Default Re: Do You Juice your own? Any good Ideas?

My family has had a Champion juicer for 30+ years and I have my own at home. A few guidelines:

- Don't go over 50% green veggies
- Carrots have a lot of sugar and keep that in mind
- Don't go over 1/2 of a beet or use a smaller beet. They are so powerful, too much can give you hives or temporarily paralyze vocal chords (but oh so tasty!)
- Use the pulp to make muffins, especially with carrot pulp; if you have a food dehydrator, they can make great chips with touch of agave and spices.
- Easier to digest when veggies are room temperature (I prefer them cold)
- Drink juice within 3 minutes of juicing, the nutrients breakdown wickedly fast
- Don't juice fresh garlic
