Fix and swap

Didn't come out right? Fix it.

  • Too sweet

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

  • Too sharp

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

  • No cabbage?

    Use romaine. Keeps yield, but shifts the base flavor.

Storage

Serving: Green-forward juices can be easier to enjoy with citrus, mild fruit, or cucumber for balance.

  • Mint Finishup to 8 to 10 leavesAdds a cool herbal finish to cucumber, melon, and citrus-forward juices.
