Choose fresh and suitable ingredients
First, choosing fresh ingredients is an important factor. Nutritionists recommend that to prevent juice from layering quickly, you should choose fruits and vegetables with high water content such as watermelon, cucumber, or orange. These ingredients will help create a unified mixture and reduce the risk of layering.
According to Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, nutritionist and author of The Paleo Approach: "Fruits that are high in water will help the juice mixture become more uniform and easier to mix without quickly layering".
Use fiber or add some natural adhesives
Another tip to help juices stay layered longer is to add fiber or natural solvents. Adding a small amount of chia seed powder, flaxseed or gel from spirulina algae can help increase the stickiness of the juice, keeping the ingredients in the juice inseparable.
Dr. Michael Greger, author at NutritionFacts.org, said: "Fiber is not only good for the digestive system but also helps increase the thickness of juices, thereby preventing the ingredients in the juice from splitting up too quickly".
Quickly refrigerate the juice
In addition to choosing ingredients and adding allowances, cooling juices also plays an important role in keeping juices layered for a long time. When the juice is quickly cooled, the molecules in the juice tend to remain homogenous, helping to reduce the ability to decentralize. This can be done by putting the juice in a glass bottle and putting it in the refrigerator immediately after processing.
Choosing fresh ingredients, adding fiber or natural solvents, and quickly cooling juices are important steps to keep the juice fresh, uniform and nutritious.
