Fresh Juice-Carrot, Beet, Apple, and Ginger
Day 2/3: Avoid Sugar at Breakfast Level I
-
annefood 8yr Great job avoiding added sugar at breakfast @jtran ! Careful with juices though—apples, carrots and beets are all quite high in natural sugar, and when you remove the fiber by juicing, you get a large dose of sugar that your body immediately absorbs. While these fresh juices are allowed in the Challenge (and are better than added sugar), try to limit your consumption of them and always have them with protein because you'll notice they won't keep you full on their own and will play with your blood sugar levels. A better option, if available to you, would be to have a smoothie with some protein in it such as almond milk, plain yogurt, and nut butter. Smoothies have a higher fiber content than the stripped down juice.
