A common question I get is, \u201cWhat is the best juice to make?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any juice is better than no juice and so first things first: Don\u2019t get your head wrapped up around an ideal of the \u201cbest juice\u201d or the \u201cperfect juice.\u201d That will lead to inaction via paralysis-by-analysis. Or you\u2019ll feel guilty for not drinking the best juice and thus juice nothing at all. As a matter of first principles, \u201cJust juice<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, some fruits and vegetable pack in more nutrition per ounce than others. Our dozens of\u00a0dozens of\u00a0juicing recipes\u00a0incorporate the most nutrition foods in the most palpable way. Our juicing recipes rely in large part on the ANDI scale.\u00a0That is, we seek to pack as many \u201chigh ANDI\u201d score foods in each ounce of juice as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Juices and the ANDI Scale or ANDI Score<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An\u00a0<\/strong>ingenious\u00a0system created by\u00a0Dr. Joel Fuhrman, ANDI<\/strong>\u00a0is short for\u00a0Aggregate Nutrient Density Index<\/strong>.\u00a0The ANDI score is based on a food\u2019s content of:\u00a0Calcium, Beta Carotene, Alpha Carotene, Lutein & Zeaxanthin, Lycopene, Fiber, Folate, Glucosinolates, Iron, Magnesium, Niacin, Selenium, Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc, and the food\u2019s ORAC. (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity measures how many free radicals a food will \u201cdestroy.\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c1000\u201d is a perfect score, and any good over 100 is very very good for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
