I just know what I do NOT like...cabbage, daikon, broccoli, cilantro.. esp. the daikon - it is cheap but ewwwwww. Other than that, I'm not much of a gourmet, I'll drink anything that comes out of the juicer.

I also do not like grapefruit, but that's cause I overdosed on it in the past ;)

Hello Tory,

I like the following recipes:

- grapefruit (straight/+ barley grass)
- red grapes
- carrots, apple, ginger
- endivie, celery, ginger, apple
- orange, apple, gojiberries (one of my favorites so far)
- pineapple (straight/+ barley grass)
- apple, ginger, camu camu
- apple, barley grass
- nettles, apples
- dandelion, apples, carrots
- red beet, apples, ginger
- apple, maca, cinnamon

i prefer mixed juices, right now it is really tough for me to drink green juices straight. i think that i will learn to love them during the feast. :)
and fruit juice is great when exercising ,) and that i definitely want to do!!! :) i miss runnig and gymnastique... i feel a little depressed at the moment, and i've a lack of motivation! hope, i could help and i will add new recipes soon :)

love & motivation,
little violet

Tory, you must have a recipe book full and that is just what I need. Do you have some that are less fruit as I am diabetic? I'll keep looking. Have copied all I have found so far. Thanks Much!

I had just posted some of these to my blog. Here are a few of my favorites, but there are so many more...

Happy Juice
5 -6 carrots, 2 celery stalks, 1 small apples

Gatorade Juice
1 cucumber, 2 stalks celery, 2 small apples

Pressure Juice
1 pear, 4 stalks celery, 1 parsnip (or you can substitute carrot), 1 cucumber, 1 stalk broccoli (using stem & flourets)

Pretty in Pink
1/2 of a personal watermelon, juiced rind and all

Green Juice
2 celery stalks, 1 zucchini, 1 small apple, 2 handfulls spinach leaves

The Stand-By
2 handfulls spinach leaves, 2 celery stalks, 4 to 5 carrots, 1 apple

Samuels Juice
3 carrots, 1 red apple

Dessert Juice (sooo yummy, but very sweet)
1/2 cantalope (deseeded and cut away from rind, and 3-4 handfulls of spinach (we sometimes add a carrot to this one as well)

The Alkalizer
1 cucumber, 1 carrot, 1/2 cup packed parsley, 3 stalks celery, 1/4 lime

Green Gold
1/4 of a pineapple, 3 handfulls spinach, 1 kale leaf

Red Mud
1 beetroot, 1-2 apples, 2 stalks celery, 2 handfulls spinach, 3-4 leaves of green or red leaf lettuce


I also do alot of mixing in various leafy greens - kale, endive, red and green romains, escarole, etc. with my standard fruits and vegetables. What I buy in bulk are carrots, spinach, cucumber, parsley, celery, apples and pears, then I just kind of make different combinations of what I happen to have on hand. It is fun to experiment. So far I have only had a couple of juices that just absolutely could not be toned down and were not fit to drink.

Your welcome. We made another one last night that was REALLY delicious. It was really just what we had left in the fridge, but here is what went in:

1/2 pear, 1 large apple, 1/2 head of broccoli (stem and all), 1/2 zucchini, 2 carrots 1 1/2 celery stalks, about 6 stems of parsley (this was all we had left of the bunch, John said it was probably about 1/8 of a cup) and a really big handfull of spinach.

That juice was so good. The reason everything is halved is because we made 2 quarts, actually it was a little less than that, probably about 3 1/3 cups per mason jar.

Thanks again, Lori ^^

I tried different kinds of cabbage in some my juices - and they never tasted good! :( So I'm a little critical about the broccoli for it tastes very similar to cabbage, I think ^^

Oh, I miss juicing ... think I'll do try a JF again. Or I'll do it similar as you wrote, Lori, sounds good to me, too! ;)

Hope you're fine,
Violet

This is a good one if you are looking for calories:

1 Navel Orange (the more tart the better, I got some that were very tart), 6 carrots, and half a cantaloupe.

Everything in there is orange, so it all looks good, and mixes well! It is delicious! It makes about 1.5 quarts. You could try adding a grapefruit and that would probably taste pretty good too.
