Substitutions

Spinach – Instead of kale, you can use spinach for an equally healthy beverage.
Pears – Substitute pears for the apples. Ripe Bartlett or Seckel pears are the best because they are the sweetest.

Storage

Refrigerating:

Use an Airtight Container. Transfer the juice to an airtight container or jar. This helps maintain freshness and prevents the juice from absorbing odors.
Store in the Refrigerator. Keep the juice in the refrigerator. It’s best consumed within 24-48 hours to enjoy the maximum flavor and nutritional benefits. Freshly juiced beverages can lose nutrients and flavor over time.

Freezing:

For Longer Storage. If you want to store the juice for a longer period, you can freeze it. Use freezer-safe containers or silicone ice cube trays for portioning.
Leave Room for Expansion. When freezing, leave a little space at the top of the container to allow for expansion as the juice freezes.
Thawing. To thaw, transfer the frozen juice to the refrigerator and allow it to defrost overnight. Shake or stir well before serving to recombine any separated ingredients.

Tips for Freshness:

Minimize Air Exposure. To reduce oxidation and maintain freshness, try to minimize air exposure when storing the juice. An airtight container or jar is key.
Rejuvenate with a Quick Shake. If the juice separates after refrigeration, give it a good shake or stir before serving to recombine the ingredients.

Avoid Extended Storage:

Consume Quickly. While it’s tempting to make a large batch, juice is best enjoyed fresh. The flavor and nutritional content degrade over time, so try to consume it within a day or two for the best experience.
