Title: Do any of you juice?
Post by: Rochey on April 12, 2017, 10:41:50 AM: I scored a free Breville juicer from a friend who had never even taken it out of the box. I made a carrot, peach, lemon and basil juice as well as a kale, apple, orange, and ginger juice last weekend.

I can't see myself using it everyday, but I like the idea of wanting something sweet and at least getting some nutritional benefits from it.

We don't juice unless we feel under the weather, and then we make shots by juicing lemon and ginger, add a dash of maple syrup, a few drops of oregano oil, and a sprinkle of cayenne. It probably doesn't do much, but it makes us think we are somehow taking a healing action.

We've also used it to juice citrus to make marinades - orange, lemon, lime, depending on marinade/what is being marinated.

I do green smoothies every morning though.

Me too! The stuff I've been reading lately suggests that the fiber is at least if not more important than the nutrients.
