    No juicing here. But I do go through phases where I make a green smoothie for breakfast. I've been in one of those phases for a few months now.

    Once in a while smoothies are good plus with smoothies all the fiber is still there.

    Sweet potatoes are one of the greatest sources of beta-carotene of all vegetables, even higher than carrots. In fact, only 112 calories (a small sweet potato) contains 369% of your daily need of vitamin A. They are also plenteous in vitamin C, potassium, calcium, and carbohydrates, and are a good source of fiber. Surprisingly, they are even a rare low-fat source of vitamin E. Choosing from 58 vegetables, the Center for Science in the Public Interest ranked sweet potatoes as number one in Vitamins A and C, folate, iron, copper calcium, and fiber, far below the white potat

    Sweet potatoes get their flavor after they are baked though. Do they really taste like anything after they are juiced?

    Well you're not juicing them for the flavor but for the nutrients....that's why people usually add stuff with stronger/sweet tastes like carrot and apple.

    I go through phases where I juice a lot then I don't. It's a lot of calories to drink at one time! :D
