Juice cleanse

[kuntrygirl]

Had a juice this AM & a light lunch. Blood sugar still bottomed out again today. Drinking another juice now.
2 apples
1 pear
Ginger- sm piece
4 Kale
4 Turnip greens
Cucumber
6 carrots
ETA - this made 5 cups of juice. Drinking half now & other half will be my bedtime snack.

Sounds delicious. Do you taste any of the turnip greens?

Can't taste the turnip greens at all. I usually do half turnip greens & half kale. Oldest DD & DH make kale chips but for me the kale has a strong flavor. And when the bake it the whole house stinks! I have never tasted the kale or turnip greens when I juice as long as I use the ginger & carrots. Next wk I plan on doing more kale than turnip greens. Will see how it taste then.

Ok. I love kale chips. They are so delicious. I like to sprinkle a little parmesean cheese on them.

Nice recipe except for the agave nectar. Agave is basically another version of high fructose corn syrup which is part and parcel a big factor for the high obesity rate in the united states. A better choice would be a tad of stevia or better yet, grow your own and juice a couple of leaves with the rest of your fruits and vegetables. Just my two cents. Deb

I tried Stevia and it is TERRIBLE !!!!! YUCK !!!!!!! It is absolutely a deal breaker for me. Stevia is the WORST sweetener that I have ever tasted in my entire life.
I prefer the Agave Nectar or my local Raw Honey. During the last 5 months of my healthy journey, I have used Agave nectar in foods, sweetening my tea, etc and I have been lucky to have dropped 45 lbs, so it doesn't add on weight for me. But I do understand what you're saying about the high fructose corn syrup. I think everyone's body is different and will react a different way.

I bought a fresh pineapple & plan to juice it tomorrow.


Suggestions, anybody? I was thinking maybe a couple of green apples, what else would go nice with it?

Just pick your favorite veggies and go with that. That sounds like a delicious mixture with the pineapple. It seems like anything you juice with pineapple would be great.

Boy did I screw up big time! I put the pineapple in; added a green apple, some strawberries, celery, orange, etc........overfilled the thing, so had a big, big overflow on the counter, cabinets, floors, you name it---what a mess!!! ;big sticky mess!!!!!

but it tasted good.
