• Citrus fruit juice is delicious and creamy, plus it is more nutrient rich than citrus juice that is manually
pressed.
• If cucumbers are waxy, peel them before you juice them.
• When juicing, softer ingredients should be juiced before the harder ones. As a rule, softer ingredients
should be juiced at the low speed, while harder ingredients are juiced on higher speeds (refer to Juicing
Chart, page 7).
• 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 see what your favorite combinations are.
• Carrots make a great and tasty base for vegetable juices, and apples do the same for fruit juices.
• Beets and carrots both have naturally high sugar content, so when added to vegetable juices they balance
out any bitter flavors juiced vegetables may have.
• Use your 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.
