Help getting started with juicing

by Jennifer
(Spokane, WA)

I am just starting out juicing, I have already purchased a juicer and am ready to go. I need to start this for health reasons and have heard great things about juicing.

My main concern is the taste, I have a very sensitive stomach and it does not do well when what I am eating or drinking something that tastes foul or down right "just not good". I have tried the original V8 before, did not like it, as I don't like the taste of the tomatoes, I want the benefits of fruits and vegetables but don't want the drink tasting like vegetables.

I have also tried the V8 fusions and like the fact that I am getting fruits and vegetables but it has a sweet or fruity taste. I know I could get more benefits if I made the juice myself. My only limitation is coconuts, as I am allergic.

Any help you could possibly give me on this will be greatly appreciated. I look forward to your response and thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Jennifer Lipton

Starting Juicing - Juices that taste good
by: Amanda

Congrats on getting your first juicer. I suggest that you add apples to your vegetable juices to make them taste good. You can also try adding ginger and/or lemon juice to spice them up and make them taste better.

Carrot and apple juice is a nice sweet one to start off with. If you like you can add a stalk or two of celery for more minerals and natural sodium. It's also great with ginger and lemon when the weather turns cold.

The only problem I have with carrot and apple juice is that if you add the juice of green leafy veg such as romaine lettuce, chard or perhaps kale (not one to start with as it has a strong taste) the resulting juice turns brown. Not a problem nutritionally and it can taste lovely but the colour just puts me off. So when I'm making green juice I like to leave the carrots out, use apples to sweeten up the juice, ginger to cut through the greens, and lemon to add some zing.

Hope this helps,
Happy juicing,
Amanda
