•Always juice fresh fruits and vegetables as soon as possible after purchasing. The longer produce is held, the more nutrients it loses.
•Fresh juices should be consumed immediately.
They lose nutrients as they sit.
•Certain fruits should be peeled before juicing.
Examples are pineapples, melons, mangoes, papayas, citrus – any fruit with skin that you can- not eat. Also remove all pits and hard seeds from peaches, cherries, mangoes, etc.
•Citrus fruit juice is delicious and creamy, and richer in nutrients.
•If cucumbers are waxy, peel them before juicing.
•Juice the softer ingredients before the harder ones.
•When juicing herbs or leafy greens, juice them in the middle of a combination of ingredients in order to extract the greatest amount of juice.
•Use your taste to guide you on fruit and vegetable combinations for juices. The recipes provided are a guideline, but the possibilities are endless.
Experiment to discover your favorite combina- tions.
•Carrots make a great and tasty base for vegetable juices, and apples do the same for fruit juices.
•Beets and carrots both have a naturally high sugar content, so when added to vegetable juices they can balance out any bitter flavors juiced veg- etables may have.
•Use your Compact Juice Extractor in tandem with your blender. Blend fresh juices with ingredients like bananas, yogurt, and protein powders for delicious power smoothies.
•It is also possible to make a healthier, fresher version of your favorite cocktail with fresh juices.
•Blend fruit juices with sparkling water or seltzer to make a natural soda.
•The pulp that is separated from the juice has its own health benefits. It is high in fiber and can be used in a variety of ways. See our recipes as guides on how you can incorporate the fibrous pulp into your diet.
