Tips to get the most out of your slow juicer

For the December issue of Santé, we tested several slow juicers and a juicer. After the test period, we know how to get the most out of a slow juicer. A few tips.

  1. Read the instruction manual before use. Different devices have different functions and settings. It's helpful to know them and they contain instructions on how to best juice fruits and vegetables.
  2. Alternate hard and soft fruits. This way you will have more juice.
  3. Do you have pulp left over? You don't have to throw that away, there are plenty of recipes that use pulp. For example, you can use it in a pie or cake, a spread or a soup.
  4. Does your juicer have a separate waste container for the pulp? Sometimes it is possible to put a bag in it, which saves cleaning and cleaning work.
  5. Make several glasses of juice in one go. You can keep it in the fridge for up to two days, but you can also freeze your juice.
  6. A juicer is perfect for using up leftovers. Forgotten apples, half a cucumber… It can all be added to your next juice.
  7. Don't just add fruit and vegetables to your juice, experiment with herbs too.
