Some recommend fruits be eaten and only vegetables be juiced. Still, recipes often incorporate at least fruit in every juice to improve the flavor. The choice is up to you. Add in some of your favorites and also things that are new or different for you. Experiment with your combinations until you find exactly what you like.

It is highly recommended to use vegetables and fruits that are pesticide free. That is, organic options are best. If possible, choosing those that are as fresh as possible and are grown locally. As always, start small with basic veggies and then add on more as your body becomes used to the juices. Adding in ginger, limes and lemons, and cranberries can enhance the flavor of otherwise all-vegetable juices. Make sure to drink the juice while it is still fresh and if necessary, store with care.

Monitor how your body responds and act accordingly. The juice should taste good to you and not something you only consume because you feel as though you have to.
