Juicing while working out

Hey guys,
So I am planing on starting juicing on the next month for 30 days (since I am fasting for this month and to get my tools and knowledge perfectly so that I don't mess it up and lose weight). But I also want to workout and build muscles

So I was/am planing on going to the gym 4-5 days a week or maybe 6 if I am really feeling energetic and good, to build muscle and lose weight, I am thinking of dropping the cardio (elliptical) since I am doing the juicing and just stick with some swimming in the pool instead, and also spend at least 40-60 mins on the weights and machines.

Now the problem is that (from my knowledge) juicing alone won't provide protein to build the muscles, So do you guys have any plans? am I wrong about this? Also how many juices do I drink daily and what does each consist of? :O Really appreciate all the help and tips :)

    There is nothing wrong at all with juicing as long as you make sure that you are meeting your calorie goals and meeting your macros, especially protein and fat. In other words, homemade juices are just extras because they taste really wonderful. They have no magical value and are not meant to be used alone.
