Juicing Forum

I want to hear what everyone is going to make for their first juice tomorrow morning! I plan on making a Banana Boost first thing!

1 small Chiquita Banana
1 Granny Smith Apple
5 Mango Chunks
1 handful of Pomegranate Seeds
2 Full sized Carrots
2 Handfuls of Spinach
2 Celery Stalks
1 Cucumber

I wouldn't suggest juicing them through a masticating juicer, but with a centrifugal juicer they juice okay. You don't get a lot out of them, but the little you do get adds just enough that you can taste it and enjoy it. It adds a creamy taste to the juice.

That red juice just looks amazing John! I think I'll have to try that out tonight. I'm heading to the store in a bit to see if they have that particular brand of hot sauce.

Laura that is perfect! The recipes are a great guideline but I'm hoping more people do what you do and come up with some of their own ideas for recipes based on what they like and what sounds good to them. Thanks Laura

Hi guys I'm onboard also but I'm going for 21 days so hopefully I can get some company.. My gf is doing it also and our goal is to be healthier and after the fast to continue eating healthy, really glad I checked out this forum and saw this, I've been planning to start tomorrow for a little over a week. This site has provided a wealth of information and I would like to thank the admin and contributers. I got my Hamilton bigmouth locked and loaded for the morning, fruits and veggies washed and bagged. Will have some in the morning and take some to work. Good luck all.

I tried Morning Glory today. I was just so surprised that it tasted so good being that color. I guess I will have to get over the green! So far so good...

Good Morning All,

Well, here it is, Day 1. I had my sunrise juice at home, and am now at work, ready to pour my first glass of red hot.

Also, I'd like to welcome Rich, glad you are joining us! I wish you and your girl friend all the best on your 21-day fast.

Last night I lost my internet connection at home. I am not sure what the problem is yet, but for now I will only be able to post from work.

As we get started on our fast, I wish everyone the best, and may we all meet our goals in this fast.

Morning all. Thanks for the tip Donnie we took pics this morning. Will do so daily. We started with lemon and warm water and then the morning glory.. Went down well. She was sipping it like coffee I just chugged mine.

Thanks John same to you as well. I'm starting off at 183 lbs with a goal of 160 and she is 143 with a goal of 130 lbs. our main priority though is to eat healthier.

Laura sorry to hear about the break in and its awesome that you are still sticking with the fast.

Welcome Jeanne. One of my dreams is to run a marathon. Is this your first?

Good Morning Juicers!!! As we start day 1 I want to congratulate each and every one of you for taking the initial step and Juicing.

@Allison, isn't it good? I'm glad you enjoy it, soon you'll start to crave the juice!

@Laura, I'm so sorry to hear about your break in!!! I hope you're okay. It takes a lot of will power to go through that and stick with the fast! You rock!!! I'll have to let you borrow my dog. He's a gigantic Saint Bernard who doesn't like thieves! I hope your day only gets better from here on out.

@JuicerJohn, I tried out your hot juice late last night. What a punch that juice packs!!! I was impressed, although I think I used just a little too much garlic. Hope you internet gets fixed.

@Stefanie, Awesome! How did you like the Jolt Juice? It packs a jolt doesn't it?

@Rich - That's funny, I usually chug mine unless I'm experimenting. But some juices are easier to chug than others.

I'm thrilled to be juicing with you guys. Keep posting updates and let us know how your days go. I enjoyed a Banana Boost this morning and will be posting some pic's coming up around lunch time. Thanks all, and have a fantastic day today!

Jeanne, welcome! It's great to have you here juicing with us! I have always wanted to run a marathon. If your juices aren't giving you that taste you desire the best thing you can do is to start out small and juice things that you really love. A good way to figure out an optimal juice for you is to individually juice ingredients into their own glasses. Then you can mix small amounts of stuff until you come up with something that you really enjoy. I've done this a few times and it's really fun.

Don't forget to tweet about our Group Juice Fast and your experiences! hashtag #justonjuice

Congrats Stefanie, that is a huge feat. They used to order us awesome lunches at the place I last worked. All catered by a well known restaurant. The first day was the hardest and I knew if I could stick to juicing through that, I could stick to it till the end. Keep at it Stefanie, you're doing awesome!
