Juicing can be a very healthy and delicious way to get more nutrients, especially leafy greens, into your daily diet. These gluten, dairy and soy-free recipes are perfect for primal and paleo dieters and don’t require much experience at all in the kitchen. If done properly, juicing can be a nourishing source of enzymes, phytonutrients, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fiber that aid digestion, enhance detoxification, cleanse the liver, increase alkalinity, strengthen immunity, boost metabolism, assist weight loss, and support overall health.
