Fruits & Vegetables

How To Prepare

Apples

Core your apples and remove the seeds before pushing through your juicer.

Blueberries

Rinse in a strainer.

Butter lettuce

Rinse leaves individually, checking for dirt and sand. No need to remove the stems. Roll the leaves up and run through your juicer. Leafy greens move best through your juicer when followed by a harder fruit or vegetable, like apples, celery, or cucumbers.

Carrots

Rinse thoroughly before passing through the juicer and that’s it! You can juice your carrots with the greens and skins still on.

Celery

Rinse thoroughly and add entire celery stalk through the juicer (even the leafy tops).

Collard greens

These are a great leafy green, and can be used if kale (Tuscan cabbage) isn’t available. Wash the large leaves and roll up before juicing.

Cucumbers

Cut the cucumber in half and use it to help push leafy greens through your juicer. No need to peel.

Grapes

Wash your grapes, remove them from their stems, and add them through your juicer. Experiment with all color grapes.

Kale (Tuscan cabbage)

Use any kind – lacinato, red, green, purple, curly, etc. – and add the leafy green through your juicer after rinsing. It’s best to add 3 – 4 leaves at a time.

Lemons

Peel and try to keep as much of the white pith on as possible since the pith contains nutrients that help your body absorb the vitamin C and other amazing antioxidants found in citrus fruits. Cut to fit your juicer and juice. You can keep the seeds in as they contain excellent nutrients too.

Limes

Peel, and try to keep as much as the white pith on as possible (you can use a peeler for that), since the pith contains nutrients that help your body absorb the vitamin C and amazing antioxidants found in citrus fruits. Cut to fit your juicer, and remove the seeds. If you have a centrifugal juicer, you can keep the seeds in. They contain excellent nutrients too.

Oranges

Peel and try to keep as much of the white pith on as possible since the pith contains nutrients that help your body absorb the vitamin C and other amazing antioxidants found in citrus fruits. Cut to fit your juicer and juice. You can keep the seeds in as they contain excellent nutrients too.

Peaches

Cut in half to remove the pit and juice.

Pears

These can be juiced whole. Just wash and slice to fit your juicer, if needed.

Romaine lettuce (Cos)

Rinse leaves individually, checking for dirt and sand. Roll the leaves up and run through your juicer. Leafy greens move best through your juicer when followed by a harder fruit or vegetable, like apples, celery or cucumbers.

Spinach

Wash well because some bunches can have a lot of grit on them. Roll into a ball and run through your juicer using firm produce, like apples or carrots to help push the leaves through.

Strawberries

Just rinse and pop right in the juicer.

Sweet potatoes

Scrub and cut into chunks. Sweet potatoes make a delicious dessert juice.

Tomatoes

Wash and remove stem and any leaves. If they’re large, you may need to slice to fit your juicer.

Watermelon

Makes an amazingly refreshing juice, especially in hot weather. Cut into wedges and remove the skin and rind. You can keep the seeds in.

   

Herbs & Spices

How to Prepare

Basil

Carefully wash the leaves, removing any grit. If your basil seems very gritty, submerge in a bowl of cold water and swish around. Remove and rinse. To juice, tear the leaves off the stems and roll up. Push through with firmer produce.

Cinnamon

Don’t juice this either! Sprinkle ground cinnamon on juices with apple, pear and sweet potato.

Ginger

Peel your piece of ginger by cutting the size that you need for the juice and then take a spoon to peel the skin back. You can also use a knife to cut it but a spoon does the trick. Ginger doesn’t produce much juice but it does add a rich flavor so be careful not to go overboard.

Mint

Wash thoroughly and remove leaves from stem before juicing. Goes great with pineapple, grapes, watermelon or strawberries.

Parsley

Carefully wash the leaves, removing any grit. If it seems very gritty, submerge in a bowl of cold water and swish around. Remove and rinse. To juice, tear the leaves off the stems and roll up. Push through with firmer produce.
