Why green juice isn't all it's cracked up to be

In “Why green juice isn't all it's cracked up to be”, Nine examines the misconceptions around green juices and their purported health benefits. Ricardo Riskalla, owner of RawFit and head trainer at IMG Models, advises that green juices should be 100 percent vegetables, with minimal fruit such as lemon, to avoid excess sugar intake.

He highlights that juice is no substitute for whole foods, and overconsumption can impede weight-loss goals. Riskalla’s guidance emphasises understanding what green juice actually provides, managing sugar content, and using it as a supplement to—not a replacement for—a balanced diet.
