How To Make Cold Pressed Juice – 2 Easy Method

Do you know how to make cold pressed juice? Cold-pressed juice is packed of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and it’s created without the heat of a juicing machine. The liquid components of the juice are separated from the solid, fiber-filled shell during the juicing process. Sharp blades in a centrifugal juicer (like this one) break down vegetables into a pulp. The juice is then released by spinning a motor at high speeds. Those blades generate heat, which can kill the juice’s vital enzymes.

A cold press or masticating juice extractor, on the other hand, squeezes and crushes the pulp in the same way. Is cold pressed juice therefore preferable to the alternative? For starters, it produces a more concentrated product, requiring less consumption. Cold-pressed juice is also more nutrient dense because some vitamins and minerals are destroyed by heat or lose their voracity when exposed to oxygen in the centrifuge.


How to Make Cold Pressed Juice with a Juicer

Remember to invest in a masticating juicer rather than a centrifugal juicer if you want real, 100 percent cold-pressed juice. Either type produces a wonderful juice that is simple to prepare: Simply place your produce in the machine. The majority of it doesn’t even need to be peeled or chopped (but check the owner’s handbook to be sure). Looking for the best cold press juicer, we have a list you can check.


Step 1: Select your Veggies

To get started, most juicers don’t require any chopping or peeling. Large products, such as carrots or apples, may need to be sliced in half to fit into the hopper. You may also want to remove tough peels from fruits like pineapple or citrus to avoid hurting the machine.


Step 2: Drop ’em In

Turn on the juicer according to the directions that came with it, place the vegetables into the hopper, and enjoy the results of your labor!

How to Make Cold-Pressed Juice Without a Juicer

Making juice without a juicer is surprisingly simple! All you’ll need is a blender (our Test Kitchen uses one), as well as your favorite fruits and veggies. Keep in mind that the blender will produce some heat while it purees your vegetables, so if you really want to get the most nutrients out of your produce, you might want to try our juicer approach below.


Step 1: Chop Your Veggies

Choose your favorite juicing vegetables, such as apples, carrots, leafy greens, beets, ginger, or anything else appeals to you. To help them break down in the blender, give them a hard chop. Anything between 1/2-inch and an inch in diameter should suffice.


Step 2: Add Water and Blend

Depending on how full the blender is, add 1/2 to 1 cup of water. You can always add more water, and it’s doubtful that you’ll overdo it, so don’t get too worked up about the amount. Start the blender and purée the vegetables until there are no lumps left. When everything appears to be rather liquidy, you’ve completed your task!


Step 3: Strain and enjoy

In your blender, there will be a lot of pulp, which is good, edible fiber if you like it. You’ll want to strain off the sediments if you want a juice cleanse-like juice. Because a mesh strainer isn’t fine enough for the job, we recommend using cheesecloth or a clean pair of pantyhose or stockings to line it.
