Tips & Variations

• Apple Type: Use red apples for a sweeter juice, green apples for a more tart and detoxifying flavor.

• Add Mint: A few mint leaves can make the juice more refreshing.

• Boost Nutrition: Add a handful of spinach or cucumber for extra nutrients.

• Sweetener: If needed, a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup can be added, but usually the apples provide enough natural sweetness.

• Storage: Fresh juice is best consumed immediately, but it can be refrigerated in an airtight jar for up to 24 hours.
