Fix and swap

Didn't come out right? Fix it.

  • Too sweet

    Add more cucumber or a squeeze of lemon to pull the bottle back toward crisp.

  • Too sharp

    Add a few cucumber pieces or a small pear wedge to soften the edge.

  • No pear?

    Use green apple. Keeps sweetness, but changes body and aroma.

  • No plum?

    Use peach. Keeps sweetness, but changes body and aroma.

Storage

Best for mild juices that are most enjoyable soon after pressing. For best flavor, enjoy the same day or within 24 hours. Shake gently if it separates, keep it cold, and discard questionable juice.

Serving: Juices can fit well near a balanced meal or snack, especially when the recipe is fruit-forward.

Yield, prep and calorie ranges are rough planning estimates. Calories come from the recipe's produce types, not a lab test, and everything varies with produce size, ripeness and your juicer. How to use these estimates. This website provides general recipe and nutrition education only and is not medical advice. Read the disclaimer.
