Fix and swap

Didn't come out right? Fix it.

  • Too sweet

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

  • Too sharp

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

  • No pear?

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

  • No romaine?

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

Storage

Leafy green juices are often most pleasant soon after pressing. For best flavor, enjoy the same day. Shake gently if it separates, keep it cold, and discard questionable juice.

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

Optional boosters

  • Mint Finishup to 8 to 10 leavesAdds a cool herbal finish to cucumber, melon, and citrus-forward juices.
  • Chia Textureup to 1 teaspoonAdds light texture to finished juice after the seeds hydrate briefly.
