It was okay. Not the worst and not the best. I think a little strong on the ginger root, lemon and lime. It has loads of nutrition in it though.

I hear you dmb about the taste... Sometimes we just down it knowing that it does a body good!

Personally, I like juicing better. I've never liked the texture of smoothies. That would make a good juice combo.

Since you have a vitamix, I have to ask, why peel the ginger, or juice the lime/lemon? I'm sure you can toss them all in there and it will have more nutrition, same taste and less work.

I don't actually juice the lime/lemon as i have a squeeze tool that i use to get the juice out. I have just always peeled the ginger for some reason.

do you use a whole cucumber? Mine had a strong bitter taste. Pretty sure it was either the lemon, lime or ginger. I may try it without the ginger next time and see what it taste like.

I put it through the juicer not blender. Im not a fan of cucumber so as little as possible.

I agree but I think it's the seeds in particular that I don't like the juice of.

I've been juicing Dr. Oz's drink, is it meant to be blended?
