If you’re making a fresh, raw juice or smoothie, add a few drops of any oil (fat). Why? Because vegetable and fruit juices contain vitamins that are soluble in fat – this means they need fat to be transformed and absorbed as a vitamin in the body. If you buy juice at a juice bar, ask the assistant to add some oil. (You won’t be able to taste it!)

Questions:
