Step-by-Step Juicing Method

Step 1: Choose Your Ingredients

Select fresh, organic produce to maximize nutrient content and avoid pesticides.

Example Longevity Juice Recipe:

  • 2 cups of spinach or kale
  • 1 medium cucumber
  • 1 medium carrot
  • 1 medium apple (for sweetness)
  • 1 small beet
  • 1 lemon (peeled)
  • 1-inch piece of ginger

Step 2: Wash and Prep Ingredients

  1. Rinse Thoroughly: Wash all fruits and vegetables under cold running water to remove dirt and bacteria.
  2. Chop as Needed: Cut larger produce into pieces that fit easily into your juicer's chute.

Step 3: Set Up Your Juicer

  1. Assemble your juicer according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. Place a clean cup or jug under the spout to collect the juice.

Step 4: Start Juicing

  1. Feed Ingredients Gradually: Begin with leafy greens and softer produce, followed by harder items like carrots and beets to push everything through.
  2. Alternate Ingredients: Mix fibrous ingredients with water-rich ones like cucumber or celery for smoother juicing.

Step 5: Strain (Optional)

For a pulp-free juice, strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into another container.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Pour the fresh juice into a glass and drink immediately to enjoy the full spectrum of nutrients.
  2. If storing, pour into an airtight glass bottle and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Tips for Effective Juicing

  1. Drink Fresh: Consume juice within 15-30 minutes for maximum nutrient absorption.
  2. Avoid Excess Fruit: Limit high-sugar fruits to prevent blood sugar spikes.
  3. Balance Your Juice: Combine greens, veggies, and a small amount of fruit for a well-rounded flavor and nutrient profile.
  4. Experiment: Try different combinations of ingredients to discover your favorite flavors.
  5. Hydrate: Follow your juice with a glass of water to support detoxification.
