Question about Storing Green Juice made from Samson Juicer

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I'm John, a new member as of today. I returned a few weeks

ago from a life changing experience at the Sanoviv Medical Retreat

in Baja, Mexico. While there I learned abour raw foods, the vegan

lifestyle, etc.

 

The first thing I did upon my return to Seattle is purchase a Samson

6 in 1 juicer so that I could continue my regimen from Sanoviv of

twice daily wheatgrass shots as well as twice daily green juice.

 

I returned to my full-time job last week and am now starting to

struggle with the realities of what it takes to completely change my

diet. Making a shot of wheatgrass, cleaning the machine, then making

two ball jars of green juice every morning is a lengthy and

laborious process - particularly with 2 toddlers yearning for my

attention!

 

So, my question is about storing the green juice. I attended several

hours of lectures while at Sanoviv and learned all about the various

juicers. I remember the nutritionist saying that with the Samson,

one could store the juice for up to 8 hours. The trick is to freeze

a small amount of water in a ball jar overnight, then in the morning

fill it to the brim with the juice. I've done this several times and

have been able to enjoy fresh, cold, green juice while at work.

 

But as I mentioned it takes so long, I'd rather make it in the

evening after the kids go to bed. What if I made the juice in the

PM, stored in the fridge, and then didn't consume it until 10AM and

4PM? Will it truly go bad? I assume that it's better than nothing,

but just want some expert opinions on the matter.

 

In good health,

John

John,

 

Welcome to the group! Be sure to check out RawSeattle.org and our

upcoming potlucks.

 

Regarding the juice, I'm sure there is a gradual decline in the potency

and quality in the juice over time. I doing it in the morning means

added stress and perhaps not following through with the juice, then

certainly, the evening is a better choice. The frozen jar sounds like a

good trick to quickly cool down the juice. I was going to recommend

putting the fresh juice right into the freezer to chill it quickly (up

to an hour, depending on temp.), then transfer it to the frig. You

could combine your pre-frozen jar trick with returning it to the

freezer. Just don't forget it there!
