adventures in juicing

Adam and I recently got a juicer after watching a movie for free on Hulu, Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead.  It was a very interesting documentary, and I'd definitely recommend watching it if you have a free hour and a half.  Not sure you can believe everything you see and hear, but the idea of consuming more fruits, veggies, and whole, unprocessed, foods is the major theme and important for all to hear.

Anyways, so we got a juicer.  We had a $50 off $50 code for JCPenney for buying something that was mistakenly priced so they did not ship it to us.  So we naturally looked for something that was exactly $50 so we could get something for free...and there was a juicer!

The first juice we made was from the Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead movie...Mean Green Juice.  It consisted of Kale (we used collards), celery, cucumber, apple, and lemon.  I like most veggies, but I do not like cucumber and celery so I thought the juice was nasty.  Adam tolerated it, but Tobey sucked it right down.  We didn't let him drink a whole lot so that he wouldn't get sick.  Anyways, we decided to try other juices.

The next juice we made was carrot, apple, and sweet potato.  It was good, but it was really sweet.  Again, Tobey sucked it right down.  I probably wouldn't make this one again because of the sweetness.

Today, I made another juice, and it was really good!  I didn't use a recipe but just collected things from the fridge.  It included collards, 1 celery stick, carrots, apples, lemon, and an orange.  I'll definitely do that one again!
