Expert Tips

Save some time and prepare your vegetables and fruits by washing and cutting them ahead of time, just place them in an airtight container or mason jar overnight in the refrigerator. You can store them for up to 3 days. You can also include your kids in meal prep.

• If you cut your apples ahead of time, squeeze about a teaspoon of lemon juice on top of it to prevent the apples from oxidizing and turning brown.
• It is best to drink this juice freshly made, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in an airtight jar.
• It is not necessary to peel the cucumber, it can go right in the juicer.
• If you do not have a juicer, you can use the Vitamix, I like to strain the mixture from it otherwise the juice is a bit too thick.
• Adding parsley is a great nutritional addition to this juice.
• If you want to use the leftover pulp, here are some quick ways:
  • Add in a smoothie for extra fiber
  • Make a vegetable broth, just strain it after
  • Add as a thickening agent in soup
  • Great in vegan muffins

Storage and Reheating Green Goddess Juice

• This Green Goddess Juice tastes best when consumed fresh but if you manage to have leftovers or make extra, you can store them in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
• I do not recommend freezing this juice. The oxidation process reduces the nutrients from the ingredients, which is why it is most beneficial to enjoy this Green Goddess Juice fresh.
• It is best to enjoy this drink raw so there is no reheating option here.

Variations

• I like using green apples in this recipe but any type of apple or even pears will work well here.
• Arugula or microgreens are great vitamin additions as well here.
• Want some added protein, feel free to blend in a tablespoon of your favorite nut butter or plant-based protein powder.
