Plum Juice Recipe and Benefits (Blender & Juicer Methods)
Get ready to sip on some delicious and nutritious plum juice! This easy recipe offers two methods—blender and juicer—and is loaded with health benefits.
Prep the Plums and Ginger: Wash your ripe plums and set them aside. For the ginger, use a potato peeler to gently remove the skin.
Lemon Choices: You've got options here! Either peel the lemon and remove the seeds to blend it with the rest, or simply squeeze its juice into the mix later using a lemon press.
Blend It Up: Add the plums, peeled ginger, and your lemon choice into your high-speed blender. Pour in the iced water and hit blend, letting it whirl for about 40 seconds.
To Strain or Not to Strain: We're team no-strain here. The juice is often enjoyed for its fiber content, especially its natural laxative properties. Plus, straining just leaves you with another dish to wash. But if you're a smooth operator, go ahead and use a fine-mesh strainer.
Sweeten to Taste: If your plums are a bit tart, a tablespoon of agave nectar or maple syrup will balance things out. Agave is our go-to for its neutral impact on flavor.
Juicer Method
Prep the Plums: Simply wash your ripe plums and you're good to go. The juicer will handle the seeds, no worries.
Lemon Choices: You've got options! Either peel and de-seed the lemon to run it through the juicer, or just squeeze its juice into the final product using a lemon press.
Juice It Up: Add the plums and ginger (no need to peel for this method) into your juicer. If you're juicing the lemon, toss it in now. Fire up the juicer and let it work its magic.
Stir and Sweeten: Once your juice is ready, give it a good stir. If you used the lemon press, now's the time to stir that in. Taste test and, if needed, sweeten with a tablespoon of agave nectar or maple syrup.
