Learning how to make juice

Recently I have become in love with the juice "Lively lemon" from Nature's corner in Spring Lake Heights. Whenever I go, I get a small lively lemon and I ask them to add a carrot for taste. So my drink ends up consisting of Lemon, carrott, ginger, and apple. I decided I wanted to try to start jucing on my own considering how pricey it can be to buy juice. (small from Nature's Corner is 4.99+ tax). So I went to the store and purchased:

• One large bag of carrots ($2.49)
• One large bag of celery ($2.49) .. (added this because celery juices well and will add more juice to the drink)
• five lemons (on sale 5 for $1.99)
• One bag of 7 apples (on sale for $4.99)
• One peice of ginger root ($2.99 per lb) ... (you dont need alot, its strong!!)

If you are just getting into drinking vegtable juice this is a good recipie to start with. All of the vegtables and fruits I used are high in vitamins and they also taste awesome together. Its a good step towards tackleing a big green juice. The juicer I use is a older one that my boyfriend's mother lent me so it isnt really the best as far as extracting as much juice as possible but it will do for now. One tip I have is if you add vegtables or fruits with alot of water in them it will add to the volume of juice you get. (examples- celery, watermelon ect.) .. The celery is really masked by the other strong flavors in my mixture so you dont even taste it. Moral of the story, juicing doesnt HAVE to be crazy expensive. Look for fruits and vegtables that are in season and on sale. The riper the better. Buy things in bulk from stores like Costco or Bj's when juicing to save your self from ransacking a week's worth of produce.

HAPPY JUICING!!!!
