Is it possible to prep future juices' fruits/veggies in one sitting?

Greetings folks,

I like having my juices in the morning along with maybe a hard boiled egg or two. I just hate having to peel carrots, chop apples, break off celery, and wash kale every morning. Is it possible to cut up apples, or peel and chop up carrots, and do other things to other fruits/veggies to make them ready to just throw in the juicer at a moments notice? Will it keep the nutrients intact?

any information on this would be greatly appreciated :)

If you do this instead of making your juice in batches you'd want to use a plastic or ceramic knife to help alleviate oxidation... in addition to placing the cut up produce in an sealed system (free from as much air as possible).

Personally I prefer to make juice in batches (using a masticating juicer) and place the juice in airtight containers for the following day instead of having prepared raw foods at the ready (and risk contamination and accelerating degradation).

Here's a solution that ketomine mentioned about a month ago that you may be interested in.

I do all my juicing on Sundays. I have silicone trays that we bought to freeze baby food. But they work great to freeze 4 oz of juice cubes, nine at a time. I make it as green as possible, using as much kale as I can.

Then everyday, in the magic bullet I blend up one green juice cube, half a banana, some pineapple juice, and maybe a handful of other fresh fruit.

Side note, has the Magic Bullet lasted a long time for you? I was gifted one and it is surprisingly cool, but I did not know if it would actually be a long-lived thing

Yeah, at least a year now. And I grind coffee every morning, too. I have heard people say the break early and often but I feel like I've gotten my money's worth.

I go a gallon at a time. It holds up well. Just use a jug or something with a tight lid because you have to shake it up before you drink it.

I dont know what type of Juicer I have. I dont know if it is a masticating or the other kind. It is a Brentwood JC-250, which appears to have been made around 2004-2005.

that's the best picture I could find

Thank you all for your help, everyone. One thing I've read is putting a wet paper towel inside with the leafy greens. apparently it helps preserve it.
