Curious, is anyone Juicing?

If you are looking for veggies my favorite is green lemonade

4 celery stalks
1/2 cucumber
2 cups kale
2 cups spinach
1 green apple
1/2 lemon

Juicing is great! As a matter of fact I'm going to juice this weekend! a great recipe is:

1 bag of Spinach
1 Ginger Root (size depends on your taste)
1 bunch of Beets
1 bag of Carrots
1 bag of Celery
4 bunches of Parsley
1 bag of Granny Smith Apples (cuts the bitterness of Ginger Root) Remove Seeds from apples

Keep in an air-tight container, will last for 1 week

I've always read that the juice will lose it's vitamins unless you drink it right away.

Thanks everyone. I want to try to juice more veggies. So all of these recipe's are great for me. Thanks again. I wish there was a way I didn't have to taste any of the pulp from the fruits.... I hate Pulp lol

pulp is fibre pulp is fibre pulp is fibre pulp is fibre pulp is fibre pulp is fibre
anyways have a look at this website, it has some delicious juices.

After I juice some stuff, I sometimes save the pulp and make salsa out of it

I have done juicing a few times in the past as part of a raw diet once, and part of a "I-think-I'm-eating-healthy" diet. Both times I drank lots of fruit juice combos, smoothies, and fruit with veggie juice and both times I gained weight. Most veggie juice is really good for you, but beware the fruit juice. It is loaded with sugar and "good" or "bad" sugar, your body says yum-yum and uses those calories to pack on the fat. I would definitely log everything so you know just how much sugar/calories you are getting (if you are trying to lose weight).

For you juicers.....did you get the raw mouth/burning sensation?

I only drink one green drink a day and am noticing that when I eat almonds now, my tongue feels raw, other foods too. It has gotten better over the past few days, but just wondering if this is the "detox" thing I keep reading about?

You might do a little research on the sore tongue thing. I vaguely remember in the past, it could be a symptom of some kind of deficiency.

I only have a blender, can I still make green juices??

After my juicer broke, I used my blender. If you have a good blender with a strong motor, you can use it instead of the juicer. And, you get the benefit of all the fiber and good stuff from the pulp. I made smoothies starting with a huge handful of fresh spinach, then berries, banana.. and finally some almond milk and pureed it up for about a minute. You can't taste the spinach and it makes a thick yummy smoothie.

Thanks!

I got braces which for me meant having 6 teeth extracted so chewing firm stuff like raw fruits and vegies isn't an option. So I've been juicing for about 2 months now usually in place of snacks throughout the day or as my lunch. I stick primarily to veggies since fruit is loaded with sugar although I do add at least 1 apple. Lemon juice will keep the juice from turning brown throughout the day. Check out the Jack Lalane facebook page - there are tons of yummy receipes.

Hahaha i googles Lalane and this is what i read:
LaLanne said his two simple rules of nutrition are: "if man made it, don't eat it", and "if it tastes good, spit it out."

His Quote is dead on lol.

I'm starting to realize juicing with all the fruits is alot of sugar. So hopefully the veggies are tasteful. I tried a V8 100% vegetable with low sodium drink and it was horrible.

If you don't like veggies make sure you add at least one fruit in there. Like a green apple for some sweetness in with spinach or kale. Or some lemon or lime.

There is a Fennell/Pear mix that is very refreshing.
