See our Juicing 101 post to learn the basics of juicing, including tips and health benefits.
Juicing companies are taking over the world. In my opinion, the same way Pink Berry did about 10 years ago. People want healthy, quick options for food. And while some of us are happy to pay $10 for juice, an everyday juice can be equivalent to a monthly car payment. Don't get me wrong, I love to grab a juice and go, but I also like having a little spending money ;) And it turns out I'm not alone! I posted a homemade juice cleanse in January and it's still our most popular post to date! Stay tuned for our new, 2014 Homemade Summer Juice Cleanse this weekend!
The first official day of summer is on Saturday, June 21!
The Food Click has you covered with seven refreshing summer juices to keep you glowing all summer long! We also created a little formula to encourage recipe experimentation and creativity on your end.
