Storage note: Root-forward juices may settle, so gentle shaking before serving is expected. For best flavor, enjoy within 24 to 48 hours. Shake gently if it separates, keep it cold, and discard questionable juice. General recipe education only; calories and yield vary by produce size, ripeness, juicer yield, and serving size.
