    Add 1 Tbsp chia seeds to 1 cup of pulp...mix together then spread 1/4 inch thick on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until crisp. makes yummy crackers!!

    Lots of juicing recipe books. Check them out at your local library

    juicing is great! cucumbers mask anything you might not like the taste of.

    Cucumbers are one of the things I can't stand juiced! lol Celery is up there too. Luckily I like them both just fine whole. :o)

    my go-to juice recipe..I have a Breville

    1 Orange, 2 Carrot, 2 celery handfull of spinach, 2 kale leaves and a big piece of ginger. ( I like it spicy)
    I also will throw in cucumber or beet or chard whatever I have on hand.
    beets are a natural laxative, so use a half..

    I'm loving it so far, but I have been going way over my sugar. I have been adding one piece of fruit in. Not sure if I should be concerned.

    I tend to go over MFP's sugar limits pretty regularly, but since it's almost all from fruit, I don't worry too much about it... I just try to watch "added sugar" more closely.

    If you're specifically on a low-carb diet, or trying to manage carbs more closely, then the 1.5 cps of fruit that I use can be a bit much.

    You might be able to dial it back to 1/2 a banana and 1/2 of some other fruit, but it'll still be a solid chunk o' carbs.

    Aren't carbs from fruit the good carbs? Different than carbs from bread or something like that? (honest question!) :o)

    I think this is one of those :drinker: questions. :-)

    There's a lot of back and forth about that on these forums & elsewhere. I generally try to worry about "added sugar" more than the "natural sugar" that's in fruit, but I also try to balance our carbs, fat, and protein.

    Mayo Clinic has some carb/sugar related info here:

    If you're juicing ham and your arm goes numb, wait an hour. I'm not a doctor but that's how it seems to work for me...

    Oh......that type of "juicing. " Between this and finding out that the "Top Heavy Women " topic in Exercise and Fitness was NOT a pic thread, I'm having an off day.

    Carry on.
