FAQ:
Q1: Can I mix two juice recipes together?
Yes! But avoid mixing acidic with dairy-based blends (like the insomnia drink) to prevent stomach discomfort.
Q2: How soon will I see results?
With daily use and a healthy diet, noticeable improvements in energy, digestion, and sleep can occur within 1–2 weeks.
Q3: Are these juices safe for children?
Yes, but reduce portions and avoid added honey for children under 1 year old.
Q4: Can I use a juicer instead of a blender?
Absolutely. A juicer will extract pure juice, but a blender retains more fiber—great for digestion and fullness.
Q5: Should I replace meals with these juices?
Not necessarily. These juices are supplements—not full meal replacements—unless tailored as part of a detox or fasting plan.
