Spring is almost upon us, so it’s time to lighten up our diet and help our body detox. Doing juicing for health is a great way to kick start the season. One of the best ways to encourage the cleansing process is to have fresh-pressed juices every day. They give a huge nutritional boost to the body providing vitamins and minerals quickly and easily.
We are inviting you to a juicing challenge that will cleanse your body and brighten your mood. You can choose to juice for just one day or stretch this challenge to 30 days; it’s entirely up to you.
