General Guidelines for Juicing
• Juice softer items first and then follow with a
harder one i.e. juice tomatoes first and then
celery
• Always serve juices immediately. After
seconds, it starts to loose nutrients
• Use apples to sweeten veggie mixes and
carrots blends well with fruits
• When juicing leafy greens (spinach, cabbage,
herbs, etc.) always roll into a ball before
feeding through the chute.
• Skins: juicing with them is a personal
preference
• Stems: remove them as they don’t have
nutritional value. Juts grape stems are
beneficial.
• Seeds: removing them is discretionary
• Citrus Fruits-We recommend you to remove
the skins and seeds from citrus fruits due their
tart flavor, but it is a personal preference
• Do not juice Bananas, Avocados and Coconuts
as they don’t produce juice. Blend them with
your juice for a thicker drink or smoothie.
• Use the Pulp!-Save the pulp from the lid and
pulp collector to use it in an innumerable
healthy ways…
• Smoothies: add juice, ice, low-fat milk or
yogurt in your blender to prepare healthiest
and tastiest smoothies.
• Muffins, Breads and Pies: fruit and veggies
provide fiber and a sweet taste to your dough

Lasagna, Soups, Stews and more: Veggie pulp
