DO NOT substitute with non-organic fruits and veggies. Juicing non-organic produce is a big fat NO. Why? Because juicing fruits and vegetables grown using pesticides and chemical fertilizers just concentrates those unwanted chemicals in the juice, and can cause you to absorb even more pesticides than you would by simply eating them.
For example, the herbicide Roundup is one of the most toxic substances you can put in your body. Concentrating a chemical like Roundup with a press-type juicer and drinking it is extremely harmful. This really goes for using ANY type of juicer.
Make sure that all produce that passes through your juicer and into your glass is organic, always. This applies not just for seasonal foods - like apples - but for any ingredient that may be out of season or unavailable. If you can’t obtain an organic ingredient, simply leave it out for the time being.
There are NO scenarios where non-organic ingredients can, should or are to be substituted for organic ingredients. NEVER. People who have done this have quickly found it to be detrimental on their path to wellness.
This is especially true of root vegetables - like carrots, for example - which absorb toxins in the soil.
Make the juices without the missing organic ingredients until they become available again.
