How long does cold pressed juice last?
If kept well chilled, cold pressed juice should last in the fridge for up to 3 days in a tightly sealed glass bottle. Store your juice in the main part of the refrigerator, not the door, and keep it towards the back where the air is usually colder.
Overall freshness and shelf life of juice can vary based on the ingredients used, as juices with higher acidity tend to last longer. Be sure to include lemons, limes, oranges and even cranberries in your blends to extend the life of your juice!

Instructions
For any of the above juice varieties
- Assemble all fruits and vegetables listed under the desired heading (eg add all ingredients under the green juice heading if you'd like to make the green juice recipe). Wash produce well to remove any soil, trimming the ends/leaves off of beets and carrots, and removing any apple stems or citrus peels.
- Add a pitcher or container under juicer spout. With the motor running, place produce bit by bit into the feed chute of the juicer, using the food pusher to gently and slowly guide the produce down. The slower you go, the more juice you will get. I use the Breville cold press juicer linked to above this recipe card.
- As fruit and veggies are processed, juice will flow into the pitcher, and the separated pulp will accumulate in the pulp container. If you'd like to make more than one juice, rinse the feed chute, filter bowl/basket and dispose of juice pulp before starting again with another juice combo.
- Once juice of choice has been made in your pitcher, you should end up with approximately 600-800 mL (20-27 fl oz) of juice concentrate. Because this is a concentrate, I usually add another 4 cups of water to the pitcher and then divide the pitcher among four 16 oz glass bottles. You are welcome to divide the juice concentrate by 4 servings without adding water and enjoy that way as well.
- Juice will keep up to 3 days in a sealed container in the fridge.
