7 Expert-Tested Tips to Maximize Your Slow Juicer's Performance

In our comprehensive testing for the December issue of Santé magazine, we evaluated several slow juicers alongside traditional models. Based on hands-on experience, here are proven strategies to unlock your slow juicer's full potential.

  1. Always consult the instruction manual first. Each model has unique features and settings, plus tailored guidance for optimal juicing of fruits and vegetables.
  2. Alternate hard and soft produce for higher juice yields and smoother results.
  3. Don't discard the pulp—repurpose it in recipes like pies, cakes, spreads, or soups to minimize waste.
  4. If your juicer has a dedicated pulp container, line it with a bag to simplify cleanup.
  5. Prepare multiple servings at once. Fresh juice lasts up to two days in the fridge or can be frozen for longer storage.
  6. Perfect for using leftovers like forgotten apples or half a cucumber—turn them into nutritious juice.
  7. Go beyond fruits and veggies: experiment with fresh herbs for enhanced flavor and nutrition.
