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