Check out the recipes I posted below....the flavours 'marry' well. A 3/4 inch piece of fresh ginger always livens things up!

I just juiced now. I did about three pounds of carrots, two medium sized beets, two cucumbers, two stalks of celery, two bags of red and white radishes, one green pepper and a Daikon that weighed probably almost a pound. The juice is delicious.

Try it again with another vegetable combination. I love the taste of different vegetables.

I did try to juice parsley too and my juicer will not do it either. It went all over and then the stems got stuck and I had to get out a hammer to fix the juicer.

Keep trying !

Your problem is that you used too much parsley, and not enough carrots. So you either had to add more carrots, or take away some parsley (parsley is strong stuff). When you juice parsley, don't put it right into the feeder by itself. First you put in 2 carrot pieces vertically to form a flat surface on the top, you take a few parsley sprigs and fold them a few times into a small bunch, put them over the carrots, then put 2 apple or carrot pieces on top of them, and then press it down the feeder.

Before I got recipes I'd just guess and my juice came out pretty bad. It makes a HUGE difference when the proportions are right. I posted a contact for 200 juice recipes a bit down, for $2.50, you can't beat it!

Thanks all of you! Having a recipe definitely makes a HUGE difference!! I just made a yummy tomato juice yesterday. 4 medium size tomatoes, 1 Celery stalk, about 1/4 of a lime. (I added Sea Salt to it as well) It also called for 1/2 of a cool cucumber but I didn't have any so I left it out and it was still very tasty. Love my juicer!

Hi, Anytime my juice tastes little too strong or bitter, I just add some lime/lemon juice. Infact, most of the times, I just juice the lemon (rind and everything), it helps me drink the juice, at the same time I can taste the rest of the flavours.
Enjoy!

NSPETH:

I try not to juice fruits and vegetables, personally. Instead, I add onion, garlic or worcestershire sauce to my juices for a little more flavor. I also do Emerill's hot sauce (tobasco, vinegar and garlic). The juices can be bland.

What kind of juicer do you have? Was there a lot of pulp? It may help if you drink your juice through a straw.

Remember to use vegetables that you LIKE. (grin)

One of my favorites is: celery, carrot, cucumber, tomato juice (w/garlic or cilantro). I use a whole cucumber, a whole tomato, 3 or 4 carrots, 2 - 3 Celery stalks (with the tops) and a handfull of cilantro rolled into a ball. you also don't have to peel the garlic when you juice it!

Good luck!
