Frequently Asked Questions

→ Do I need a specific type of juicer?
While a cold-pressed juicer is ideal, any juicer will work. Cold-pressed juicers typically extract more juice and preserve more nutrients.
→ Can I make this without a juicer?
While best with a juicer, you can use a high-powered blender and strain through a nut milk bag, though the yield and texture will be different.
→ How long does this juice last?
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Remember to shake well before drinking as separation is natural.
→ Can I make it less sweet?
Yes, simply decrease the amount of pineapple and increase the celery or spinach to reduce the sweetness.
→ Should I peel the ginger?
It's optional - you can juice ginger with or without the peel. If your ginger is fresh and clean, keeping the peel is fine.
