Making juice

How to Prepare a Juice

  • Select fruits or vegetables you’ll be using for your juice.
  • Wash thoroughly.
  • Line juicer’s pulp basket with plastic bag for easy clean-up.
  • Cut or tear produce into pieces that will fit in juicer.
  • Turn juicer on and Start Juicing!
  • Each juice should be at least 16 oz.
  • If your juicer has more than one speed, don’t forget to down-shift from high to low for softer fruits. Most juicers come with a chart in the instruction manual to help guide you on speeds. Usually hard produce like apples or beets are on High, and soft ones like spinach or cabbage are set to Low.

Juicing Tips

  • Remember to drink water throughout the day. Juices do not replace water intake.
  • Green Apple/pear is optional in all juices – use 1 to 2 apples or pears per juice.
  • Lemon, lime, mint and ginger root can be added to any juice.
  • Make juice in big batches in the morning and bring enough with you to get you through the day until you return home. Bring juice in any BPA free container and store in a refrigerator. Shake well before drinking.
  • Have celery juice or coconut water after a workout or sauna, to re-hydrate.
