I've made mega-messes straining juice but it can work really well. I recommend using a big, big bowl and then transferring the juice to whatever you want to store it in.

I'm coming to the end of...

I eat them straight up and use them on salads. One of my favorite ways to use them is in their own salad--mix up a bunch of sprouted lentils with chopped raw walnuts (or celery), garlic, cilantro...

Gardenlover, visit the fasting threads. Most people are doing juice fasts and you can learn a lot about juicing there.

I found that powerful greens like kale take some getting used to. I mix them...

Lots of good things to sprout--lentils are my favorite.

I've never tried rice but I've had good luck with quinoa (red, black, yellow), wheat, rye, and oats. The oats are a special kind I get from...

Greetings, fasting folk! Nice to see some new posters here!

I'm going to start a longish juice fast tomorrow. Perhaps 30 days? 21? Who knows, I'll see how it goes.

I've got tons of lettuce,...

Sprouted lentils are the best--they come in all sorts of colors and shapes, taste great, and sprout quickly.

I build salads around them--I mean they're the main ingredient, everything else...

Lentils make great sprouts. I just made a salad--sprouted lentils, chopped celery, chopped walnuts, parsley, chopped red pepper, olives, dried cranberries, raw olive oil. Yummy and filling.

I didn't realize anything had to be replaced with the Champion. Is the cutter the thing with the little spikes?

Hello fellow fasters!

We have sun today, at least for a short while.

I'm having a hard time packing for my retreat, because I need warm clothes, hot weather clothes (just in case!) and rain...

I can't remember when I last saw sunshine, Hanneke! And it's supposed to continue to rain--all through my retreat, I fear.

I made up some green juice--spinach, cilantro, and apple--thinking that...

This is day four and I'm still feeling hungry. Grrrrrrrr. I want that lovely morning energy that Hanneke has!

Maybe it's the gray days. I need to create my own sunshine.:excited:

Hanneke, let me know what you think of it. I was looking at it--couldn't decide if it was worth the splurge. I'm pretty happy with my Champion--except that greens are a bit of a pain.

Aleesha,...

Oh yum, I wish I could find cheaper pineapples!

What kind of juicer did you get Hanneke?

Today was day 2 for me. I'm really hungry tonight--but I'll get over it. I hope.

Cool. Fortunately, I won't have to worry about energy levels. I'm going to sit on a rock and stare at the ocean. Weather permitting.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, Aleesha!

So I'm wondering about people's experiences with water fasting. Say I switch to a water fast after five days of juice fasting--any thoughts on...

Hi everyone!

Today is day one of my juice fast. Just made up a bunch of carrot-beet-red pepper juice.

My plan is to juice fast through Saturday, and then to water fast while I'm on an...

Lots of info available at sproutpeople.org.

I sprout all kinds of things--wheat, rye, barley, lentils of all shapes and colors, oats, nuts, cabbage, radishes, sunflower seeds, and the usual salad...

I like raw broccoli and cauliflower best either blended in soups or cut into very small pieces with some sort of dressing. Big chunks, lot so much.

I'm going to try a broccoli-leek soup...

Do you dehydrate them so that they get crispy or crunchy? I don't have dehydrator yet. Am pondering.

My oat/buckwheat mixture was soft but still chewy. More like a hot cereal than a cold one.
...

I found sprouted garbanzos a bit hard to digest so I'm going to leave them out of my diet for now.

I do love sprouted lentils--just ate a bowl of them with some sunflower seed sprouts and a bit of...

A different wheat grass question--if I just toss some in the blender with a green smoothie, would I get the same nutritional benefits?

It seems like a real pain to juice.

I may be missing some raw foodist debate thing here, being new and all, but couldn't you add some calorie dense veggies?

I love eating raw beets, sweet potatoes, carrots, parsnips, etc. You can...

I was missing my breakfast cereal--so I tried sprouting the oats-buckwheat groats mix from sprout people.

It's really yummy!

I sprouted the oats/buckwheat for a couple of days, and tossed the...

Okay, I am loving my quinoa sprouts. Wonderful in salads!

But, profoundly immature person that I am, I have to point out that they look EXACTLY like sperm.

Yes, I have seen sperm. Under the...

All of the above AND you control what goes into your juice when you have your own juicer.

A lot of the commercial juices that I've seen are mainly made up of the cheaper less nutritious stuff. ...
