Notes

Keep a 3 to 1 ratio of vegetables to fruit. Overdoing it on fruit can add a lot of extra sugar to your diet. You could quickly drink the juice of 3-5 apples, but could you eat 3-5 apples?  I couldn't. 
If you did this too much, you might start packing on the pounds or feel some energy dips and crashes.  So, to avoid too much sugar intake, keep your juice at least a 3 to 1 ratio.
