What are your thoughts on green juice while pregnant? Only if you make it from home? Are store bought juices (Evolution, BluePrint, Suja) okay even though they are not pasteurized? Or should I just avoid them entirely?
-
Hmm not sure on this one since I don't drink any, but maybe someone else will know!
-
I'm not pregnant, but have heard to avoid unpasteurized while pregnant. However, I would not avoid anything you make yourself (I'm a HUGE green smoothie fan) as long as you wash it properly. Again, I'm obviously not a doctor!

I'd do homemade since I know what goes into it!

I've enjoyed homemade green juice as well as juices I've watched being made. The bottled green juice I've bought has been flash pasteurized though. I've also been drinking a ton of green smoothies!

@JessKas: green smoothies are actually my favorite. I prefer juices to be more carrot/beet/apple/etc... Kale banana almond butter smoothies I can drink all day long!
-
@luckypenny: That sounds really good! What do you use for the liquid?
-
I'd make my own!
-
@JessKas: almond milk!

Talk to your doctor. Pregnant women are supposed to avoid unpasteurized juices.
I think it would be fine to drink green juice or smoothies you've made a home (assuming you are consuming them shortly after making them and not storing them for days in the refrigerator).

I'd just make my own.
