O Que Você Precisa Saber

Chef Tips

- If using pineapple, remove the fibrous core to soften the bitterness and facilitate processing in the cup. - Blend the fruits for a maximum of 1 minute to avoid degrading vitamin C or excessive foaming. - Preferably serve without straining to keep the dietary fibers intact in the glass.

Variations

- Add a small slice of peeled fresh ginger before blending to bring spiciness and a thermogenic effect. - Blend together with ice cubes to turn the drink into a creamy slushie consistency. - Replace part of the water with cold lemongrass or green tea infusion for an aromatic version.

Substitutions

- O açúcar cristal ou refinado pode ser substituído por 1 colher de mel, melado de cana ou adoçante natural. - A água gelada filtrada pode ser trocada por água de coco natural bem gelada ou água mineral gaseificada. - O mix de frutas sugerido pode ser adaptado para melancia, polpa de maracujá ou manga fresca.

How to Store

Consume the fresh juice immediately after preparation to enjoy all the micronutrients without any change in taste. Leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator in a closed, dark glass bottle for up to 12 hours, stirring well before drinking.

Can You Freeze It?

It is not recommended to freeze juice already blended and diluted in water, as the pulp separates and the flavor loses its original freshness. For best use, cut fresh fruits into pieces and freeze in small bags for up to 3 months, blending frozen at the time.

What to Serve With

Accompanies natural sandwiches with whole wheat bread, light ricotta pâtés, stuffed tapiocas, or leaf salads with grilled items. Excellent for composing the breakfast table or the afternoon snack.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the juice acquire a bitter taste if it is stored for hours?

Compounds present in the pulp and peels of citrus fruits oxidize in contact with air when crushed; to minimize bitterness, consume soon after blending or store sealed in a dark container.

Can I replace cold water with coconut water in any fruit?

Yes, coconut water pairs perfectly with pineapple, strawberry, or orange, adding natural sweetness and minerals without changing the refreshing properties of the recipe.

How to keep fresh mint leaves without darkening?

Blend part of the mint with the ingredients to release its aroma and add fresh whole sprigs to the glasses only at the moment of serving to prevent the leaves from wilting or oxidizing.

É necessário coar o suco antes de servir?

Coar é opcional; manter a polpa preserva fibras essenciais para o trânsito intestinal e reduz a velocidade de absorção dos açúcares naturais da fruta no organismo.
