Green Juice: Fab or just a Fad?
A few years back I started seeing tons and tons of these “health influencers” get super into green juice and of course my (obviously incredibly logical) 17 year old brain absolutely HAD to check it out. Since I’ve owned 2 juicers, done 1 cleanse, and tried numerous recipes. Overall it’s not some “this is gonna change your life” thing, but it definitely helps. When I first started I was juicing a couple times a week in place of a meal and after a few months finally did a cleanse. After the couple months, and one (1.5 day) cleanse I had lost almost 40 pounds. Mind you, this was also 6 months of weight training 5x a week and cardio 4x a week. But it really did help. Since, I find myself reaching for juice when I’m breaking out, on my period, or just kinda tired. I definitely look and feel less bloated, I have more stable energy, and better gym recovery when I am consistently showing up for myself in this way and others.
