Jackson Free Press

I know it sounds very L.A.-esque, but there's a reason those Hollywood actors and supermodels look so glowy and seem so energetic. I mean, besides the personal trainers and weekly massages, they juice. It's a healthy trend that seems to be here to stay. All you need is a juicer or a blender with juicing capabilities. To make one of these drinks, simply combine the fruits, veggies and other healthy goodness into the blender or juicer's pitcher, give the mixture a whirl and then enjoy.
