Or is it just more junk displayed as being healthy?
Im trying to eat better and get more vitamins. The Naked Juice stuff (http://nakedjuice.com/) seems healthy from when I read the labels but there are always ways to fudge the numbers or not list and ingredient. So is it healthy?
Thanks.

But for sure it's better than a cola drink.

(27,670 posts)types of boosted "greenfood" juices on a daily basis 3 years ago. (Trader Joe's is the least expensive I've found, but it tastes awful compared to Green Machine).
Every day, I mix 8 ounces of it with 4 ounces of some other type of 100% fruit or veggie juice, (ie orange, cherry, mango, vegetable).
Anyway, I have not had a cold or flu since I started drinking this blend every day. (But I have not had a flu since I was a child). Recent lab tests and checkup results: Normal or better in all areas.
Of course, I can't say that drinking this blend is what has kept me from getting a cold or flu. But I'm definitely going to keep drinking it just in case.
(I'm also a vegetarian, don't smoke, drink very little alcohol, no drugs, exercise frequently, and have a reasonably healthy diet, so how this juice affects me may be relative to my lifestyle also)

(51,666 posts)Naked Juice is slightly better, but I avoid most juices on general principle and just eat the whole fruit or veggies.
