Pro tips

  • If the mint stems are green and soft you can juice those as well.

  • Grapefruit peels have a bitter flavor, so be sure to remove them before juicing.

  • Juice only the white bulb of the fennel for the best color. If you are not concerned about color, you can juice the green fronds as well.

  • Want to take your presentation up a notch? Garnish with a mint leaf, fennel fronds, or grapefruit slice!

  • We recommend using red grapefruit or pink grapefruit. In a pinch, however, you can use other types (like white or ruby grapefruit).

  • If you want a little added kick and/or if you want more detoxing properties in the final juice, try adding fresh ginger.
