Carrot juice recipe

What is cold pressed juice?

The final form isn’t much different from any other juice, except the name comes from the process used to extract the liquid from the produce.

Traditional juicers use a high-speed blade to break apart the fruit and vegetables, separating the pulp from the juice. This process can generate a lot of heat, and that heat can destroy a lot of the vital nutrients which is the whole point of juicing in the first place!

Instead, cold pressed juice is made by applying pressure with a hydraulic press to extract the highest amount of liquid possible. The lack of heat also keeps the vitamins and minerals intact for maximum health benefits.

Juice bars used large machines to make their juice, but now you can easily make your own right at home with the right appliance. It’s a fraction of the cost, and you can make your own favourite combinations with fresh, seasonal produce.

Juicing Recipes {Green, Beet & Carrot Juices}

Is cold pressed juice good for you?

The reason juicing has become so popular is because a lot of necessary vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients are found in the juice. This is especially true when it comes to fruit.

Consuming fresh juice means you can get the same wide range of nutrients in one easy-to-drink glass as you would eating a big bowl of produce! This makes it a convenient way to supplement your diet.

Some of these nutrients can include:

  • Antioxidants
  • Vitamin C
  • Beta carotene
  • Vitamin E
  • Folate

Keep in mind, however, that juicing removes most of the fibre and allows the natural sugars to be absorbed more easily.

Because of that, certain health conditions may prevent you from regular juicing. It’s always best to consult with your doctor before making a major change to your regular routine.

Juicing Recipes {Green, Beet & Carrot Juices}

What is the best fruit to juice?

Fruits that juice the best include apples, oranges, grapes, peaches and pineapple. But that doesn't mean other fruits don't juice well! There are a variety of ingredients and combinations you can experiment with so you can find the flavours and nutrients that work best for you.

While not a complete list, you can find some of the more popular options below.

  • Greens: kale, spinach, cabbage
  • Fruits: apples, pears, citrus, berries, kiwi
  • Vegetables: tomatoes, bell peppers, squash
  • Hydrating: cucumber, melon, pineapple, grapes
  • Roots: beets, celery, ginger, turmeric, parsnips
  • Herbs: mint, wheatgrass, basil, fennel

How long does cold pressed juice last?

If kept well chilled, cold pressed juice should last about 3 days in a tightly sealed bottle. Store it 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 can also vary based on the ingredients used, as juices with higher acidity tend to last longer. So, be sure to include lemons, limes, oranges, and even cranberries in your blends to extend the life of your juice!

Ingredients

Green Juice Recipe

  • 1 bunch kale washed well
  • 4 stalks celery washed well
  • 1 apple any variety
  • 1/2 lemon peeled
  • 2 inch piece of ginger

Beet Juice Recipe

  • 1 large beet washed well & trimmed
  • 2 carrots washed well
  • 2 stalks celery washed well
  • 1 apple any variety
  • 2 inch piece of ginger

Carrot Juice Recipe

  • 3 carrots washed well
  • 1 orange peeled
  • 1 cup frozen pineapple defrosted
  • 1 inch piece of ginger
  • 1 inch piece of fresh turmeric root or 1 tsp dried turmeric

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.
  • 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. Juice will keep up to 3 days in a sealed container in the fridge.
  • NOTE: Make sure to rinse and wash juicer components right after use to avoid pulp and residue from sticking. It's much easier to rinse right away than it is to try and wash later once everything is stuck onto the juicer components (filter basket/bowl, pulp container, feed chute, food pusher, etc.)

Notes

NOTE: Nutritional info is for 1/4 of beet juice mixture. All juices will be approximately the same calorie wise but nutritional info such as sugars may vary per juice variety. For instance, the green juice will have less sugar as beets and carrots contain more natural sugars.
