I tried some Odwalla Carrot Juice once and it was terrible (compared to the real thing). Odwalla juices are Flash Pasteurized, so it's not something you'd want to become habit forming.
Experienced fasters, who are fairly 'clean', can go quite a while on pure water. If you don't have a juicer, I'd recommend blending carrots and water, and then straining it.......WY

no odes for odwalla
they're odious
what's the point drinking anything "good" once its flash pasteurized?
that's just like shooting your crops , setting it on fire
and saying its alright cuz it happened in a "flash"
so no biggie

Not really. Fresh juice must be consumed within 30 minutes of being made in order for you to receive the benefits. Drinking Odwalla would just fill you up for a bit but it wouldn't provide nutrition you need during a serious fast.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend a water fast unless you are seriously hard core. Granted in Biblical times they did water fasts but they didn't have to deal with toxic bodies.

Go to Overstock.com or Ebay or somewhere and get yourself a juicer. Fresh juice cannot be compared to anything bottled or canned!

Raine.....What juices are you drinking on your 30 day juice fast? I'm on day 4 of a 28 day juice fast. I'm drinking wheatgrass juice, carrot w/celery, and citrus. Today I've had only citrus.......WY
P.S. 'Scratch' my question. I just read your post at 'Vegetable Juice Fasting'.

when locked in boston children's hospital after my sons birth and being unable to leave because of breastfeeding (some nurses are horrible at supporting moms in this, if i was not available when they said, not when he said), i had to live off of six odwallas a day as i couldn't live off of the sad, sad withered fruit they had in the cafeteria. i made mad breastmilk, but must admit it was a hard time on my body and mind since the hospital environment was toxic. it doesn't allow for the purity and cleanliness and lightness of mind and vision that true juice fasting does.

my husband is on day 9 of a 40 day juice fast, i'll probably be jumping in for the last 10 days.

blessings on this time for you!

peace,
Mama Cass
