How to Store Fresh Juice to Maximize Nutrition up to a Week

In this episode, you will learn the top 6 tips you can use to store your fresh made juices, smoothies or leftovers in your fridge in a glass mason juice with the excess air removed.

While making your juice and drinking it fresh is always best, making a fresh juice and storing it and drinking it later with the tips I share in this episode is still better than drinking most other beverages or processed foods that are consumed in the USA.

You will learn the critical information you need to know to store your juices for up to a week if you are going on a juice fast, a juice feast, a juice cleanse or solid food vacation.

Along the way, you will also learn many other juicing tips that John has learned over the past 23 years he has been juicing on a regular basis.

you are the reason I am gardening now. My brother gifted me a juicer. I have my greens planted and can't wait to get to juicing daily. I hope my garden grows well this year.

John I bought a juicer from you last week. I love it! Your videos sold me on the benefits of juicing and also saved me from making a huge mistake on choosing which juicer to buy! Thanks for all you do.

Right after juicing freeze it, I have a freeze drier and think that would be a perfect way to store, packaged correctly can store for 30 years!

The Green Star juices ANYTHING soft if you are willing to mix it with some carrot. The carrot is like a Green Star Roto-Rooter.

Thanks John! If you’re ill and really can’t juice often, one thing I did was buy a 15 vacuum sealer and some lids and I vacuum the juice AND freeze it. It lasts for about a week, maybe two, but I like it to taste like it was just made. 😉🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this! I’m actually in the process of opening up a fresh juice delivery business. You have taught me everything I know about juicing!!
Hearing your story of why you started juicing was powerful because I felt as though this idea was “given to me”. It’s amazing to think the same force that saved your life may be the same force that gave me this idea.
Thank you again for everything you do John!! I would love to get in touch with you!

[delightedbylight]

Love you man ! You are the guru in juice and juice making <3

[happynessadict]

i have that food saver device, it really works
i vacuum seal all my jars for food storage and salad in a jar last so much longer
also extra salad dressing ....got one since many years
i got the machine and the machine pulls air at least for 30 sec before it stops
so i don't know how 10 pumps would stack up tho

[robertoi.]

man you are the master yoda of juicing! I've learned so much from you. I'll definitely buy a juicer from your page for sure ;-) thanks for all the info!

[cheryl-friendc]

Just a wealth of information in your video's! Thank you! I am saving for the Green Star Elite.

[lovelettersfromlori]

Another fabulous vid, John...ty so much for your invaluable info. When I get a new juicer, I'll be choosing the tribest greenstar pro & will use your link.

[minabobina]

Learned sooo much!!! Thank you! I'll use your link to get that food saver some time 😃

Another stellar video! Just wanted to make a quick point about lemons. Lemons are the one thing that organic they are fairly expensive. They are really expensive compared to conventional. I think a small bag of organic are 5.99 while a small bag of conventional you can get at the dollar store. BUT, I learned that lemons have two fungicides, one that enters the rind but the other one soaks into the fruit. It's a bit of a dilemma as you don't get much out of lemons but they are needed. But, 5.99 vs. 99 cents. 5.99 the way a person could go through lemons could get really expensive and not have enough to buy other organics that you can eat.

I struggle with this a bit as I definitely want lemons but don't want to pay so much for something without sustenance. Yet, at the same time I don't want to drink the juice of a fruit that has fungicide.

Additionally, there is that entire unknown category. If it's certified organic they label it but maybe some of the conventional lemons in the store are actually organic too without the fungicide and they just don't go with all the regulations and payment to get the certification so they can't say it on the label. This unknown group of vegetables and fruits it would be nice to have more information instead of guessing....and it probably doesn't have pesticides. Maybe it does. maybe it's soaked in some chemical.

Not a problem if you eat a small amount. But, if you buy the same fruit each week like a certain bag of lemons or clam of tomatoes and that has chemicals on it....toxic chemicals....it could cause chronic toxicity and actually be the poison pill and ruin everything a person is doing. It's so contradictory and ironic that a great deal of the people that juice do conventional due to lack of availability and cost. And, in this case, it's possible they are doing more damage to themselves....if they are consistently eating a high pesticide herbicide fungicide product like say conventional apples or spinach.

Hi John, I wish I would have known about the price matching earlier 😔. I have learn a lot from your videos, and you inspire me to start juicing.

[laurelsternberg]

How do you wash the vegetables before juicing? Thanks, John!

[enriquerivas]

What an amazing video WOW
I have been thinking for months now about how to remove the air from the mason jars. THANK YOU

[flexnetuser]

Hey John, your videos are so very inspirational. Do you ever get your AIC checked ( tells how your average blood sugar has been for the last 3 months, costs $ 30)
I also have a blood sugar meter, GE brand, cost 10.00.
It’s helped me as I have insulin resistance. Just two bananas spike my blood sugar to 170. I’ve been ill so can’t exercise much but if I walk/ jog extremely fast for at least 6 minutes, slowing down for a bit if it’s too much, my blood sugar can drop 60 points. I know this sounds incredible, but it happens all the time. Burst exercise is being studied for diabetes. If I didn’t know this I would be in trouble, as fruit is almost the only thing I can digest ( and a little nut milk, some other stuff) and if I don’t do this burst exercise I’m STILL HUNGRY NO MATTER HOW MUCH FRUIT I EAT. THe sugar does not enter the cells unless I do burst cardio after each little fruit meal. I recommend to anyone who’s at risk to get a blood sugar meter. Peace and health to us all. 😘 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

As long as the jar is filled to the very top, there is no need to vacuum seal the jar at all. The juice has displaced all the air. But, if the jar is not completely full of juice, THEN the vacuum pump is a great idea.

[gladtidingsall]

Bought the hand pump. I already have the Foodsaver vacuum sealer and jar lids adapter but it doesn’t vacuum my juices. Hope the hand pump works for me.
