Helpful Tips
• If using ice when blending, use 1-4
cubes for a thin, chilled shake or use
5-10 cubes for a thicker, pudding-like
consistency shake.
• Berries and green leaves can be juiced
or blended based on your preference.
• Cut fruits and veggies like apples and
beets into pieces that t the food
chute if needed.
• Some protein powders have
thickeners added. This will increase
the thickness of your shake.
• Less liquid = thick shakes, more liquid
= thin shakes.
• If you add celery or cucumber, make
sure to watch the amount of liquids
you add.
• Be careful not to force any food
into the opening that is too big nor
apply excessive force to the pusher
as this might result in jamming the
blade, causing a thermal Cut O and
stopping the blade.
• Turn the machine ON before adding
fruits and veggies.
General Guidelines for Juicing
• Juice softer items rst and then follow
with harder ones, i.e. juice tomatoes
rst and then celery.
• Always serve juices immediately. After
seconds, it starts to lose nutrients.
• Use apples and carrots to sweeten
veggie mixes.
• When juicing leafy greens (spinach,
cabbage, herbs, etc.) always roll into a
ball before feeding through the chute.
• Skins: juicing with them is a personal
preference.
• Stems: remove them as they don’t
have nutritional value. Only grape
stems are benecial.
• Seeds: removing them is
discretionary.
• Citrus Fruits: We recommend that
you to remove the skins and seeds
from citrus fruits due to their tart
avor, but it is a personal preference.
• Do not juice Bananas, Avocados and
Coconuts as they don’t produce juice.
Blend them with your juice for a
thicker drink or smoothie.
• Use the Pulp! Save the pulp from
the lid and pulp collector to use it in
innumerable healthy ways.
• Smoothies: add juice, ice, low-fat
milk or yogurt in your blender to
prepare healthy and tasty smoothies.
• Muns, Breads and Pies: fruit and
veggies provide ber and a sweet
taste to your dough.
• Favorite Dishes: (Meat Loaf, Quiches,
Casseroles, Lasagna, Soups, Stews and
more) Veggie pulp adds thickness and
avor to your favorite recipes.
