Glow-ups are becoming more and more fashionable these days. There are hundreds of beauty products and techniques out there, but the best are the ones that come from nature themselves. Like vegetable juices.

From green juices to Dr. Ludwig Johnson’s 5×5 technique, vegetable juice recipes are delicious and brimming with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. While the term “detox” is often misused, these juices can certainly contribute to a healthy, balanced diet.

Remember, whole fruits and vegetables are always best, but these juices are a fantastic way to add some extra nutrients to your routine and keep you glowing, Muza.
