QUICK TIPS GUIDE

Preparing Fruits, Vegetables & Nuts.

• 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 purchase. The longer produce is held, the more nutrients are lost.

• All nuts must be soaked prior to juicing.

• 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.

• If cucumbers are waxy, peel them before juicing.

• Completely thaw frozen fruits before juicing. Do not use ice.

Juicing Hints & Tips

• When making mixed juices and nut “milk,” it is best to have the juice spout in the closed position to allow the juice/milk to self-mix prior to dispensing.
• Juice the softer ingredients before the harder ones.
• 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.
• 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 can balance out any bitter flavors juiced vegetables may have.
• Blend fruit juices with sparkling water or seltzer to make a natural soda.
• Leave the smart cap open when juicing ingredients that often create foam during extraction. (e.g. apples, celery)
• 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.

Healthy Juicing Facts

• 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.

• Fresh juices should be consumed immediately.
  They lose nutrients as they sit.

• Citrus fruit juice is delicious and creamy, and rich in nutrients.

• 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 fibrous pulp into your diet.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Do not immerse the motor base in water or spray it with water. Clean only by wiping with a damp sponge, cloth or paper towel. Use any liquid dishwashing detergent, but do not use any products containing ammonia or scouring powders, as these products will dull, scratch or mar the finish.
