Getting Juicy

[Claire76]

It's just getting into good practice, because I drink so many juices a day, I don't clean out the pulp section at the back every time and just do that at the end of the day (but now thanks to an amazing tip form lucy-livvy'smummy I am now putting a bag in the pulp section so it doesn't need washing at all!!) but as soon as I've finished juicing, I run the jug under a really hot tap to rinse each time. The rest I don't clean out until the end of the day and all of it goes in the dishwasher. The filtery bit that extracts the juice is a bit fiddly to clean and I usually scrub with a toothbrush under a hot tap to get most of pulp off, then into the dishwasher with the rest. Literally 30 seconds to clean up after I've made a juice now, not a problem

I am making just one lot a day Claire! Did the super juice this morning x4 (so a whole cucumber, avocado, pineapple). Had it for breakfast then took rest in flask to work and shared it with my mate for lunch.

Had my normal dinner tonight and tomorrow will do same but a different juice.

What did your mate do to deserve that?

When I read his books before he said you should drink the juices straight from fresh or the enzymes break down and not only will it go a funny colour but all the goodness goes out of it

In all the books he says fresh is best whereever possible. He talks about working 11 hour days and having to get up early to make juices for the day and that you should store in the fridge for up to 8 hours but even after that you shouldnt throw them away.

If you had to make each juice individually then nobody who works could do it!

I was thinking that - thought was no good for me as someone who works everyday!

Hmmmm.... Almost tempted to buy a juicer - but no fridge at work. Maybe a cooler bag or flask?

T. I am sure it would be fine. I used a thermos plastic flip top flask for storing them and it has an insert that goes in the freezer to keep them really cold. If you stuck them in a coolbag with a couple of freezer blocks they would stay cold for ages anyway. I make mine at 8am, drink one and have the other at 12pm so its only 4 hours.

Last time I did the 7lbs/7days programme ( juice only for a week) and felt like i was juicing/cleaning juicer constantly, I find once a day really easy to maintain and I enjoy my evening meal more.
