Best ways to enjoy it
The beauty of this juice lies not just in its health benefits but also in its versatility! Serve it in a tall glass, perhaps garnished with a slice of orange or a sprig of mint for an elegant touch. You can also pair it with breakfast items like pancakes or yogurt for a well-rounded morning meal. Fancy a smoothie bowl? Use this juice as a base and top with granola and more fresh fruit!
Keeping leftovers fresh
Wondering how to store any leftovers? Great question! Fresh juice is always best enjoyed immediately, but if you happen to have some left, you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just make sure to give it a good shake or stir before enjoying again. Freezing is also an option — pour the juice into ice cube trays, and once frozen, transfer the cubes to a bag for a refreshing addition to smoothies!
