Notes
Storing Avocado Juice: People often ask if avocado smoothies or juice can be stored for use later. Sometimes, you may want to make a bigger batch or a double one for later. Smoothies, as a general rule of thumb, can be preserved for a day. The juice can be preserved in a mason jar, which is tightly sealed. But it is best had in 12 hours since it is prepared. You can try adding a little lemon juice to prevent it from changing color due to oxidation. If you feel that the color has changed and you are unsure, use your judgment of taste or smell and if you think something is off, it is best to discard it.
Choosing Avocados For The Juice: Always make sure you make the juice with a perfectly ripened avocado. The flesh should be yellow-green in color and also, semi-soft to touch. Avoid avocados that are raw or have brown spots. If you have a big batch of avocados, you can puree the flesh and freeze them in airtight bags. Make sure you add some lemon juice to prevent oxidation or discoloring. This puree can last for 3 to 6 months but it will not have the same taste like a freshly cut avocado.
