Day 3: Strawberry-Cucumber Juice
Fun Fact: Strawberries are the third-best food source of polyphenols, antioxidants believed to reduce risk of cancer and heart disease, which Harvard researchers have shown help keep your teeth healthy.
Day 4: Blueberry-Cabbage Power Juice
Fun Fact: Red cabbage and blueberries pack this juice with anthocyanins, which may help keep your memory sharp.
Day 5: Spinach-Apple Juice
Fun Fact: The spinach in this juice provides a healthy dose of vitamin K, which helps keep your bones strong.
Day 6: Ginger-Beet Juice

Day 7: Carrot-Orange Juice
