    For the last 3 years, I have been getting sick EVERY December. First I don't mean to whine about this since this is no where near as bad as folks with much more serious problems.

    As far as taste, it probably depends on what you are juicing. I use an Omega 8006 but just lent my Breville to a friend. Her first juice was carrots, apple, celery and kale. I think this recipe it...
