Substitutions
on: June 23, 2013, 00:46

😀 Hello All,
I am new to juicing and to this forum. I am getting ready to gather everything together for a 3 day fast, but wanted to know it I could substitute grapefruit for oranges or other citrus. I have a huge tree in my yard and would love to take advantage of using the grapefruit.
Thanks

Kneelie, congrats on starting your juice fast and welcome to JOJ! You most certainly can use grapefruit in your juices. Try adding it to a few recipes or even substituting it in place of other citrus. I hope you enjoy it and please keep me posted on your fast! I'll be here if you have any questions.

Thanks will keep you updated. I've been juicing for about a week, but usually eat a sensible dinner with my family.

Kneelie, you can also make some butternut squash juices or good tomato based juices, heat them up and put them in a bowl. You can use a spoon and eat it like a soup for dinner. I did that a few times and it was really good.

Thank you all for your support. I'm now on day 3 of a 3 day fast. I'm feeling good, can tell the clothes are a little looser, but waiting til the morning to step back on the scale. Will keep you posted.
I do have a question, is watermelon a fruit or can I use it instead of cucumber?

Congrats on day 3 Kneelie! Watermelon has about 9g of sugar per cup so be very careful with it. It might be good to go half watermelon half cucumber in your morning drinks to give it a shot but it's not something I would do in every drink unless you are using the watermelon to replace other fruits. Let me know how it turns out!
