Vegetable tonics serve the same purpose as juice tonics, without the sugar. Once you become more comfortable incorporating juice into your regime, we recommend consuming more vegetable tonics than fruit tonics. Most people become accustomed to the flavor of vegetable juices and start to prefer them to fruit. Green juice is so healing, nourishing, alkalizing, and refreshing. If you can take one thing from this book to add to your life each day, green juice is the best. Green juice is so powerfully packed with nutrients that you may even notice the color of your skin change to a light tan glow. We prefer it early afternoon as a pick-me-up before lunch. It is best to drink green juice at least thirty minutes before meal.
