Juice on-the-go

Q: I work in an office job and am there for about 9 to 10 hours a day. I cannot bring a juicer to work but I can bring fresh juice. What is the best way to bring juice to work?

A: Jill, I love this question!! I, too, work in an office all day. But I love to bring fresh juice when I can...

This is what I do:

1) I juice my juice the morning of the day I want to bring juice...you don't want your juice to get toxic or go bad so it's really the only way. If you have a Greenstar juicer, then it's possible but the fresher the better.

2) I store it in a stanless steel thermos. It doesn't allow light in to kill any nutrients and keeps it cool. I also have used a dark glass amber bottle (leftover from something I bought at the supermarket).
I put it in the refrigerator when I get to work, and you should do that too, if possible.

Tips: Try not to allow much air to get into the bottle as it can warm up the juice and make it oxidize quicker.

P.S- Avoid plastic bottles. Many contain BPA and something happens to the air & juice inside of them and I've had a few explode on me(after leaving it in there too long, of course)!
