The juice, unlike what happens with smoothies, is made by using a blender, its consistency being obviously much more liquid.
It must be taken into account that when we eat fruits and vegetables through this process, we lose the fiber that they can provide us while antioxidant substances are extracted more efficiently and the digestive process is improved. In this way, when making detox juices we should avoid all those products that are very rich in fiber and poor in antioxidants. An issue that, as it is precisely about vegetables and fruits, can become quite complex.
Less recommended fruits and vegetables to make detox juices
- All fresh fruits with skin, pulp or seeds also add a good amount of fiber to any self-respecting detox diet. In this way, it is much more appropriate to take them raw than to ingest them through juices. Some of these products are raspberries, oranges, apples, strawberries, tangerines, grapefruit, peaches and bananas, as well as dried fruits such as figs, figs and raisins.
- In any case, it must be taken into account that despite the fiber they are foods rich in complex carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins A and C, reasons for which they can be added, despite everything, to the recipes of these detox juices
- Of all the vegetables, those with the most fiber are artichokes, broccoli, turnips, cauliflower, pumpkin, yams, carrots, avocados, dried soybeans, broad beans, chard and olives. As with fruits, the introduction of these vegetables in detox juices could be viable, despite the loss of fiber, due to the great contribution of vitamins and minerals that some of them can provide to the food itself. same.
- If we bet on detox juices in a purifying food routine and, at the same time, we want to provide a good source of fiber, we will have to compensate with raw or semi-raw fruits and vegetables, through the preparation of purifying smoothies. In case of doubts in this regard, the most pertinent thing will be to consult a nutrition specialist.
