Cocktail Anyone? Let’s Juice!

Ok, so, maybe you’re new at this whole juicing thing and maybe, just maybe you’re a bit skeptical as to how your pallette will accept these new flavors in juice form.  Before I share some of my favorite concoctions, I want to emphasize that juicing is an efficient way for your to receive phytonutrients from vegetables that you might not otherwise get for whatever reason – I’m guessing it’s maily due to the fact that you don’t particularly enjoy vegetables.  Well, I am not saying that you will particularly enjoy the flavor of vegetable juice but, I am willing to bet that juice is much, much easier to take down than a heaping serving of those good ole greens that mamma always wanted you to eat.  So, without further ado, I present to you Juicing for Newbies.

The Breville 800 JEXL

• 3 Carrots
• 1 Apple

Adventurous Newbie Cocktail

Fearless Newbie Cocktail

The Better Brain Blog Cocktail (the garlic makes this one pretty challenging)

I hope these recipes help you acclimate and gravitate towards a juicing lifestyle.  As far as the juicers themselves go, me and my friends have done a bit of research and the Breville 800JEXL came out the winner.  Definitely, the best bang for the buck!
