Buy a juicer

I had my housekeeper start making my bedside bloody mary with fresh-made from a Lalanne I won on pennyshop a few months ago between that and switching to Ketel for the vodka my life has turned around 100 degrees.
 


If you juice a lot make sure to get the proper enzymes to coat your stomach. Chewing food helps to create those. A process which is skipped when you juice.

Got a Black and Decker Juice Extractor, nothing fancy but it works great. Use the carrot leftovers for carrot cakes or muffins when the munchies come on.

What's everyone's juicing routine here? I know some people only do it like once a day, or 5 days out of the week then all solid food the weekend, etc. Do you use it as a meal replacement or how frequently do you juice?

I'm going with one badass cocktail of everything I can find after my daily morning swim, and a onion+garlic+cucumber/mint before sleeping.

Not really using it as a meal replacement. Though I won't be popping any mega-dose multivitamins anymore.

I go drinking and do drugs only on Mondays, so the cocktail is out then. Any suggestions for a stomach friendly hangover recovery juice recipe?

Probably the best thing I ever purchased for my health. (Philips HR 1861)

The difference in energy and focus is incredible. It's better than jack3d!

So far I've juiced 10 carrots, 4 apples, oranges, a pear, a kiwi, spinach, some tomatoes, some berries, onions and garlic, and a potato.

Onions will make you hornier:
Onion juice triples testosterone levels

feelsgood

some of these are questionable. potatoes are kinda bad for you, raw potatoes can kill a human, though im not sure if potato juice has the same risk.

spinanch is a waste of time, you can juice a whole bag of spinach in the philips juicer and get like one teaspoon of juice, it's not efficient at all.

Spinanch is perfect for the vitamix but no good for the juicer.


I personally just got for the basic starter recpie.

1 large celery, one large cucumber, 3 pears, 4-6 carrots.

Vitamix is a great blender BUT the Blendtec makes that vitamix look like a toy.

Fast foreword to 3:56 for the goods.

Yeah man juicing is the way to go. I'm about to buy a Breville juicer. Have you seen Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead? It's on Netflix instant but it's on Vimeo too here: FAT, SICK and NEARLY DEAD - GRAS, BOLNAV SI APROAPE MORT (2010) on Vimeo Extremely good movie.

Awesome documentary. Watched it when I was bored and couldn't sleep, and it led me to late night ordering of a new juicer and then hitting the store for fruits and veggies.

Apple and Kale juice is my favorite, but since you need 60% Veggies, I try to add stuff like cucumbers (has a less sweet taste of watermelon juice), parsley, spinach, etc.

I definitely feel much better after drinking juice.

Watched the movie, bought the juicer, currently juicing.

I'm struggling with the hassle of cleanup 3 times a day though. Do you freeze your juice?

No, don't freeze it. I feel your pain, though. Just buy a larger pitcher and juice more at once. I have 2 plastic pitchers, one of just Apples and Kale and then another with the more "not so great" juice that has Tomatoes, Celery, etc.

It's best to drink the juice within 24 hours, but better to drink it as quickly as possible. It becomes oxidized and loses it's antioxidants and overall nutritional value rather quickly, so drinking it 2-3 days later is like drinking mostly water, unfortunately. And since the whole point is about getting as many nutrients as possible, it really doesn't work out so well.

Also, do you use a plastic bag in the juicer's container? Can't think of the name lol I found that it helps save a few minutes of cleaning up, and makes it a lot less messy in the trash.
 
very interesting thread.

Can anyone recommend a good concise resource for learning about the nutritional principles of juicing + recipes?

I might try the plastic bag method. Once you're done just pull the bag out and trash it. All you have to clean up then is the wire mesh.

Very nice.

As for juicing more than one serving at once, I've tried that. But drinking something that's been juiced a several hours ago, you taste a difference for sure. It starts tasting rotten after a day or two in the refrigerator.
 
went out and bought myself a juicer after reading this thread.. got some apples, oranges, celery, kiwi, strawberries.. maybe a few others i forget..

but my juice tasted like all fuck hell.. any good recipes you guys can recommend? i still chugged it like a boss, but i was expecting it to be at least moderately pleasant.. i love juice
