Still Juicing

I talked about juicing in a previous post.  One of the things I forgot to mention, was what didn't work.

I normally stick to the same recipe of:

• kale
• romaine lettuce
• ginger
• lemon or lime
• apple or pear
• carrots

I have tried adding other things.  Some worked better than others.

Things I added that turned out OK:

• blackberries
• strawberries
• spinach
• garlic (1 clove)
• cucumber
• peach
• kiwi
• grapes

Things I tried that I wouldn't be in a hurry to try again:

• jalapeño (I left out the ginger when I tried this.  It was drinkable, but it had some major kick.)
• celery

There's only one thing that I added and really didn't care for.  That was cilantro.   I like to eat cilantro, but it made some juice that wasn't drinkable.

I did try a new recipe the other day that I really enjoyed.

I used the following:

• Strawberries
• 2 pears
• 1 Lemon
• 2 Carrots

I couldn't taste the lemon.  If I make this or something similar again, I'll use two.

It was much more pleasant looking than kale juice, and it tasted good.  My wife even drank it.
