thread of juicing

just put one apple or a some kiwis into your massive load of fresh veg (plus some ginger or mint or whatever) and it'll always taste great.

you won't taste kale or spinach at all once you use a small amount of something sweet. not sure why you'd cut with apple juice when you could juice the apple?

tho if you are using a centrifugal juicer it doesn't really matter as you are killing all the nutrients anyway.

used to juice on the reg at a friend's place, but she moved and took the juicer with her. had some pretty disastrous experiments but for the most part they were so delicious. a good rule of thumb if you want to make something palatable is not to go too crazy with things of different colours like try to keep it within one interval of the spectrum (pear apricot orange canteloupe plum beets; kale kiwi pineapple mango) and--even though it's tempting because they're so juicy--never to put too much of something bland like cucumber or melon

I have read the one problem with juicing is you're letting the juicer do all the digestive work, so you're not getting as much fibre/bulk as you would if you just ate the veg.

Also, consuming large quantities of fruit juice that involve like 5 bits of fruit in one go cant be all that good for you - so much fructose!

all the fibre gets trapped in a chamber, if you really want fibre u can eat it like a salad lol

i eat fucktons of non-juiced produce so fiber isn't really a prob.

ahahaha the post-wedding juicer

ours saw maybe...four weeks of active service before cleaning it was just too much hassle for the reward and the thing was put permanently into storage. it'll happen to you too. sorry juicer.

lol, otm. juicing is fun and delicious but yes cleaning the thing is a huge pain. also it felt somewhat wasteful to me -- i hated throwing away all that fiber. that said, i really love making soup stocks and that also involves throwing away the fiber.

in general, i prefer smoothies, although the punch of fresh juice that involves cool stuff like ginger or parsley or wheatgrass is special. i should pull out the juicer from time to time.

One day I put the remains of carrot and beet juice under a tree my mother was trying to grow and an hour later it was covered with butterflies. This was summer. Happened every time I threw out the carrots and beets.

Supposedly eating fruit is the best way to consume it but juicing green leaf veggies with a masticating juicer is the best way to get all the green nutrients .

i am getting the sickest compost out of this thing, sadly i do not compost

i just impulse bought a blendtec since i threw out my blender like a year ago and i became a costco member today. i wanna make carrot juice with ginger and parsley and shit. does anyone do juice in the blender?
