Your ‘healthy’ green juice has more sugar than a LARGE DAIRY MILK
Why have green sludge when you can have a bar of chocolate?
Everybody is jumping on the juice cleanse band wagon whether its for health, energy or that famous summer bod.
If you paid attention to the NHS, you’d probably know that your sugar RDA is between 50 and 70 grams.
Sipping on green juices is an easy alternative to getting your recommended five a day but it is also enough to give you a sugar rush.
