Homemade Juice - So Easy!

Thread Starter 

I bought a juicer earlier this year to help with triathlon training/ performance.  At first I figured it'd be a disgusting slime that I'd have to choke down.  Little did I suspect that homemade juice can be delicious!  I run a Breville juicer and stick with what I call "juice-able" fruits - oranges, apples, carrots, strawberries.  It took some time to dial in a good, healthy recipe.  Lately I've been rolling with this - 2 large carrots, 2 mandarin oranges, 1 apple, 3-5 strawberries. 

Probably the most positive result of the juicing is a feeling of satisfaction that lasts several hours.  No munchies, no hunger, just solid, steady energy!

Anybody have any wonderful recipes to share?

One thing I've noticed with Juicing is it can get pricey reallllly quickly! Since one pound of apples(or w.e. fruit you're juicing) doesn't end up making a relative amount of juice servings. How are you balancing that with your budget?

I have to keep it simple. To many fruits in my juice adds up quickly.

I don't have any specific recipes but I do make a vegetable juice every day.

 

I'm always mixing up the different vegetable I include. I regularly include carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, and spinach. If you're just starting out I would try mixing it with vanilla coconut milk at about 50/50. Before you know it you'll be lowering the amount of milk you use and be drinking pure vegetable juice.
