Juicing in Numbers
I took it upon myself to juice each fruit and vegetable separately so I can get an approximation in ounces. Keep in mind the amount will slightly differ depending on the type of juicer used.
Juicer: Jack LaLanne's Ultimate Power Juicer
- Apples (48oz/3lbs/approx. 11 apples): 26oz ~ 31/3cup(s)
- Blueberries (11oz): 4oz ~ 1/2cup
- Cantaloupe (1): 19oz ~ 21/3cup(s)
- Carrots (32oz/2lbs): 14oz ~ 12/3 cup(s)
- Celery stalk (approx. 11 ribs): 11oz ~ 11/3cup(s)
- Cucumbers (2): 11oz ~ 11/3cup(s)
- Kale (3 leaves): not accurate
- Pears (bartlett): 11oz ~ 11/3cup(s)
- Spinach (9oz): 5oz ~ 2/3cup
- Strawberries (16oz/approx. 19 strawberries): 8oz ~1cup
- Tomatoes (4): 8oz ~1cup
During my short time of juicing, I had to put some of the pulp back in the juicer (ex. kale or parsley) because the blade didn't get them the first time around. I would suggest juicing leafy vegetables first then adding the other fruits/vegetables.
Soon I will be sharing my first day experience, which was less exciting than the juicing part.
Happy Juicing, till next time!
