TIPS
- Chill Ingredients: Refrigerate your produce before blending for an instantly cold and invigorating drink.
- Use Organic Lettuce: Romaine is often prone to pesticide residue; opting for organic options offers a cleaner taste.
- Peel Cucumber (Optional): For a milder flavour, lightly peel the cucumber before blending.
- Add Ice Cubes: Blend with a couple of ice cubes for a frostier finish.
VARIATIONS
- Add Mint Leaves: Include 2 to 3 mint leaves for added freshness and digestive support.
- Boost With Celery: Add a small celery stalk for a touch of saltiness and extra minerals.
- Include Green Apple: Blend in 1/4 green apple for a hint of natural sweetness.
- Switch To Lime Juice: Substitute lemon with lime for a more tropical twist.
- Coconut Water Option: Replace plain water with coconut water for an added boost of electrolytes.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Drink Immediately: Best enjoyed straight after preparation for maximum flavour and vitamin potency.
- Short-Term Storage: Store in a sealed glass jar in the fridge for up to 12 hours. Shake well before drinking.
- Avoid Freezing: Freezing may degrade the juice’s texture and romaine flavour. Fresh is best.
- Pre-Blending Tip: Wash and chop ingredients the night before, then store them in the fridge for quick blending the next day.
