Equipment

We used a high-speed blender and one of our Goodnature juice presses to make this recipe. However, you can also use:

• The grinder on your Goodnature juicer, or a food processor instead of a blender.
• A mesh strainer (like a cheesecloth, nut milk bag, or even a thin dish towel) instead of the juice press.
