Because it is extracted from fruits and vegetables, juice contains many of their nutrients but not the fiber. It is easy for the body to assimilate and does not burden the digestive system. Juice can oxidize quickly and should be consumed with a few minutes of extraction. They should be sipped slowly, however, for optimal digestion. Gulping down juice bypasses the first agents of the digestive process: the digestive enzymes in saliva.

Avoid peeling fruits and vegetables with edible skins, such as apples and carrots, because in many cases the peels have unique nutritive components; also, some of the organisms that produce vitamin B12 are often found on the skins. Do peel those fruits and vegetables with touch or inedible skins, such as bananas, beets, avocados, and waxed produce.
Very informative post, I stopped by commercial juice a while ago, never thought making my own raw juice could be an option! Love that you listed recipes.
