Have you ever used just plain mixed green in a juice? I have some that I probably need to use in the next few days, but I'm not sure how they'll do in a juicer. I think it's a mix of Romaine, Spinach, and something else. Any experience?
I always add SOME to my juice, but the yield is so little that I want to add other high producing veggies like celery and cucumber in order to really enjoy it. Every juice I make has some kale in it, and I usually have some spinach too.
DS: your juice (w/ lime) still sounds yummy!
Broodwich - wont have time for a few days to see if I noted it but Ben had quite a lot to say about the truth of cholestrol testing ( tells them squat actually). You are correct about diet - but different reasoning!
Nutshell: if I have it correct, it's the body's band aid for inflamation from free rads - caused by diet.
There's another program Fire Your MD w/ Dr. Peter Glidden. Also on GCN Radio. They both more or less look at statins as either "stupid, stupid, stupid" or a cruel hoax.

Answer to flavor of Kale: Honestly? I'm not too certain about the flavor of the juice, the yield is pretty small so it's usually just like half a shot of kale juice for an entire tall glass of green juice. Couldn't pull the flavor aside if I wanted to. Tomorrow, I'll take a sip of it before other juices are added! It's just there for the benefits to be honest.
Hi guys. My wife and I both started caring more about our health once we got into vaping. Five weeks ago we started dieting too. I've lost 30 pounds so far =)
A big helper of this has been juicing in the mornings. I juice things like broccoli, cauliflower, celery, carrots, etc. I then add a fruit of my choice for a sweetener (usually a banana, it's my favorite fruit).
What are some of your favorite juices? What are some secrets you have for juicing? My big secret is CINNAMON. Ground cinnamon is good for the metabolism and speeds it up. If a juice doesn't turn out as tasty as I had hoped I can add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon, wisk it up, and enjoy. You can also add cayanne pepper.
Congrats on losing that weight and getting healthy! I have been juicing for about a year myself....it really helps, sometimes I slack and don't juice for a week or two, and I feel so much better once I get back on track. More energy, clear skin, etc..
I would love to juice more myself, but it's not in my budget. I think I'm going to start having a juice fast day once a week; I've been hearing a lot of health experts say it's really good to give your body and digestive system a break.
If you like carrot juice....in many areas you can ask at the supermarket for horse carrots. Those are the less-than-perfect carrots that don't get put out on display. They have cracks or funny shapes but are perfectly good. I usually buy a 25 lb bag for about $8.
Good thread! I've used a Vita Mix for many years to make smoothies. Ten years ago I lost 80 lbs by practically living off the raw veggies I packed into that machine. Last year I got a Jack LaLanne juicer and I use it several times a week. I make a lot of carrot juice, and usually have at least 25lbs of carrots in the fridge. I add ginger, apples, cilantro, beets and other fruits and veggies as I feel like. The Jack LaLanne sieves out all the pulp, which makes great compost (and, I would think, great carrot cake if it's just carrot or carrot/ginger). The VitaMix is like an industrial-strength blender (think Ford Escort vs Hummer). It simply pulverizes everything, and you have to add liquid to make a good smoothie. I use them both, and I'm a huge fan of juicing!
