Making your own juices

Do any of you make your own juices? If so, do you use a blender or do you have a juicer? What brand and how much did you pay for it? Is it something you use often?

With all the added sugar in juices, I figured maybe it might be a good idea to make my own and freeze it. That way when I'm making smoothies or other things that require a type of juice, I can hopefully have a healthier batch then what I buy in the grocery store.

Also, a smoothie I made called for frozen yogurt. I noticed this particular brand had little cubes of frozen yogurt in the bag. Is this something I could also make on my own and freeze? I hate when things go bad and I wonder if freezing some little yogurt cubes would help me keep them around longer?

I figured I could also make fresh batches of soup...tomato soup, zucchini soup, etc. WAY less sodium and much more fresh.

Any input is appreciated :)

    Making your own juice is fantastic, but extremely expensive in my opinion if you do it often

    A whole melon can produce one glass of juice and dont even get started on strawberries/cherries lol. Then it quickly can start to loose its vitamin content if not stored in an air tight container/vessel

    The tastes are amazing though. There are so many different recipes, I have the Philips recommended by Jason Vale

    I love beetroot/ginger and apple

    Cucumber/mint/apple

    I have a Jack La Lane Juicer and I use it all the time.I also use the pulp to add to meat balls, thicken soups and stuff like that. I use almost everything and anything I can't goes in my composter.

    Love the vegetable juices the most.
