Juicing tips for fruits and veggies

Juicing is a popular way of consuming fruits, vegetables and sometimes protein powder. Although fiber is lost in the process, juicing can still be of value, particularly for those who need a reduced fiber diet, are struggling to add more vegetables to their diet or want a portable snack free of added sugars or unhealthy fats. Here are some practical tips for preparing and storing your juice blend.:

Prep ingredients in advance: Chop fruits and vegetables, and portion out protein powders or other additives in advance. This makes it easier to throw together a blend when you're short on time.

Store in airtight containers: Reducing the amount of contact with air will help maintain freshness.

Refrigerate juice: If you don’t plan on consuming your juice right away, store it in the fridge. Typically, juice will remain fresh for 3-4 days.

Freeze for freshness: Freezing fruits, veggies, and even prepared blends in portion sizes ensures they stay fresh longer and makes preparation faster.

Whether you’re preparing smoothies, shakes, or other blends, keeping your process efficient ensures that you have quick, nutritious options ready whenever you need them.
