I am thinking about adding frozen berries to my juices after they have been defrosted (and passed through the juicer) is that all good?

I think that you could probably do it without defrosting by passing them through twice. The sooner you use them after taking them out of the freezer the more nutrients you preserve.
I do not see any reason not to use them. Sometimes frozen (young) is better than old.

i totally disagree with sport. i've tried to juice frozen fruit... does NOT work at all. nada. no juice comes from something frozen.

so yes... you can totally do that. that's how i make my lovely cranberry/apple blend!!!

defrost cranberries... add 50/50 apples and cranberries (as long you like a nice tart drink)... mmmmmmmmm

Well I guess there goes my nobel prize for physics. I assumed that it would defrost the first time through and would juice the second time. That was the way it worked in my head but sometimes it just does not work the same way outside your head.
Maybe I just have a weird head.

i love you head... i don't think it's weird at all.

your juicer would have to be pretty HOT to defrost it the first time through... and we wouldn't want to juice with anything that would heat it that much. ;)
