Juicing is definitely a topic that people like to debate. Some say juicing isn’t a great option because of the fact that you lose the fiber inside the plants when making juices. But in my opinion, as long as you’re getting fiber from other foods, then yes, juicing can be a great option to add in a few times a week!
