Eating healthy foods, mostly plants, is the best way to lose weight. Pay attention when you are hungry, and drink plenty of water. Get enough sleep and move your body to feel good.
This juice is designed with primarily low-calorie vegetables and fruits that are low in sugar. Each ingredient was carefully chosen, given their weight-loss properties, backed by clinical studies.

Freshly squeezed juices improve our digestive system's functionality and help dissolve fatty acids to reduce our weight.

🧐 Choosing a juicer
We use a Slow Masticating Juicer that has become our juicing companion. You will find two camps of juicers— cold-pressed (also called slow masticating) and centrifugal juicers.
The cold-pressed juicers slowly press down the produce until the dry fiber falls into a separate container.
Get an excellent Cold-Pressed juicer, also known as a slow-masticating juicer.
It will be one of the best investments you have made this year! Trust me! Make sure you check the juicer's instructions before starting, as many juicers have different working mechanisms.

Centrifugal juicers extract juice fast, spinning cut-down veggies and fruits around until the fiber and liquid separate.
They are also typically cheaper as the slow-masticating juicers are more efficient at getting more juice from your veggies and fruits.
Our juicer is a slow cold-pressed juicer, and we love it.
If you don't have a juicer, you can also make juices, following these simple tips on juicing without a juicer plus three delicious recipes.

Quadetra says
I have all the ingredients except the parsley. Can I use an apple? Will I still get the benefits without the parsley?
Gus says
Hi Quadetra, parsley is an herb which has almost a zero count of calories, vs apples which have much more sugar. Ideally, you would replace parsley with another almost non-calor herb: arugula, mint, spearmint, or kale.
As a rule of thumb, when replacing ingredients you try to emulate the properties, macro/micro nutrient profile, and caloric intake.
Let us know how you adapted the recipe! 🙂
Kathy says
Can I make this in a Nutribullet instead of a juicer?
Gus says
you sure can. You just need to pass it through a mesh strainer. You can also skip that step and leave the fiber in- just add one cup of water so it isn't too thick.
