Good To Know
Freshness Priority: Drink immediately after juicing for maximum nutrient retention and enzyme activity – vitamins degrade rapidly when exposed to light and air. Juicer Selection: Masticating (slow) juicers preserve more nutrients and produce higher yields compared to centrifugal juicers, especially for leafy greens. Produce Quality: Choose organic when possible, especially for items on the Dirty Dozen list, and always wash thoroughly regardless of source. Ginger Benefits: Fresh ginger adds powerful digestive support, anti-inflammatory compounds, and natural sweetness while enhancing nutrient absorption. Salt Enhancement: Tiny pinch of sea salt enhances natural fruit flavors, aids hydration, and provides essential minerals without overwhelming taste. Storage Guidelines: If storing, use airtight glass containers and consume within 24-48 hours maximum for safety and nutrition – never store at room temperature. Pulp Usage: Save nutrient-rich pulp for smoothies, baking, or composting rather than discarding valuable fiber and remaining nutrients. Blood Sugar Awareness: Drink with food or protein to moderate blood sugar response, especially with high-sugar fruit juices. Hydration Balance: Fresh juice supplements but doesn’t replace water intake – continue drinking plenty of pure water throughout the day.
steps
Prep:
Wash all produce thoroughly under cool running water, scrubbing skins with vegetable brush to remove dirt, wax, and potential residues even from organic items.
Cut:
Peel oranges and pineapple completely, core apples and pineapple, and cut all fruits and vegetables into pieces sized appropriately for your specific juicer’s feed chute.
Juice:
Process ingredients in order from softest to hardest – starting with oranges/apples, then adding ginger and harder vegetables to help push softer items through the juicer completely.
Balance:
Stir fresh juice thoroughly to combine all flavors, then taste and adjust with fresh lemon or lime juice for brightness and pinch of sea salt for enhanced flavor depth.
Strain:
Optional: strain through fine mesh strainer for ultra-smooth texture, or leave unstrained for maximum fiber content and fuller mouthfeel with natural fruit particles.
Serve:
Pour immediately over ice in chilled glasses for optimal flavor and temperature, or drink at room temperature to fully appreciate the natural fruit complexity and sweetness.
Store:
If not consuming immediately, store in airtight glass containers in refrigerator for maximum 24-48 hours, though fresh consumption within 2 hours provides peak nutrition and flavor.
