The latest update for The Best Juice Bars in NJ is written by Lindsay Podolak.
If you’re ready for a new and improved you, then you’re ready for some juice. Not the kind that comes in a sippy cup or box, but the kind that revitalizes, reenergizes and refuels your body. Put simply: Juicing extracts the juice from fruits and veggies. The result is a liquid that contains most of the vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients that are contained in the whole fruit.
According to the Mayo Clinic, juicing can help your body absorb nutrients more easily. It also allows your digestive system the opportunity to rest instead of breaking down fiber found in whole fruits and vegetables. Additionally, juicing helps remove toxins from your body, boost your immune system and aid in weight loss. If you’re new to juicing, or are just ready to reawaken your inner green goddess, these are the bars pressing the good stuff.

The cold press process enables the extracted living enzymes to remain intact in the juice for up to 72 hours.
