• 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.
