Juicing

I make a blenderful of nutrition-packed smoothie, pour it into 8-oz glasses, cover each glass with foil and put each glass (except the one I want that day) in the freezer. Whenever I want one, I take it out to thaw. They taste nice and fresh and are still packed with all the vitamins and other nutrients we need to have a healthful diet. Great question...and I really wish I could say 'yes'...but the answer is 'no'. All fruits and veggies begin to slowly lose nutrients as soon as they are cut.

Sometimes life is crazy-busy - or, some of us may be fatigued as we go through treatment - and we need to get ahead a bit by chopping veggies or juicing earlier than we intend to consume. Don't beat yourself up if you have a few days like that. You will still be getting some nutritional value from them. But in general, try to eat or drink your veggies shortly after you prepare them in order to get the most nutrition out of them.
