Juicer Ideas

MeganA · January 22, 2006

I'm fighting my third cold this winter and I've had it! I think I need more nutrients in my diet.

My brother got me a juicer for Christmas and I just took it out of the box and juiced 3 apples. How yummy!

It's hard for me to eat a lot of veggies...and I'm wondering if anyone has any good juicer recipies? I don't want a ton of sweet fruit drinks, but mostly veggie ones...

Anyone?

Thanks in advance!

Start taking Cod Liveroil gel tablets, I've been taking them for years and I couldn't tell you the last time I had a cold.

Also that low carb oj is good too, that's what I use when I make screwdrivers, helps me stay well too, hehehe.

You can take the cod liver gel tabs without any problems? I've been wanting to start taking fish oils, but I w asn't sure if they would go down in a capsule...and I hate fish, so I can't see myself taking liquid cod liver oil.

These are not fishy, preband I tried those fish pills, OMGsh they were disgusting. The cod liver oil doesn't have any taste, and you could probably get it in liquid form, just never thought about it. When ever I take meds I always drink at least 1/2 bottle of Water to wash em down, room temp water too, otherwise I get a head rush with cold water.

Megan, I'm not saying that I'm any expert but I am basically married to one, that's for sure. I bought my husband a $2000 professional juicer at a restaurant sale last year because he juices so much, he had already gone through 4 store bought ones in the previous year and a half. Although he goes to the extreme with greens and different grasses, he has been able to get me to try a couple that I truly like. For a quick rush (almost like a drug, really) I suggest celery juice. But you have to make sure that the celery is in season or whatever because there have been times that I had it and it was really bitter but when it's good...OMG. It is amazing. And of course the carrot juice is great but has a lot of sugar. One that I have found very good and refreshing is jicama juice. You can use it to mix with Tomato or other not so sweet juices to freshen it up. And apple, carrot and ginger is good, but again alot of sugar. Ginger is another one that is good to add a shot to add flavor and a little extra UMPF! Cucumber is very refreshing and good mixed with carrot or another sugary juice. Red, orange and yellow peppers are really great too, very refreshing.

If you want other ideas or would like to know some specific recipes for specific outcomes, like energy, cold, sleep or no sleep, just PM me and I can ask my hubby. He has read every book on this and has done this for years and actually has had his gym ask him to give a talk regarding. He has my entire family on the juicing kick and they swear by him!
