💡 Expert Tips
Optimal Fennel Size: When chopping the fennel, aim for smaller pieces. This ensures more efficient juicing and a smoother blend using a blender.
Ginger Proportions: Start with a small amount of ginger and adjust to taste. Its strong flavor can be overpowering, so it's best to add gradually until you find your perfect balance.
Straining for Smoothness: Don't skip the straining step if you prefer smoother juice with the blender method. It helps remove excess pulp, giving you a cleaner, more refined juice.
Chill for Refreshment: Serve the juice chilled for an extra refreshing experience. An hour in the fridge can enhance the flavors and make it more enjoyable; otherwise, you can also use chilled ingredients to save time.
Pulp Utilization: Get creative with the leftover pulp. It's packed with fiber and can be used in various recipes like veggie patties, added to compost, or even as a base for a homemade facial scrub. See our post on what to do with juice pulp.
✅ Health benefits of fennel juice
Digestive Health: Fennel is renowned for its ability to soothe the digestive system. It can help reduce bloating, gas, and stomach cramps, making it a go-to remedy for digestive discomfort.
Rich in Antioxidants: Fennel and oranges are loaded with antioxidants, crucial for fighting off free radicals in the body. These antioxidants contribute to overall health and can help in preventing various diseases.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties: The anti-inflammatory properties of ginger and fennel can be beneficial in reducing inflammation in the body, which is key in preventing chronic diseases.
Supports Immunity: Both orange and fennel are excellent for boosting the immune system with their high vitamin C content. This can help your body ward off colds and infections more effectively.
Promotes Hydration: As a juice, fennel is a great way to stay hydrated, especially on hot days or after a workout, while also providing essential nutrients. This makes fennel juice one of the best hydrating drinks.
May Aid in Weight Loss: Fennel juice can be a great addition to a weight loss diet. It's low in calories and can help reduce water retention, contributing to overall weight management.
🥡 Storage
In the Fridge:
- Keep it Chilled: Transfer any remaining juice into a sealed container and store it in the refrigerator. For the freshest taste, enjoy it within two days.
- Freshness Counts: Although refrigeration preserves the juice, it's always best when enjoyed fresh.
In the Freezer:
- Freeze for Future Use: If you've made more juice than you can consume quickly, freeze it in an ice cube tray or a container suitable for freezing. This is great for adding to smoothies or for later use.
- Defrosting Know-How: To thaw frozen juice, leave it in the fridge overnight or let it sit at room temperature for a few hours.

❓ FAQ
Fennel juice can be suitable for children, but it's a good idea to dilute it with water to make it milder and more kid-friendly. Always consider any specific dietary needs or preferences your child may have.
Peeling the orange helps reduce bitterness and enhances the juice's taste. It's recommended, but you can leave the peel on if you prefer a more intense citrus flavor. If using a blender, you can squeeze and juice it and pour the juice into the blender.
While fresh ginger provides the best flavor and health benefits, you can substitute a pinch of ground ginger. Keep in mind that the flavor may be slightly different. You can also skip the ginger.
