Hi Michele

The three most important things are to protect the juice from oxygen, heat

and light. Sure, the juice does have the most nutrients when it's fresh

out of the juicer, but the sources I've read indicate that while it's best to

drink the juice sooner, that they are also okay up to about 24 hours. It's

not that the spoil after 24 hours, of course, but that the nutrient content

is higher the sooner you drink them. So if you juice in the morning and put

it right into the jar with the lid on securely and keep it reasonably cooled

you should be just fine and have quality juice through the work day.

I just use regular glass jars and make sure the lids are on tightly. That's

good enough for a short term storage. I really don't think you need

professional canning jars for this.

Do you have a plan for what you're going to juice? I'm starting today and

looking forward to this!! I'll have carrot/beet juice in the morning

and straight apple juice later on in preparation for the gallbladder cleanse

tonight.

I know this might sound weird to some people, but I'm really excited about

this!

in health,

Hi everyone,

About to embark on a fruit and vegetable 'fast' and am trying to sort

out the logistics of this. Basically, having to go to work in an

office for 5 days of the week and can't 'lug' in my juicer to and fro

from work each day (and due to lack of cash - cannot afford 2!). I

was just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to keep the juice as

fresh as possible from preparing this in the morning to drinking it

for lunch at my desk?

Cannot find any 'canning jars' in the UK, I've seen mentioned in

websites (to keep the juice airtight) and concerned that all the

goodness will have gone if I store it on a normal container and keep

in the fridge.

Realistically, how much 'goodness' will be lost doing it this way?

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Michele

Firstly, I have been informed that you should never mix fruit and veggies at

any time, other than apples. I will look up the reason why and post

separately for you but they react apparently.

Secondly, you cannot keep 'juice' fresh for any length of time, once the air

gets to it it start to oxidise and you lose all the nutrients - are you not

including any fibre in your fast at all? If you are then you could perhaps

have fresh fruit for your lunch, watermelon & melon are both very good and

full of water anyway, then you could have the veggie juice for your evening

meal.

I have read this in some places also and I believe it has something to do

with the digestive juices varying for processing fruits than for vegetables.

Other sources, though, say that you don't really need to worry about it.

(as always - varying opinions from varying sources!)

I would be interested to know where you read this and how quickly you think

the juice loses all the nutrients. If that really was the case, then what

would be the point in juicing if it can't be kept fresh for any length of

time?

I have a couple of juicing books at home. When I get back tonight I will

look in them to see specifically what they say about storage of juices.

Hi, ,

I have a friend name Sue, and I think that she posts on here sometimes. She

took a class in juicing. I know that there's a way to preserve it. I think,

if I'm not incorrect, but you can put a little powder Vit. C in it and it

keeps longer or something. I think that you can preserve it for 24 hours,

something like that.

All the books that I have recommend only juicing enough for immediate

consumption due to the loss of nutrients, which is the whole point of

drinking the juice in the first place. To be honest, if you were eating an

apple, banana, pear etc., you would not eat half of and save half for later

because they would go brown and no longer be edible within a very short space

of time, it is the same for the juice, although you would not necessarily see

the deterioration.

You are right about the fruit & veggies, I will still try to find the info

that I received because I thought it was very feasible once I read it.

Hi, nne,

That's what i always thought that it needs to be fresh. And I never thought

about freezing it. A good idea if you want to take it to work with you or

something. I do know that there is something that preserves it, though, and

I almost think it's Vit. C powder. I may be wrong.

Just my two-cents here, but I would probably use a regular " Thermos " . That's a

brand name here in the states, but it applies to any container that's insulated

and has a core. It keeps

drinks hot or cold. Most people use it for coffee. They make really nice

coffee caraffes that are like this, and you don't have to unscrew any lids, you

just push a tab/button and

pour. That's what I'd do if I had to take it with me to last the whole day.

They are air tight, insulated, and will stay chilled for at least 8-12 hours, I

think. Some are quite

large--at least a quart, maybe two.

Hi - how do you know that the juice has lasted, you say yourself that

it tastes different when you get further down the bottle? Have you ever

thought about juicing in the evening, freezing your juice and taking it with

you frozen so that you are getting a lot more benefit from it. If you want

to drink some early on, you could take just the one bottle unfrozen. You

will find that decanting it from one bottle to another, pumps lots of oxygen

into the juice, you would be much better off leaving it in the same bottle.

As for your colleagues thinking you drink the same rubbish as them, are you

healthier than them? Do you have less days of sick than them? If the answer

is yes, would it not be a kindness to share your 'secrets' and do you really

care what they think?

well, I for one am glad that you mentioned freezing. I never thought about

it, but it makes sense. It would come in handy if you needed it for a later

date, even in cooking something later or whatever.

It should keep and be almost as potent as when

it was freshly juiced, for no more than 24 hours. Thats about as long as

you should store it for.

Thanks a bunch, Sue. Now I remember exactly what you told me.

I have developed quite a good system.

Every evening I prepare the fruit & veg I want the next day. I normally go for

carrots, apples, radish & beetroot. When prepared I place them in a water

filled bowl to keep them fresh and put them in the fridge.

In the morning I can chuck the whole lot straight in the juicer. It takes

less than 5 mins to juice then maybe 20 minutes to wash the juicer. I

normally make about a litre and a half of juice (6 cups I think).

Juices keep better when they are cold so keeping the whole lot in the fridge

overnight means the juice starts off cold.

Living in the UK I haven't managed to find these super storage jars but if

you walk into Tesco's and find the soft drinks section you can buy packs of

6 small plastic lemonade bottles for just over 1 GBP. Each bottle holds

250ml (1 cup?). Tip the contents away and us these to hold the juice. Fill

right to the very top so no air is trapped.

I think it is better to have lots of small containers than a few bigger ones

as the juice is exposed to the air less. Even though each bottle contains

the same mix I can taste a difference between the end of a bottle and the

start of a new one which makes me thing the juice is going off as I drink

it.

In the morning I place these juice filled bottles in a small cool bag in my

ruck sack with an ice pack and take them to work.

I sometimes vary the juice I drink which can produce some strange colours so

( being in the UK ) I pour each of my juice bottles into a black plastic

Tango bottle to drink it from ( also from Tesco's soft drink section).

People at work see me drinking the same unhealthy stuff as them and don't

question the strange colour of the juice as they can't see it! This Tango

bottle is twice as big as the juice bottle so I can add mineral water to

dilute if I wish.

Each day I take nothing but juice up until lunchtime except if I feel really

hungry I have a apple.

I'm sure the juice would last quite well past lunchtime but I choose to

drink all of mine early in the day to get the best out of it.

Seems to work for me!

....thanks for the great idea. How long have you been doing this and

in what ways has it bettered your health? I always feel better when I

juice. In my case, I feel more supple and have an overall feeling of

well-being. Betsy

As for storing fresh juice.........If you heat it or freeze it, you damage

it. The only way to keep it like it is freshly juiced is to go ahead and

juice your vegies or fruit or whatever, get the juice into a container and

add some vitamin C crystals. It should keep and be almost as potent as when

it was freshly juiced, for no more than 24 hours. Thats about as long as

you should store it for.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Hi Susie,

What is the reason we have to store our juice? We should always drink fresh

juice if we can. The vitamin C crystals will keep the juice from losing its

vitamin and mineral content, but only for 24 hrs. It shouldn't be stored

any long than that.

Freezing is much better than heating it to store it. But nothing can

replace fresh juice.

Hope this helps,

Sue
