Does anyone do juicing? Just bought a juicer!! Super excited!

I've heard a lot about juicing but don't think I would do it. At least not for meals. IF I have a juicer I definately would use it to replace drinking a cup of store bought juice. I've heard many people drinking juice for a meal but personally there would be too much protein and fiber lacking to replace a meal.

I have a juicer and I love it for getting in extra veggies (and some fruits). I keep it on the counter so I use it nearly every day. My favorite book for juicing is Super Juice: Juicing for Health and Healing.

DH and I have an Omega juicer and we'll buy a crate of oranges from Costco and juice a bunch of them for our weekend brunches together. It's been over a year since we bought OJ from the grocery store. Nothing compares to fresh squeezed juice, full of living enzymes and nutrients!

I also am a huge fan of beet, carrot, celery, garlic and parsley juice. It's got an earthy flavor that I adore. Still, if I had to pick between my Omega and my Vitamix, I'd take the blender (for the fiber).

" full of living enzymes"

Just for your information enzymes are not and can never be alive. They are substances (usually proteins) that the body uses as catalysts in biological reactions
