Recently got my hands on a juicer for a deep discount. My mom got
it for me and I thought it was worth a try. I had done some
research on home units and nothing seemed to grab me.

2lbs of carrots and a few stalks of celery. Had it with dinner and
it went down easy.
At lunch I juiced about 8 stalks of celery with a few slices of
honeydo and, again, went down quick.
Anyone experiment with the juice? Any favorite recipes? I'm only

Juicing can play a role in a balanced diet. For instance, it can help you get fruits and vegetables if you don't enjoy eating them.
Juicing also can give the digestive system a rest from digesting fiber.
This may help some people who have certain health conditions or who
receive certain medical treatments.
In general, think about making juice with a blender instead of with a juicing machine. Blending the parts of fruits and vegetables that can be eaten produces a drink with more healthy plant chemicals and fiber.
If you try juicing, make only as much juice as you can drink at once.
Harmful bacteria can grow quickly in freshly made juice. I
