I want to do this...
I read that fresh juice right out of the juicer is best, but it’s not always practical, right? And I don't have the time to be juicing several times per day. So I want to make a batch of juice ahead of time and store it for later. I want to keep my juices for up to 24 hours.
The biggest concern for keeping juices fresh is oxidation. During the juicing process, fruits and vegetables are broken open and their enzymes and other nutrients are released from the fiber. When the juice is exposed to air it gives up an electron to the oxygen in the air, thus oxidizing the juice and making it less nutritionally stable. So, if I can reduce the amount of time the juice is exposed to the air and seal it up quickly I have a better chance of keeping the nutrients intact.
Hot Tips!
* add 1/2 to 1 lemon to your juice recipe. Lemons contain antioxidants and citric acid which discourages oxidation.
* Rinse your juicer (at least the basket) between recipes to keep the flavors separate.
* Each jar holds 2 16 ounce serving (32 oz). Do not drink half and then put it back in the refrigerator.
* You can flash freeze juices following these instructions.
* Glass jars are most ideal.
U just so smart.
