Fix and swap

Didn't come out right? Fix it.

  • Too sweet

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

  • Too sharp

    Add a few zucchini pieces or a small carrot wedge to soften the edge.

  • No zucchini?

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

  • No carrot?

    Use sweet potato. Keeps sweetness, but changes body and aroma.
