Mixed Vegetable Juice (Vegetables Other Than Tomato) (1 Cup)

Choose a juice that is mostly low-starch vegetables such as cucumber, celery, spinach, kale, zucchini, cabbage, or leafy greens; limit carrots, beets, sweet potato, and corn in the blend.

Keep the fiber by blending whole vegetables rather than straining them into a clear juice; add chia seeds or ground flaxseed if tolerated.

Have the juice with a protein-rich food such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, or unsweetened soy yogurt instead of drinking it alone.

Add a small portion of healthy fat, such as avocado, walnuts, almonds, or tahini, to help slow absorption.

Use a smaller serving, such as 4–6 oz (120–180 mL), and drink it slowly rather than consuming a large glass quickly.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after drinking it, if safe and practical for you.
