Here’s a clear, practical guide to storing your Watermelon-Carrot-Beet-Ginger Juice to preserve freshness and nutrients:
Storage Instructions
1. Refrigerator (Best Consumed Fresh):
Duration: Up to 24 hours (flavor & nutrients degrade after this).
Method:
Transfer to an airtight glass jar (fill to the top to minimize oxidation).
Add a squeeze of lemon juice to slow browning.
Cover surface with beeswax wrap or plastic wrap before sealing.
2. Freezer (For Longer Storage):
Duration: Up to 1 month (texture softens slightly).
Method:
Pour into ice cube trays for single-serving portions.
Once frozen, transfer cubes to a sealed bag.
Thaw in fridge overnight or blend frozen cubes into smoothies.
Notes:
Separation is normal! Shake/stir before drinking.
Avoid storing with ice—it dilutes flavor.
Pro Tip:
Prep ingredients ahead (chop watermelon, beet, carrot) and store separately in fridge for 3 days, then blend fresh when needed.
Why? Watermelon oxidizes quickly, while ginger’s potency fades. Drink ASAP for max benefits!
