Recently I decided to buy an Omega juicer from Amazon. I had heard about the detoxing effects of juicing raw fruits and vegetables and wanted to try it out for myself. I have a Ninja blender but didn't want to drink the juice with the pulp. Anyway, I'm really enjoying my juicing experiment. So far, I've tried carrot-based juice with apple or pineapple for flavor, sometimes with a bit of ginger thrown in, and it is lovely. I've even gotten my dad hooked on juice! I do not drink large amounts (12 oz at most) and I drink it before or after eating a meal, due to the sugar content (yes it is natural sugar, but it's still sugar and it affects blood glucose.) I've only been at this about a week, but so far my skin is more clear/"glowing" as my husband says, and I think I have a little more energy. So that's a good start! I would be interested to hear your thoughts and experiences with juicing?

I haven't tried juicing but, I wouldn't mind trying one. I've heard great things about using a juicer but, it can be pricy.

*giggles* I thought you meant something else all together when you mentioned juicing. In either case, my answer would still be no.

I haven't, but It couldn't be to bad. Just the flavor would get to me

I did a 2 week juice fast last year.... it was the most amazing thing I have ever done for my health and body!!! I felt amazing during and after the fast.

When not fasting, usually two of my meals a day contain juiced concoctions.

I enjoy a lot of carrot, tomato, and greens based juices as partial or complete meals. I LOVE fruit blends and fruit veggie blends, but try to stay at least 70% veggie juice 30% fruit.

My kids LOVE juice too.... they are always coming up with weird combinations of juice they want to try, lol!!
