How to Prepare
You'll need a juicer for this recipe. We like Breville and Nama brands. This recipe makes approximately two 16-ounce glasses or four 8-ounce glasses of green juice.
- Wash all your produce thoroughly to remove dirt. If possible, use organic produce to avoid harmful chemicals and pesticides.
- Cut veggies to a size that will allow them to fit into the feed shoot for juicing.
- Turn on your juicer and add produce to the feed shoot.
- Once all ingredients are juiced, stir the liquid to combine. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best taste and maximum nutrient content.
Tips for Making the Best Green Juice
- Chilled Juice: Add ice cubes to the pitcher and stir before serving.
- Drink Fresh: Freshly pressed juice loses nutrients quickly. Aim to drink it within an hour of juicing.
- Store Properly: If you’re making juice ahead of time, store it in an airtight glass container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Lemon juice will help to preserve it naturally because of its citric acid content.
- Adjust to Taste: If the juice tastes too "green" for your liking, balance it with fresh ginger root, a small apple, or carrot for natural sweetness.
When to Drink Green Juice
The best time to drink green juice is on an empty stomach, such as first thing in the morning or mid-afternoon. This allows your body to absorb nutrients more efficiently. It's great for a Daniel Fast detox or cleanse.
Why Freshly Pressed Juice Beats Bottled Juice
While it might be tempting to grab a bottle of green juice from the store, freshly pressed juice is always a better choice. Here’s why:
- No Preservatives: Homemade juice is free from preservatives and additives often found in store-bought varieties.
- Higher Nutrient Content: Fresh juice retains more vitamins and enzymes than pasteurized juices. Also, it's not watered down.
- Customized Flavor: You can adjust the recipe to suit your preferences, adding or subtracting ingredients as needed.
