All Other Fresh Juices Recipe

Wash and trim produce

Thoroughly wash all fruits and vegetables under cold water. Peel citrus and pineapple, core apples, trim carrot and beet ends, and peel ginger if using.

Cut to size

Chop larger items (apples, pineapple, beets, carrots, cucumber) into pieces that will fit comfortably into your juicer chute or blender (roughly 1–2 inch pieces). Tear mint leaves from stems.

Assemble and feed

Assemble the juicer according to manufacturer instructions. Turn it on and feed the base fruit/vegetable pieces through the chute a few pieces at a time. Alternate firmer items (carrot, beet, apple) with softer ones (orange, pineapple, cucumber) to help extraction.

Add complementary produce

Add the chosen complementary ingredients (ginger, lemon, celery, mint) into the juicer along with the base produce. If using salt or honey, reserve them to stir into the finished juice.

Collect and taste

Collect juice in a pitcher. Stir and taste, then adjust by adding a squeeze of lemon, a pinch of salt, or a small amount of honey/agave if desired. Serve over ice or chilled.

Blend to liquefy

Place the chopped base fruit/vegetable and complementary produce in the blender. Add 1/4 cup cold water or coconut water to help blending. Blend on high until fully liquefied, 45–90 seconds depending on blender power.

Strain (optional for smoother juice)

Place a fine mesh strainer over a pitcher or use a nut milk bag. Pour the blended mixture through, using the back of a spoon to press solids and extract as much liquid as possible. Discard or save the pulp for another use (baking, compost).

Season and chill

Taste the strained juice. Add honey/agave, a pinch of salt, or more lemon to balance sweetness and brightness. Chill briefly or serve over ice.

Pour the fresh juice into a glass. Garnish with a mint sprig, a thin citrus slice, or a small grated piece of ginger if desired. Consume immediately for best flavor and nutrient retention; refrigerate any leftovers in a sealed container for up to 24–48 hours and shake before serving.
