Thank you for this daily intake list. It certainly takes the guess work out of getting your daily recommended intake of fruits and vegetables. This is going on my fridge.
I have a juicer and apparently am learning how to use it more effectively.
Just made my first “green” juice. It was very good. Seems like a lot of pulp left over that could be put in a salad or something.
