Notes
- It's important to use a berry" friendly" juicer, especially wen you opt for a slow masticating juicer. Blueberries have a soft pulp and the juice extraction is not optimal with a cheaper one. Most of the juice goes out with the pulp.
- This is a concentrated juice, naturally higher in fruit sugars and lower in fiber. Pair with fiber-rich meals (veggies, legumes, whole grains, seeds) to better support blood sugar balance.
- If you’re going through treatment or on medications, especially those metabolized by the liver, talk with your care team before adding large amounts of any concentrated juice regularly.
- Color may vary depending on your cabbage and berries, deep purple to magenta is normal.
