What is Juice Plus?

Juice Plus+ as a company is unique in the nutritional supplement world. Their fruit and vegetable-based products are one of the most thoroughly and scientifically researched nutritional supplements anywhere.

Average person Needs 9-12 Servings of Fruits and Vegetables per Day

The average person does not eat a “whole foods” diet much less come anywhere close to eating the 9 to 12 servings of fruits and vegetables that they should eat each day for optimal health. Thus, the average person is highly deficient in the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant-rich phytonutrients found in fruits, vegetables and other plant-based “whole foods”.

How does Complete by Juice Plus Help Fill the Gap?

This is where the Juice Plus+ product line and Juice Plus+ Complete shakes step in to fill the gap. These products provide your body with a much needed nutrition “booster.”

To jump right to the recipes just scroll right on down. But, you might want to read more on what makes a protein smoothie healthy or not.

When It Comes to Phytonutrients, More is Better:

As part of a “whole foods” based anti-inflammatory diet, you should eat at least 9 to 12 servings of phytonutrient-rich fruits and vegetables each day. However, we can also incorporate Complete by Juice Plus+ into our diets because you can’t overdo phytonutrients. When it comes to your phytonutrient intake, more is better.

Be Careful with Vitamins and Minerals

This is absolutely NOT the case with vitamins and minerals. If you over-consume vitamins and minerals there can be toxic consequences. In comparison, getting more phytonutrients from whole foods into your diet will have tremendous health benefits including reducing inflammation, reducing oxidative stress, slower aging and protection against a wide variety of degenerative diseases, including heart disease and cancer. Learn how much is too much here.

What is Juice Plus?

The Juice Plus+ product line is comprised of whole food-based phytonutrient-rich nutrition boosters. Juice Plus+ Orchard Blend and Juice Plus+ Garden Blend are concentrated fruit and vegetable juice powders in easy-to-swallow capsule form.

What is Complete by Juice Plus?

Complete by Juice Plus is a highly convenient “whole foods” based vegan powder blend that not only provides plenty of vitamins and minerals but also a phytonutrient boost.

Complete by Juice Plus+ is a 100% natural plant-based and fiber-rich “clean and green” whole foods shake that is free of animal products, dairy, gluten, wheat, yeast and artificial sweeteners.

Best of all, it fuses whole food nutrition with fast food convenience. And let’s face it; the fact that it’s convenient is important. And finally, unlike some of the other “whole foods” shakes we have tried this powder truly tastes good too. In our book, taste is almost every bit as important as convenience!

What Exactly Are Phytonutrients?

Phytonutrients are disease-fighting substances found only in plant-based foods. Phytonutrients not only help protect and support the health of the plant, but also support the health of YOU, the plant-eater.

Plant-based foods contain literally hundreds of different phytonutrients that work synergistically on many different cellular levels to optimize health. The greater variety of phytonutrients you get the better protection you have. Phytonutrients are one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants. Because, they work to prevent both visible and cellular aging.

Scientific evidence supports the value of phytonutrients in preventing and treating at least three leading causes of premature death including cancer, hypertension and cardiovascular disease. In addition to offering powerful antioxidant benefits, phytonutrients are powerful anti-inflammatory substances that help reduce the systemic inflammation associated with many chronic inflammatory conditions.

Phytonutrients from Whole Foods are Best

It is important to note that taking isolated phytonutrients is not something we endorse. Juice Plus+ does not contain isolated phytonutrients but instead contains phytonutrients in “whole food” form.

For optimal health you need lots and lots of phytonutrients from a mix of all sorts of different plant foods. There are scores of plant foods to eat and each plant food has its own unique phytonutrient makeup.

You Need a Variety of Phytonutrients from Different Plan Foods

In fact, scientists have identified over 10,000 different phytonutrients to date. Importantly, there is no such thing as a magic bullet single “best” phytonutrient because these powerful substances work synergistically as team players. Juice Plus+ “whole food” based phytonutrient boosters in the form of Juice Plus+ Orchard Blend and Juice Plus+ Garden Blend.

2 Most Frequently Asked Questions:

Why Are the Recipes Dairy-Free?

While we don’t completely avoid dairy, we have substantially decreased our dairy consumption over the years. We now only use just a little cheese here and there for flavor, but no other dairy products at all. We prefer plant-based phytonutrient-rich almond milk and hemp milk to dairy milk (both are easy to find in any supermarket and come in soft box containers.) You could also use unsweetened soy milk if you prefer (such as Silk brand) but since Juice Plus+ Complete includes soy we think it’s a good idea to incorporate hemp milk or almond milk for diversification.

hemp seed benefits

Why Do You Use Hemp Seeds in the Complete by Juice Plus Shake Recipes?

We use hemp seeds because they are incredibly nutrient-dense “super” foods. Hemp seeds are rich in essential omega-3 and omega-6 fats and contain about 25% protein and 10 to 15% fiber. They also add a nutty, rich taste to shakes and also provide a rich array of minerals, particularly potassium, magnesium and calcium.

Try THRIVE Market; an Online Nutrition Store

You can purchase hemp seeds in nutrition stores or Whole Foods Market.  Another great place to shop for hemp seeds is THRIVE MARKET for a five dollar per month membership gives you discounts of 20 to 50 percent off what you would get from Whole Foods Market on all kinds of healthy and organic foods and products.  Click HERE for a free trial membership.  For more information on Hemp Seeds click HERE.
