Is it healthy to drink cold pressed juice every day?

Yes! Juicing is a fast, easy, and healthy way for your customers to get their daily servings of fruits and vegetables. It’s vitamin, mineral, and antioxidant-rich—and delicious!

When creating your signature recipes, be mindful of the 80/20 rule.

What is the 80/20 rule for juicing?

The 80/20 rule refers to using 80% vegetables and 20% fruits. This rule keeps nutrient content high and sugar content low.

Harvard Health suggests keeping sugar to 24 grams a day for women and 36 grams a day for men. Although the sugar in fruit is naturally derived, at 22 grams, 8 ounces of orange juice contains almost a full day’s worth of sugar. Orange juice also contains over 30 vitamins and minerals!

To serve the widest range of juice connoisseurs, utilize the 80/20 rule for most of your recipes. That said, your health-conscious customers are mindful of their sugar intake and may intentionally choose freshly squeezed juice as a healthy sweet treat.

What vegetables have the highest yield?

Prioritizing juice yield helps to ensure your freshly squeezed juice recipes are profitable. Fruits often have a naturally higher water content so it’s tempting to use more fruit to accelerate juicing. If you’re trying to stick to the 80/20 rule, strategically use vegetables with a higher water content.

This includes:

• Carrots*
• Cucumbers
• Celery
• Carrots
• Beets
• Bok choy

*Be mindful that carrots have around 9 ounces of sugar per cup.

For the highest fruit and vegetable yields, use a Zumex commercial juicer.

What fruit is best for cold pressed juice?

Orange juice is the most popular freshly squeezed juice in the world. Mix things up with different types of citrus fruits including lemons, limes, and mandarinoranges. No need to squeeze by hand as Zumex self-serve orange juicers peel and press.

The second most popular juiced fruit is apples. The variety of apples you use can drastically change the flavor profile of your recipe. Fuji and Gala are the most popular, but you can use any variety. For example, you may prefer the tart kick of a green apple in a green juice.
