Soapy Juice Taste??

[AtlBigDog]

Hello,
A few months ago I did my first juice fast for 14 days. I'm drinking a juice made with kale, cucumber, celery, fuji apple and lemon. Everything is organic and everything is washed before juicing. My dilemma is recently my juice has developed a bad soapy taste. I don't think it's because I'm not rinsing properly because the glasses I use for my juice I use for other things and I can't imagine my juicer being the only thing that I don't rinse properly. Has anyone else every heard of this? I want to incorporate juice into my daily routine but this is making it impossible.

Thanks,
Pat

Personally I don't like cucumber in my green juice. Sometimes if it sits too long it will start to turn. It tends to last longer without the cucumber for me.

Change up your juice and see if it tastes the same.... eliminate one at a time beginning with the cuke. Or, make other combinations. Change your greens for sure. Different apples; pineapple instead of lemon....

I agree with Revvell. Kale can be really strong. Try swiss chard or spinach they make great juices also. Parsley is a great detoxifier too. On the fasting thread there are My favorite juices thread. People post there favorite recipe. change it up a little and enjoy.

if a food is starting to taste bad to you it could be your body's way of telling you not to eat it, who knows, maybe you are developing an allergy to one of those vegetables, or maybe it just isn't what your body is asking for at the moment...i would try a new combo and see how it tastes, and if you isolate where it is coming from avoid it for the time being. or perhaps its something else...i hope so, as i wouldn't want to give any of them up! good luck

I sometimes have lemons that taste of sulfur. Maybe that is what you are picking up. Check which of the foods you are including have the highest level of saponins. They may be the source of the soapy taste. Saponin=soaps.
