Juicing

[aikido]

So I just bought a juicer a week ago and am totally engrossed in juicing all different types of fruits and vegetables. Does anybody use a juicer out there? and would they be willing to recommend any fruit/veg combinations?

*a cloud of blue smoke and the Count appears*

Grapes are fantastic juiced. You have your standard ingredients, like carrots and oranges; apples and celery. Also try lemons, ginger, watercress.

Basically the idea is to try and blend odd tasting yet healthy vegetables with sweeter fruits like apples and oranges.

Thanks Count, I have been juicing spinach, cabbage, carrots, apples, oranges, mango, pineapples, and grapes. Cannot disguise the taste of celery, awful stuff but vey healthy. Will try adding lemons, ginger and watercress to the mix.

We used to juice like mad, but there were two things that pissed me off about it: the inability to do citrus fruits easily on it and then cleaning the fucker. Carrot, orange and ginger is fucking ace. Try lemon grass in there, too.

I agree about cleaning the fucker, such a pain in the ass. I feel like a mechanic taking the machine apart after every use!

That is the downside. Employ some peasants to do that for you and to brush clean the hard vegetables.

A juicer removes the skin and pulp of the fruit/veg, a blender does not.

For juicer read toastie machine, George Forman, electric veg steamer. Great for a week, dusty for the rest of the time you have it.
