1. Read the instructions of your juice extracting machine before beginning to juice.

2. If possible juice organic fruit and vegetables. When organic is not available, clean your vegetables with a fruit and vegetable wash and vegetable/fingernail brush to remove chemicals, waxes and pesticides.

3. Always peel citrus fruits, but leave on the white, pithy part of the peel as in contains healthy bioflavonoids.
Leave the skins on all other produce.

4. When you see a green portion at the top of carrots remove this as it may contain a toxic substance.

5. It’s a good idea to slice open your fruits and vegetables to ensure that they are fresh inside and have no
bugs hiding within.

6. To ensure you are getting the maximum goodness out of your fresh juices, drink them as soon as you can
after juicing.

7. When juicing fine leafy vegetables like spinach or herbs like parsely, compress it into a ball with your hands, then put it between a harder fruit or vegetable like apple or cucumber. That way the lighter fruit won’t fly out into the pulp container.

8. As soon as you bring your vegetables back from the market, try and wash them all at once. This means it will require less time when you are making your own juice.

9. When washing your juicer, always thoroughly clean the centrifugal juicing sieve / strainer with a brush to ensure it doesn’t get clogged. A clean sieve will separate the juice from the fiber more efficiently.

Happy juicing.

Cheers!

To make a juicy turkey. Soak the turkey in a brine 8 hours before cooking. Then drain it. Pat it dry. You'll have a moist flavored turkey.

Leave the skin on, that's the best part! I put oil on the turkey so the skin becomes crispy.

A few more miscellaneous juicing tips for all to enjoy.

1. if you want to keep your juice over night or take it to work, pour it into a drink bottle, cover the top with plastic wrap, then put the lid back on over top of the plastic wrap. This will a) keep your juice (or smoothie) fresh.... and stop any ingredients going brown as well as cool.gif stop your juice from leaking while carrying it to work (really annoying, it used to always happen to me).

2. A tip for smoothie making. Most people think of banana as the only option for a thickener in smoothies, think again! Try using an avocado instead. It may sound strange, but avocado's are delicious in a smoothie.... especially with berries to give it a bit of a bite. Avocado doesn't make for the prettiest color in a smoothie, but it's delicious, and avocado's are one of the few true super-foods in terms of numerous health benefits.... plus avo is a 'good fat' so it'll fill you up and keep you going.

Hi alexa,

I can't get the turkey in the blender to make my turkey juice, do you have to kill it first?
