29 Healthier Juice Habits: 1. Consume additional servings of whole fruit and vegetables. Juice should only be one of your five cups per day. 2. Dilute 100-percent juice with water or sparkling water for a reduced-sugar beverage. 3. Use juice as a smoothie base and include whole fruits/veggies to provide fibers missing in the juice. 4. Look for juice with added purée/fiber, or look for cloudy juices, or juices with added pulp. These have higher levels of beneficial antioxidants. 5. Look for lower-sugar juices.
