Do you simply drink all of that juice at once, or do you store some for later consumption? If so, any idea how long the juices keep their nutrients in the fridge? My roomate and I have been storing the juice in mason jars and have 1-2 jars a day….nothing older than 48hrs old.

Interested in your thoughts and recipes!

is there a difference, in terms of getting your nutrients, between juicing and blending. I have a juicer but hate that it takes a lot of veggies to get a glass of juice. (and not sure what to do with the rest other than toss it out)

Great article! I recently have started making juice from time to time. I use my Vitamix and strain the juice from the pulp (and actually eat the pulp separately…I kind of like it).

I use:
1/2 a lemon (peeled, but throw the rest in)
1 apple, cored
2 or 3 big handfuls of kale
1/2 a cucumber
Sometimes a bit of parsley

Great article, Nuno! Here’s one of my regulars (I actually make this in a blender, not a juicer):

– 1 large bunch of spinach (or kale….but beware, kale will make the end-product very bitter)
– 8-10 shavings of fresh ginger root
– 5-7 mint leaves
– 1 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary
– 3-4 pieces of broccoli
– 1/3 tsp. turmeric (careful on the turmeric…it is very potent)
– dash of cayenne pepper
– 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
– 1 banana
– 1/2 tbsp. flax seed
– 1/2 an avocado
– 1/2 cup water

When I give out this recipe, oftentimes people expect something like Jamba Juice. You’ll have a better experience if you think of this recipe as medicine instead of as a treat.
