I want to have freshly squeezed juice every morning along with my breakfast but there is hardly much time to do it all. Is squeezing it the night before okay or does the juice lose its benefits if kept overnight?

I believe it’s okay to preapere your juice night before and keep it in the fridge. There are two things you should be careful: 1)Conserve the juice well in the fridge 2)Consume it in the next morning. Leaving the juice for a night is okay but it will probably lose the benefits if you wait more than that to drink it.

I understand your concern, You could squeeze it the night before and freeze it. That ,I believe would keep the nutrients available for your morning. I would take it out when you drink your water to thaw, exercise, shower, have a protein rich breakfast your juice should be thawed by then or you could have an orange popsicle or just maybe an orange. 1 fresh orange would be adequate nutrition instead of 2 or 3 that it would take to make a glass of juice. I don’t drink juice to often I don’t need all that sugar it is quite a bit. I have issues with sugar if I would drink sugar in the morning it would cause a roller coaster effect of going high then crashing low and then I crave something sweet( sugar, crash, sugar again. My healthy intentions for the day would go away

Here’s the deal; as soon as you juice the chemicals start to degrade. However, it isn’t fast and the colder the juice, the slower the process. 98% benefit juice is infinitely better than no juice. Overnight juice is exponentially better than store bought juice.

i don’t think the juice would entirely lose its benefits if it is squeezed the night before, but it is better to do it in the morning. you could try doing it the night before and see if it makes a difference though. and you could always wake up a bit earlier to get it done if you really want to.

It is perfectly fine to make it the day before, but keep it in a bottle of container you can shake. The juice will separate during the night.

No, it doesn’t lose its benefits. Think- natural orange juices can be made and stored for a period before being served without diminishment of flavour or goodness so overnight isn’t an issue.

Juice shouldn’t lose it’s benefits overnight. If it’s less stressful to do it the night before- do it! Otherwise set your alarm for 1-2 mins earlier and make the juice a meditation and thank you to yourself in the morning as part of your routine.

I drink a smoothie every day and I always make it the night before then put it in the the fridge and I enjoy it. But, I do know that the enzymes in a juice won’t stay active for more than thirty minutes. Also pressed juice develops bacteria quickly if not used fast enough. So I would suggest drinking a smoothie that you can make the night before. Smoothies have many valuable nutrients and vitamins they always seem to keep me full!

Fresh squeezed overnight is fine - the vitamins will still be in the juice, not to mention it will taste great cold from the fridge as well.

It’s best if you try to make some time to squeeze right before drinking in th morning it reduces the chances of oxydizing.
