I should start out by saying that my mom had a brief stint with juicing about 10 years ago, and after hearing about her rant and rave about how great it was, I tried some, and it was DISGUSTING!!!!! I decided that no nutritional value was good enough for me to subject myself to such torture. I'd rather take vitamins or die of a nutrient deficiency instead.
Fast forward 10 years, and my housemate has been juicing for a while and raving about the benefits. I refused to try it, but a few months later, relented and had a shot of this green juice that he was making. . . it was not the best thing ever, but palatable (I had already tried wheatgrass juice and it tasted like that) so the following week, I did a 3 oz serving, and then the week after, I tried a full glass.
I had about a glass of the green juice every day for a week and was really surprised that my energy level seemed to go up (apparently because of the B vitamins in the kale and collard greens) and my skin started clearing up! As a 30 year old, I was wondering when my acne would go away - I feel like I'm way too old for acne anyway!
That was last week - this week, he got "The Juicing Bible" which can be purchased on overstock for $15 (http://www.overstock.com/Books-Movies-Music-Games/The-Juicing-Bible/2874908/product.html?cid=202290&kid=9553000357392&track=pspla&kw={keyword}&adtype=pla) and we tried out a few recipes! I figured I'll chronicle our experiments here for my personal notes as well as for the benefit of anyone who is interested in trying out new juice experiments!
