How to make my carrot juice taste like a juice and not a this grainy smoothie

[Guest guest]

I just got my vitamin and I love to make carrot juice but when I did it was very

pulpy do I need to keep blending it longer?

Unless you strain off the juice, it will be thicker because of the fiber. I

don't recommend straining, but running machine longer, adding some ice to cool

it down after the initial blending and learning to acquire a taste for it being

thicker. You bought the Vitamix for its health benefits, and fiber from a

carrot is one of them. Besides carrots, what else do you add in your juice?

Hi. Sounds like you might need to invest in some sort of a strainer or what

many use is known as a nut mylk bag. You pour the mixed carrot juice/pulp from

the Vitamix into a type of strainer and then squeeze the pulp if you are using a

nut mylk bag (google this term) or press the pulp along the sides of a strainer.

Do this over a bowl or glass..this releases the juice while keeping the pulp

separate. The Vitamix will not juice the carrot fully. I happen to enjoy the

pulp but have days when I want a very liquid pulp free carrot juice. I use a

strainer of some kind for those occasions. There are members who can speak to

this in more detail - including being owners of a Vitamix and also a high end

juicer. Hope this helps. Pam (NY)

I add celery, apple, grapefruit. I guess I should make it like a smoothie. I have been enjoying them. Today I am going to try the greenie smoothie. Thanks so much for your reply.Sent from my iPadOn Nov 19, 2011, at 10:02 AM, "flnancy1958" <flnancy1958@...> wrote:
