I love juicing. I forgot the name of the first website I went to, it had great recipes. Nowadays, I just throw in whatever I feel like, usually kale, carrots, an apple, celery, ginger, zucchini and squeeze in lemon at the end.0

So do you just throw it all in a blender or food processor and blend it up or do you need a special juicer? Also how do you make sure it tastes decent or you just chuck it?0 -

I love juicing! I have a rather inexpensive juicer (can't remember the brand, bought it at Best Buy), and it works just fine for me! I juice 5 large kale leaves, half a cucumber, two handfuls of spinach (which I wrap in the kale leaves for better results), two apples, one lemon, and about a teaspoon-tablespoon size of ginger root every morning! I drink it around 7 a.m. and then I'm not hungry until around 10:30 or 11. I eat every three hours, so it's perfect for me. And it tastes delicious! It's really energizing also!0

It's a fad, kind of like those "cleanses" you see people doing. Juicing actually gets rid of some of the nutrients in the fruits & veggies if you use a juicer so it seems really silly to me. I think you might be talking about using a blender to make smoothies. This will probably keep you more full (as you keep all the fiber when you use the blender) and I've seen some really delicious looking ones with kale, spinach, etc.0 -
I blend fruits and veggies without extra sugar or juice or yogurt just to get servings of fruits and veggies in. I don't juice as a meal replacement or to be full. I keep it pretty simple, berries, kale, spinach, water.0

THIS is the website I got the recipes, thank you! I use a cheap juicer, my friend uses a high power blender and makes smoothies. Juicing can be expensive, I use the waste in spaghetti sauce so I don't throw anything away.0 -
Why would ANYONE juice, when you can make smoothies? Why skip on the fibre and nutrients left in the pulp?0

Juicing fruits/vegetables/roots is a quick way to get nutrient rich substance into your body.
****DISCLAIMER***
The best way to intake nutrients is through a well balanced diet.
However, I dont know about you, but I rarely find the time with a full time job, 3 kids, workouts & college courses to sit down & eat the daily recommended dose of my fruits & vegetables. So, I choose to create a UNPROCESSED, nutrient rich drink that allows me to consume my daily nutrients.
I don't use juicing as a replacement of a well balanced diet. I don't "juice fast". I create juice to supplement my nutritional intake to help my body through its natural process.
In regards to "juicing makes you bulky"..I'm sorry but that is broscience. Since I began juicing in Feb I am down from 238 to 206. The gifts of juicing can vary from increased stamina, better digestion, increased focus; depending on what fruits & vegetables you juice. To make my juice I prefer the Breville Juice Fountain. It works great for a wide variety of things. My average cost for 7 days of organic juice is about $18.00: Kale $3.00 Spinach $3.00 Carrots $2.00 Oranges $5.00 Strawberries $5.00.
The wasted parts could be seen as a downside. You do concede alot of fiber (pulp) in the process of making juice. But I can't remember the last time I sat down and ate a bundle of Kale, so if I got the nutrients from it ....did I really waste the $3.00????
There are some disadvantages to juicing. When you make juice you have to drink it within 36. Because your juice is unprocessed/unpasteurized, after 36 hrs it starts to ferment & can become unhealthy...be so does raw meat!!!! The best foods for us have a relatively short shelf life BECAUSE THEY ARE UNPROCESSED!! It's the chemicals/additives in the processing that create some of the greatest health risks.
If your considering juicing..my suggestion would be to find a cheap $50 juicer & try it out for 90 days. Keep a journal. At the end of 90 days see how you feel by comparison. I think you'll find out why most people who have juiced for more than 30 consistently, consider juicing an essential part of a healthy lifestyle.0 -

I did it for a jump start for my weight loss and lost 15 pounds. Losing weight isn't easy and neither is juicing. But it was a great jump start for me and it worked for me.0

Was also wondering if OP meant smoothies instead of juicing? I have a green smoothie every day and it's really filling-calorie wise it's almost 500 calories and I treat it like a meal (usually have this for supper).0 -
I love juicing. I've been juicing since November 2012. I juice for health not for diet/ weight loss. But it can be very effective for weight loss. For me it started with a documentary called 'Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead'. That's the best place for a person totally new to the concept of juicing for health, weight and diet. Plus no reading materials involved. Just enjoy the show. You'll be convinced, I was.0

I like my people juice with extra pulp0

Smoothies vs. juice...... You might want one, and not the other, depending.Why would ANYONE juice, when you can make smoothies? Why skip on the fibre and nutrients left in the pulp?
A green juice is an awesome start to the day for making me feel hydrated and energized. First thing in the morning,
I like to make a green juice as follows:
fresh bulk spinach (crispier than the bagged), maybe 1/2 bunch
celery...several large stalks
Fuji apple
I actually don't LOVE smoothies, unless it's a homemade frozen-fruit milkshake. But I could probably get into them periodically.0 -

I agree that juicing has become more popular lately, but I do think it's a great addition to a balanced diet! I started juicing for a week or two at the beginning of the year. I'd just have one juice a day in the morning. It really woke me up and helped me reduce my dependency on caffeine!! I felt energized and ready to take on the day. I haven't juiced in a while and miss it.
Blending is better for fiber intake, but juice is great because your stomach doesn't need to break down anything and in turn your body doesn't use extra energy to "digest" the food and extract the nutrients. They're all pretty much done for you in the form of juice.
Watch out for too acidic or sweet juices, though. I try to add celery, cucumber or kale to mine to even out the sweetness, acid and sugar. A full glass of juice will probably cost you ~$3.00 in fresh produce/fruit... well worth it for nutrients delivered to my body super fast!
Also: Grapefruit and Cucumber have the most fruit-juice ratio that I've found so far. Hope that helps anyone!0 -

Why would ANYONE juice, when you can make smoothies? Why skip on the fibre and nutrients left in the pulp?
I can only speak for me, but for me i have a medical condition (that is followed by a specialist and a nutritionist) where i can't consume more than 13 grams or fiber a day, and if i eat veggie fiber i have to cook them to the point of being able to mash them with a fork. No raw veggies for me, and cooking them that long how much nutrients have i lost?0
