01 -

It tastes genuinely like fruit, not like something pretending to be fruit, and it comes together faster than the time it takes to check your phone.
You can use whatever fruit is sitting in your kitchen, which means it's never the same twice and somehow always exactly what you wanted to drink.
There's something satisfying about knowing exactly what's in your glass, no mystery ingredients or added colors.

02 -

If your juice tastes a little flat or boring, lemon juice is your friend—even half a tablespoon more can completely transform it into something you actually want to drink twice.
The sweetener question matters more than you'd expect; I learned the hard way that honey changes the flavor in ways sugar doesn't, and sometimes that's exactly what you want and sometimes it isn't.
Straining is optional but changes everything if you like a silky juice versus one with texture, so know which you prefer before you start blending.

Cold fruit blends more easily and tastes more refreshing, so if you have time, refrigerate everything before you start.
A fine mesh sieve makes the difference between juice that feels rough and juice that feels like something you paid money for at a café.
