Didn't come out right? Fix it.

    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 pineapple wedge to soften the edge.

  • No jicama?

Storage

Citrus-forward juices can taste brightest soon after pressing. For best flavor, enjoy within 24 to 36 hours. Shake gently if it separates, keep it cold, and discard questionable juice.

Serving: Citrus-forward recipes add bright flavor and vitamin C-rich produce to the glass.

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.
