TIPS AND HINTS
-
All nuts must be soaked prior to juicing. See chart on page 7 for details.
-
When making mixed juices and nut “milks,” it is best to have the juice spout in the closed position to allow the juice/milk to self-mix prior to dispensing.
-
Extracted juice captures about 95% of the nutrients from fresh fruits and vegetables. Drinking extracted juice is a fast and efficient way for your body to digest and absorb all of those nutrients. Digesting whole fruits can take about an hour; extracted juices take only 15 minutes.
-
Freshly extracted juices are an excellent aid in weight management and in cleanses, which rid the body of toxins.
-
Always use fresh, organic and seasonal produce. Organic produce is grown without synthetic fertilizers and chemicals, which is very important when juicing whole foods. Buying foods in season is considerably less expensive than purchasing off-season, and flavors are much better.
-
Wash all fruits and vegetables immediately after purchasing and store them in the refrigerator. This way they are ready to juice at any time.
-
Always juice fresh fruits and vegetables as soon as possible after purchasing. The longer produce is held, the more nutrients are lost.
-
Fresh juices should be consumed immediately. They lose nutrients as they sit.
-
Certain fruits should be peeled before juicing. Examples are pineapples, melons, mangoes, papayas, citrus – any fruit with skin that you cannot eat. Also remove all pits and hard seeds from peaches, cherries, mangoes, etc.
-
Citrus fruit juice is delicious and creamy, and rich in nutrients.
-
If cucumbers are waxy, peel them before juicing.
-
Juice the softer ingredients before the harder
-
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 in this booklet are a guideline, but the possibilities are endless. Experiment to discover your favorite combinations.
-
Carrots make a great and tasty base for vegetable juices, and apples do the same for fruit juices.
-
Use your Slow Juicer 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.

NUT “MILKS”
Cashew Golden Milk
There are so many health benefits to both turmeric and ginger (anti- inflammatory and immunity support), but an added bonus is that when the two flavors are together, they are really delicious. We find that the full-bodied cashews complement the flavors of the popular “golden milk” really well.
Makes 2 servings
- 1 cup cashews, soaked in water for a minimum of 8 hours, or up to overnight
- 1 cup fresh, cold water
- 1 1-inch piece fresh turmeric root
- 1 ½-inch piece fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch freshly ground black pepper Pinch fine sea salt
-
Drain the cashews and rinse with cold Put into a large, liquid measuring cup or bowl, with the 1 cup of cold water.
-
Turn the juicer to the ON position, with the juice spout closed, and begin to process the cashews, one scoop at a time, and the turmer- ic and ginger. Gradually add all of the cashews and the water.
