“They tasted alright but there is way too much sugar in every juice and there is no way a normal person can survive the cleanse on the calories in the juices only. I had headaches for days because there were insufficient nutrients in the juices alone.”
“Overall, I ended up using the juices as a meal replacement once or twice a day due to the sweetness/ sugar content of the juice. I should have done more research on the sugar content prior to purchasing. I felt like most, if not all, of the the juices could have benefited from less fruit juice and more vegetable juice. Most of the first ingredients were apple, pineapple, or carrot juice-all of which are very high in sugar. The juices tasted very sweet and I often watered them down or added lemon juice. The beet juice was definitely too sweet and needed more lemon. However, I loved the green juice with spinach, kale, apple, collards, lemon and carrot. I loved the convenience of the juices arriving frozen to be used at my own convenience.”
Hi there, With all the concerns around SUGAR in our diets being brought to light, this is a valid concern amongst juicers. This is because juice, when found in the grocery store, i.e. your standard pasteurized apple, cranberry, orange juices, IS straight-up sugar water. It has been processed in order to keep it from spoiling, but in the process, loses all of its nutritional content.
It's a common misunderstanding that because added sugars are bad, the same must apply to fruits, which also contain fructose. However... this is completely wrong. Fructose is only harmful in large amounts and it is almost impossible to overeat fructose by eating fruit. NOTHING is EVER added to our juices. It is fruit and veggies and nothing else. When focusing on the idea of taking in more carbohydrates (even natural ones found in the fruits that are juiced) is, it’s a matter of balancing your macronutrients. For instance, since you won’t be taking in the regular amount of fats and protein you would while not on a cleanse, it allows your body to process more carbs— especially without the fiber. If you are still concerned with balancing your blood sugar levels, consider drinking our juice as a supplement to your diet full of vegetables, healthy fats, and protein.
