How to Create a High Yield Juice Recipe
When formulating recipes, it’s important to keep in mind that some fruit and vegetable varieties make a lot more juice than others. On the “non-juicy” end of the scale we have sweet potato and leafy greens. On the other end we have watermelon and cucumber. Getting a high yield is not just about using juicy produce. You need to create a good balance of both juicy and non-juicy items. The chart above shows some commonly pressed produce varieties and where they fall on the Yield scale. Obviously, the chart is missing hundreds of other varieties, but you can use your imagination to predict where that produce would lie on the chart, since it’s probably similar to something else on this chart. Using This in Practice If you’re formulating a recipe that’s heavy in leafy greens, you can try to balance it out with something on the juicy end of the chart, like cucumber to give you a nice, consistent output. It’s also important to try to balance recipes out going the other way: If your recipe is mostly on the juicy end of the chart, add some more fibrous vegetables from the other end. This creates a better “pomace” for pressing. Ideally, when creating recipes using a real two stage juice press like a Goodnature machine, you want to create pomace that can stay firm, but juicy in the press while it’s operating.

How Virtue Juice Bar Offers On-Demand Cold-Pressed Juice
Offering real pressed juice on-demand has been attempted many times, but I’ve never seen a juice bar successfully pull it off until now. The issue in the past has been that the process required to do it and the equipment available had been prohibitive.

Texas and Florida Surpass NY in Cold Pressed Juice
I was going over some Goodnature sales data, and discovered something interesting that I think is worth sharing.

Within the last few years, things have been shifting and New York has fallen to fourth place, behind Texas and Florida.

X-1 Mini Upgraded Press Kit Now Available
We have recently rolled out a new press component system for the X-1 Mini that makes cleaning easier, and reduces the amount of parts needed for operation. Here are the details: Dishwasher Safe: The new press chamber included in the kit is dishwasher safe. We also eliminated the need for a juice catch tray, which is a non-dishwasher safe part. Eliminated the catch tray: By altering the design of the press chamber and comb system, we were able to eliminate the need for a juice catch tray. This effectively reduces the amount of parts required for operation, and makes assembly and cleaning easier. Lowered Cost: We made the necessary investment in molds and automation to bring down the overall cost of the parts. We are able to pass the cost savings on to our customers, so the new parts can be replaced at a much lower price point. You may even decide to have extra sets on hand to improve your workflow in the kitchen. The biggest cost saving is on the press chamber itself. We were able to bring the price down from $659 to $149 – more than $500 in savings for our customers who need to replace this part or buy extra to have on hand. How to Know if You Have the Original System or the New One If your machine was manufactured prior to January 2022, you likely have the original components. If you’re not sure – look for the juice catch tray (the clear plastic juice funnel that is placed underneath the press). If this part was included, you have the original system. Upgrading to the New Press Kit If you have the original press kit you can choose to upgrade to the new one by purchasing the Upgrade Kit, available on our website. This kit includes all of the components needed to upgrade to the new press components. The upgrade kit is priced at a discount compared to buying the parts individually. By the way, the original system still works great! Upgrading is definitely not required if you would prefer not to make the investment. Buying Replacement Parts When you are shopping for replacement parts in the future – make sure to purchase the right version. The original press parts are labeled as “Original”. The new parts are labeled as “R1” (Revision 1).
