Hux Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 And no I don't mean steroids. So I did the research and finally shelled out for a sweet good quality juicer this morning, settled on an Omega 8003: Pumped I will no longer be paying Booster Juice's rent each month, anybody else into juicing? have any good reccomendations/recipes?

Jaimoe Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I'm not sure about good recipes, but this 'infomercial' has got me salivating:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_CCLk8B43s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I mostly make smoothies, because I find no matter the fruit the results are thicker than juice so I throw in a bit of yogurt to go all the way.Don't use kiwis unless you completely clean off the skin.......Peaches rule.....Any small amount of pineapple will improve the flavour of any concoction......Its all fruit, so its all good!

Im going home Donny Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 You can make Heady Muffins with the pulp....AND you then get to add the term 'Heady Muffin' to your regular vocabulary! Could it get better than that? I bet theres loads of juice books with kickass recipes. Great way to sneak spirulina into your diet too...mmmm cold juice...heads to kitchen...

Scarlet Begonia Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 I have a Hamilton Beach Juicer. Carrot and Beet Juice is my favourite veggie choice and either orange ginger or orange tangerine carrot for fruit. I find kiwi and strawberries can be prickly if you don't clean them enough.Happy Juicing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimafleck: the living legend. Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 instead of juice, i go the smoothie route and make one everyday for as part of my breakfast.all i do is take about 3 fruits and some orange juice....then add a bit of ice to cool it all down.

boogieknight Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 If you make mango juice, I recommend mixing it with some store bought organic mango juice. It comes out really thick. You can mix it with water but it taste better mixed with other juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Jane Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 where are the heady tips for cleaning these things?Our juicer only gets about a weekly run every few months...with all good intentions, I install it on the counter but after a week of struggling each day to clean the bloody thing, it stuffed back in a cupboard!thanks, though, for the reminder to dust it off again for awhile....and Hux, I definitely second the recommendation for beet + carrot.....just how pink can you make yer poo?

Hux Posted August 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 This morning I had a glass of apple, carrot, pear, beet, broccoli, cabbage - good morning!CJ - clean up all depends on what you have, mine has about 5 pieces you basically just run under the tap, takes about 2 minutes, very quick and easy.

Ms.Huxtable Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Don't forget the herbs Hux. Mint grows everywhere right now, I bet it would be fantastic with carrots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
