If you have Netflix, I suggest watching the documentary "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead." It shows how juicing can be really beneficial to your health, even to the point that it can reverse sicknesses brought on by poor diet choices. By eating and drinking micro-nutrient dense foods, you will be a healthier person and who doesn't want that?! If you look around, you can get good deals on vegetables to juice. At our local Winco, 25 pounds of juicing carrots are just $6.98! The bag is huge so I split the cost with a friend. Score for both of us!
In today's juice, I used 2 celery stalks, a few swiss chard leaves and stems, 1 granny-smith apple, 1/2 cucumber (the no wax kind with the skin on), about 10 carrots carrots, 1/4 of a beet and a few leaves of kale. You can substitute many different items, but we usually do carrots as the base of the juice because they are cheap and super good for you. They are also sweet so it has a good flavor. Go easy on the beet-a little bit goes a long way. We have also thrown in there cutie oranges or a wedge of lemon and it has been good too....but also go easy on the citrus because it has a strong flavor.
Happy juicing!!
