Notes
- Slow (masticating) juicers get the most juice from fruits and veggies and handle leafy greens well. Centrifugal juicers work for the softer recipes but struggle with kale and other greens.
- Not So Sour Apple isn’t recommended for centrifugal juicers.
- Cut produce into eighths (or the sizes in the ingredient list) so the juicer doesn’t have to work as hard.
- Follow your owner’s manual for the order to add ingredients. Most juicers like softer produce first, then harder.
- Remove the peel from lemons to avoid bitterness. Oranges can be peeled too for a milder taste.
- Carrots and cantaloupe don’t need to be peeled. Remove the skin and core from pineapple.
- If your juicer doesn’t take bananas, skip the banana in Tropi-Kale and Kale Kickstart, then blend it into the finished juice instead.
- Antioxidant Blast: if regular beets are too strong, swap in golden beets, which are sweeter and milder. Add the beet greens too.
- Cucumber Cooler: add a leaf or two of fresh mint for a refreshing twist.
- Drink right away, or chill for an hour before serving.
- Nutrition is for one 12-ounce serving of Green Goddess.
