Holly in FL Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 My hubby and I are tired of juicing carrots and apples in our Champion Juicer. Would anyone like to share favorite juicing recipes they have? Thanks! ~Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peela Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Several times a week I make Green Juice- it is incredibly healthy and the taste grows on you. 50% of the juice is green things, but mostly celery. I might use celery, cucumber and parsley, but also stuff like kale and chinese greens if I have them in the fridge or garden. The other 50% is sweeteners lik carrots, beetroots and especially apples at first (as time goes on I can handle less apple). Also I add a whole or half of a lemon or lime- skin and all. It sounds strange but it actually sweetens the juice. This is a great way get your greens, and to detox- very good for the liver. My other favourite juice is watermelon juice, but I tend to make that in the blender. Also rockmelon juice (cantaloupe). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeswa Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I would second the watermelon and cantaloupe juice. I also really like carrot beet juice and apple celery juice. Jes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly in FL Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 Thanks to you both! We tried beets one time and the juice was SO bitter! Are we just not used to the taste...or, did we "do something wrong?" Thanks! ~Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Inna* Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 My kids love this combination : carrot, apple, 2 oranges and a slice of pineapple. Sometimes we add a pear or cantaloupe or strawberries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! ~Holly Beets are not generally bitter- you used the root, not the greens on top? Beets tend to be sweet like carrots when juiced..maybe try again?

Thanks! ~Holly I juice beet(roots) and beet tops. I think what you are describing is an "astringent" quality. This is fairly typical but can be tempered with a blend of carrot and other juices.
