My wife just bought another kitchen gadget......one I'm actually looking forward to using! A juicer!
I love carrot juice and any fruit juice out there.
Looking for tasty/revitalizing juice recipes. Anyone else?
Breville Elite over here, destroys carrots. [evil]
I can't wait for tangerines to come back in season.
Berries can be disappointing how much juice they yield, apples, carrots, and pineapple deliver lots though. Most of the soft fruits and citrus I end up re juicing the pulp and that works pretty well.

Raspberry, mango, kiwi, and apple. [drink]
You rang? ;)
I'm surprised how much I use the juicer (a Mac daddy Breville).
My mainstay - because my eating habits are typically the suck is this:
1 bunch kale* (Sounds like a lot but the yield is very little)
2 stalks Celery (hate the stuff but now can't live without it)
2 carrots
1/2 a cuke
1/2 apple
1/2 orange
Handful of strawberries and blueberries
1/2 each: red, yellow, orange pepper
Slice of ginger
* run this through first then re-run it (unless you find your juicer extracts really, really well).
I make mine all sludgey by dumping in ground flax seed.
bed bath & thensome has a big juice book with great concoctions (or just go to Amazon).
Aussie guy Joe has some really good juice recipes too (his documentary is intriguing!). http://www.rebootwithjoe.com/about/fat-sick-and-nearly-dead/ (http://www.rebootwithjoe.com/about/fat-sick-and-nearly-dead/)
Have fun!
The Breville elite is the one we got. Seems to be well made with plenty of power.
I emptied out our produce drawer. 1lb of Brussels sprouts, 2 cups carrots a small head of romaine lettuce, 1/2 a banana and a slice of cantelope. It was nasty but felt good to drink.
I contemplated running the pulp through again and was going to ask about that here......thanks for reading my mind!
Looking forward to buying 10 lbs of carrots from costco.
Skip the banana next time, they don't really 'juice'.
Just be aware of the juice level in the catch can, easy to overflow. Then it's a mess.
i noticed that after the first half......ate the second half.
What about seeds, apple-like skin and rind? Remove or throw 'em in?
Whats the best bang for the juicing buck? Carrots? Apples? Something else?

I core the apple and peppers as well as remove the spine from the kale leaves, rind off citrus fruits, skins on everything else.

I think celery gives you the most juice for the buck. But it will depend on what you want to get out of the drink.

No peeling here, no coring, no seed removal the B'ville takes good care of all that. [thumbsup]
toss the holw damn apple in there! i like apple/carrot/ginger/peach/sweet potato. I do juice for breakfast every day!
And here I thought we were on a roll with a new boobies thread..... [cheeky]
I've been thinking about some sort of juicer/smoothie generator myself. Interesting....
Uh oh.......I just drank 2+lbs of carrots......not sure what to expect. That's some good stuff!
A buddy of mine got a commercial Champion juicer and a couple of bushels of carrots. After about a week he started turning orange.

Probably reduced the amount of money he was spending at spray tan joints.
