    I love juicing. I think my favorite of all includes carrots, celery, spinach (buy large leaves because they are sometimes difficult to get juiced unless you can roll them up kind of like into a cigar shape), and an apple. I have also added asparagus (don't over do it though) and Broccoli (didn't really like that too much). I have juiced fruit, but for some reason really do prefer the vegetables instead.

    thank you, would you use this as a meal replacement, or just as a snack & would you only have 1 glass, im unsure of how much i should really be drinking, like you i prefer the vegetables to the fruits.
    thank you for the idea

    Sorry to be posting this so many days later, but I just didn't think to check back. I only use juice as a meal replacement for breakfast and sometimes lunch. It is really full of a lot of really good nutrients, but also calories - especially if you use apples and carrots (they are naturally high in sugar). I'm not even sure how to calculate the calories for fresh juice - maybe check out some of the recipes you can find on line and try to match them to what you are doing.

    Sorry I couldn't be more help.
