juicing and painting

we had a little juice pardy with the Breville.

I sure like this juicer.  After using an older style, I can not believe how fast this sucker is!!
you can just throw a whole apple in there! a whole head of romaine lettuce!
It just rips thru them and turns em into health filled delicious juice.

The one issue I have with this particular juicer is that it isn't completely efficient.
So what I do is take the juiced pulp out, make it into balls and juice it again!
you get a bunch of juice each time.
Especially when you are juicing soft fruit like oranges or pears...

  

Juice around here usually contains:

lots of APPLES
ROMAINE LETTUCE
one BEET
lots of CARROTS
a LEMON

and then whatever else is on hand at the time.
Celery is great.
the dark green leafy's are very good for you
Strawberries make such yummy juice!
a little knob of ginger perhaps?

cabbage is very spicy!
I have heard strong warnings against mustard greens...

still experimenting!





It makes a really nice non-toxic paint for kids and journals!






Do you juice?
Any interesting combinations?
