JJ Virgin exposes how commercial green juices hide behind fruit. Naked's Green Machine has apple juice as its first ingredient, delivering 53g of sugar and 270 calories, more than soda. She recommends green drinks where greens come first, or try Bloom's dried powder or Suja's Lemon Love instead.
You've been lied to your whole life about what's actually healthy. Green drinks. These honestly are fruit juice in disguise. Many green drinks contain a lot of fruit because otherwise they taste too green. This one I love to pick on. This is Naked's Green Machine. You would think this looks great. It says Green Machine. But here's the deal. Guess what the first ingredient is? Apple juice. Apple juice is higher in fructose than any other fruit. Here we have in this one bottle 270 calories. And you know how much sugar is in here? 53 grams, more than a soda. Look for a green drink that is made with greens, and if they use any fruit, it's lemon or limes because they got no fructose in them. Here's some other options. Bloom, which you can use one of the dried greens powders. So this one is great. And then the other thing is doing a lemon drink. I love this. I am totally hooked on this Suja Lemon Love. It is great for lowering blood sugar response to the meal, and the cayenne's a little metabolic booster.
