The 5 Minute 6 Step Juicing System

Step by Step Instructions For Juicing

 

For all these juicing recipe simply follow my 5 minute step by step instructions.

Step 1

Wash all veggies and fruits. Going through this thorough cleaning process will help prevent a nasty food-borne disease. I love to use organic vinegar because it is the most natural and organic solution, buy there are other options available if you prefer using products that are specifically designed for washing vegetables and fruits.

Step 2

Peel and cut all your fruits and veggies. Remember, you are juicing raw vegetables. This is why you need to cut them into small pieces before you get started. Especially if you are applying crunchier fruits and veggies such as carrots. Some high speed or high power juicers or a combination of juicer/blender like the Vitamix are able to take veggies and fruits in their whole form. In this case just follow the manufacturer's manual. Peel the skin of all your veggies and fruits. You also need to peel fruits like apples, melons, bananas, papaya, mango, pineapple, kiwis, banans, avocados, etc.

Next cut and chop the fruits and veggies such as leafy greens and fruits.

Step 3

Put your fruits and veggies into your favorite juicer or blender or a combination of juicer/blender (Nutribullet) and strictly follow the directions of the manual that comes with your machine.

The manual will tell you what buttons to punch and what speed to use.

Juice the softer fruits/textures first.

You will see that when you are juicing the crunchier veggies and fruits they will help you push the softer and more delicate fruits and veggies through the blades.

If you are not using a juicer and only have a blender available, make sure to first strain the juice from citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, grapefruit, etc. When you are finished you can either leave the pulp inside the juice or take it out. It is totally up to your preference.

Next add the juice back to your mixture in the blender and proceed from there.

Step 4:

Juice and blend everything together as per instructions from your manual. You can always add some raw honey or sweetener depending on your goal with these juices. If the juice is too strong for you, you might also add some ice cubes or source water.

I only add ice cubes and water to smoothies, but some friends of mine who got started with juicing told me that some of the juices were too strong for them and they added ice cubes or water. In the summer time, ice cubes might be a refreshing alternative.

You will see that experimenting with your juicing process will help you discover many varieties and alternatives which makes juicing such a fun and exciting experience.

Step 5:

Try a variety of fruit and vegetable mixtures. As you experiment with juicing, you will find many combinations that you will enjoy on a daily basis. Some that pair well include apples with carrots, and leafy greens with kiwi. Try anything you want to taste. Create several go to recipes for yourself that you can use to make a healthy habit out of juicing.

Step 6:

The last step is a very important one if you want to enjoy your juicer/blender for a very long time.

Make sure to clean your machine ASAP and once you are done with your juice.

This helps prevent nasty bacteria growth and in order to prevent any diseases that related to hygiene.

Use warm water and dish soap. You can also use vinegar to clean and then run the pieces through the dishwasher.

If you do not have a dishwasher take extra care with the cleaning process.

Step 7:

Make sure to add lots of fiber to your smoothies, eat whole fruits and veggies throughout the day in order to stay balanced otherwise you might risk a dietary deficiency.
