Best Fruit and Vegetable Combinations for Juice Diets

Juicing has become quite the trend these days — from Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz to Yankees star Mark Teixeira, it seems like everyone is jumping on the fresh pressed juice bandwagon. And it’s not without good reason, either.

As you may already know, juicing is a great way to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your diet — and by extension their associated vitamin and mineral profiles. Though some benefits of whole fruits and vegetables can be lost in the juicing process, most of the vitamins and minerals are retained, as well as some of the beneficial fiber. And for those who have trouble remembering to eat the recommended five daily servings of fruits and vegetables, you can easily squeeze two to three servings into a single juice.

What’s more, combining certain fruits or vegetables into one juice can be like building your own diet Rx. If you’re feeling under the weather, juicing fruits that are packed with immune-boosting vitamin C can help cut your cold short. Juicing leafy greens and vegetables with edible skins can give your diet a fiber boost, helping to keep your GI tract running smoothly. Antioxidant-rich fruits like berries and grapes can be pressed into a juice that is not only good for your overall health but may even help prevent heart disease.
