Do any of you juice?
« 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.

SO's dad gave us (him) a juicer for Xmas one year.  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 tried. I got that Breville juicer and used it less than a handful of times and ended up giving it away.

I do green smoothies every morning though.

I don't, and I do not like the idea of throwing the fiber away.

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

I bought one and Juiced for a few weeks until I realized I'm better off actually eating food. Now it's in storage unused.

We tried. The juices are REALLY good, but I needed 3000 carrots to make 1 cup of juice!

LOL I haven't used it since I posted this. Great idea in theory but I just haven't had time.

If somebody made me a nice juice I'd totally drink it and be psyched, but I don't have the time or the inclination to DIY.
