| Message from Joe Welcome to juicing! |
Im excited to share my picks for 101 amazing juice recipes, as well as tips and how-to-juice information to have you juicing like a pro. Ive had my fun taste testing and selecting the juices for this book. Ive included some old favorites (including my Mean Green) and have added some new combinations of fruits and vegetables, herbs and spices that evoke the flavors that Ive always loved in great cuisine and from what my mates have told me after sampling our recipes, I think weve come up with some real winners. Juicing is not an exact science. Use these measurements as guides and adjust to your taste. Love spinach? Add another handful to your juice.
Hate beets? Substitute with red cabbage. Have fun trying out new fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices. If youre on a Reboot be aware that not all of these recipes follow the 80% vegetables, 20% fruit rule. Look for the juices designated as Reboot juices. No idea what a Reboot is?

If you dont like an ingredient all together and its used for flavor, like an onion or a radish, just leave it out of your juice. If its a main ingredient, like a beet, try substituting it with a similar vegetable. Theres a substitution chart included at the end of this book to help you out. In general you can substitute a fruit for a fruit of the same color, or a vegetable for a vegetable of the same color and retain the overall nutritional make up.

Its easy but yes, it does take time! These tips and tricks will help make it a fun and smooth process for you. 2) Prepare your grocery list.
Before making a trip to the store or market, make your grocery list so you know exactly how many fruits and vegetables to purchase. 3) Save time.
If you plan on making a morning juice, prepare your fruits and veggies the night before by selecting the ingredients for your juice, washing the produce, placing them in a storage container in the fridge and assembling the juicer in your kitchen so its ready to go. 4) Now, start juicing.
Follow steps on the next page to make your juice and start flooding your body with nutrients. 4) Now, start juicing.

How to Make a Juice 1) Wash produce thoroughly.
Unwashed produce can be contaminated with bacteria so this is an important step in the juicing process. 2) Line your juicers pulp basket.
If you have a juicer that has a pulp basket, line it with a plastic bag for easy clean-up. 3) Cut or tear produce.
Just before juicing, cut any produce that might be too large to fit through the juicer's produce shoot. (Once you start cutting vegetables they begin to lose nutrients, so its best to cut just before juicing. But if you really need to save on time, you may want to add this step to your preparation.) 4) Feed produce through the juicers produce shoot.
If your juicer has more than one speed, dont forget to downshift from high to low for softer fruits. Most juicers come with a chart in the instruction manual to help guide you on speeds.
Usually hard produce like apples and beets are on high and soft ones like spinach or cabbage are set to low. 5) Rejuice your pulp.
Once produce has been passed through the juicer, check to see if your pulp is still damp. If it is, pass it back through your juicer and youll be able to get more juice from the leftovers. (Visit www.rebootwithjoe.com/pulp to learn what to do with leftover pulp.) 6) Drink up and juice on.
At this point, you should have a fresh juice ready to drink. Drink it as soon as possible because once its juiced, it starts to lose nutritional value overtime. If stored properly, it can last 2 to 3 days, but remember that there are no preservatives in fresh juice (which is why we love it!) so it can go bad quickly.
If you prefer it cold, pour over ice. 7) Now its time to clean your juicer.
Carefully scrub your machine with warm water and soap and place on a drying mat. Check the owners manual to see if your juicer is dishwasher friendly for an even easier clean. Tips for Storing a Juice 1) Make a double batch.
Make more than one juice, have half right away, and then store the rest for your juice later that day or the following day. This will help ensure you get the most potent juice possible for at least one serving. 2) Store in the fridge.
Juice will keep for 48 to 72 hours in the fridge (72 hours is maximum time suggested).
If you are traveling bring your juice in a cooler. 3) Freeze.
Freezing is also an option if you will not be drinking the juice within 48 hours. If you do freeze your juice, do it immediately after juicing. Thaw in the refrigerator. Drink within 10 days of freezing. 5) Fill container full.
Fill juice to the top of your preferred container to prevent oxygen from getting in which can deplete the nutrients.
