicer at home? You can order a similar green juice recipe at a local juice bar near you.

Remember to purchase glass bottles over plastic bottles and opt for compostable packaging over single-use plastic whenever and wherever possible. That’s going green for you and for the environment!
