    Hey, there!! I'm looking for a Juicing Group, also. I have used MyFitness Pal for a while, but never joined a support group. Would love to connect with others who are wanting to "take the plunge," and Juice + I really need the accountability.

    I juice also. I wish I could afford a vitamix blender, they are awesome. I use a juice extractor for no pulp juices and a hand held stick/immersion blender for purees.

    We should definitely start a group. I'll look into that. May I friend you @Its_Rachael_‌ , @elizabethfeaman‌ and @Lezavargas‌?

    I've only been able to find this group: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/328-juice-fasting-fat-sick-and-nearly-dead

    But I would prefer to have a group that talked about juicing as a regular part of your daily or weekly diet as opposed to just fasting. Or a group that supports both.

    So I have created this group: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/103440-joyful-juicers

    And because of a a lot the negativity thrown at juicing and people on this forum who juice I've made it a private group :wink:

    That sounds great, JacquiH73!! Thanks for doing the "legwork!" I am juicing, primarily for my meals, but no "hating" on my end. We are obviously all looking for support, accountability, ideas, etc. otherwise we wouldn't be here! So, I'm in.... haven't done a community group before, so I will try and friend you and go to the link you set up :)

    @gostumpy - I'm still trying to work out the bugs in this MFP message board platform. It doesn't notify me or acknowledge that someone requested to join. I'm sending you an invite.

    Anyone else that wants to join let me know here or send me a private message and I will send you an invite.

    Hey, all....just wanted to share one of my fave Morning Juices with you....it's great anytime of the day, but especially refreshing in the morning:

    STRAWBERRY DELIGHT
    2 cups Kale or Spinach
    1 cup Frozen Unsweetened Strawberries
    Juice of 1/2 Lime
    3-4 cups water
    Add ice for thickness if desired
    70 Calories

    I have a BlendTec Blender, so I just "super blend"....that way, I also get the nutritious fiber with my Juices/Smoothies.

    I have quite a few really good recipes, and would love to hear yours :D

    One of my favorite Morning pick-me-ups that I make in my centrifuge extractor is

    Morning Ginger Sunrise
    1 thumb ginger
    1 lemon wedge (about 1/4 of full lemon)
    2 carrots cleaned and peeled
    1 medium orange peeled and sectioned.

    I always juice the ginger first so the rest of the juices can bring the little bit of ginger juice down into my glass.

    This one is a family's favorites.
