Help please! Veggie juice recipes needed
Raw family,
I need your help desperately! I was attempting to do a juice fast and I have already screwed up! The main problem I found is that I began to grow weary of the sweet taste of fruit juices and started desiring something different. I'm sure I could have (and probably should have) just drank water when I wanted something but didn't want fruit juice, but I thought if I could find some viable veggie juice recipes then I could switch up with those as well.
Thing is, every veggie juice combination I made I didn't like. I really don't like blended salads...but I need to find some veggie combos that are actually pleasant to drink and not feel like I'm choking it down. (*gags)
I really want to do this juice fast and I want to have more than just fruit juices to choose from. I even tried green juice but...wasn't feeling that at all (I used kale, spinach, cucumber, a little carrot and parsley)
Can anyone help me? Are veggie juices an acquired taste or is there something out there that even the most finicky person drank and actually LIKED? Any tips or little tricks to making veggie juice more palatable?
Looking forward to any and all responses!
Thanks,
Cherie

Hi Cherie,
I moved your post here under juicing, hope thatÂ’s ok!
Here are some combinations below that Kirk posted in another thread.
Also my favorites if you donÂ’t want to do a bunch of veggie combos are tomato juice - just straight tomatoes and then a cucumber juice.
I know what you mean about the sweetness; you need to break it up. The tomato juice is so great.
1.carrot 10oz., spinach 6oz.
2.carrot 9oz., fennel 7oz.
3.carrot 7oz., celery 4oz., parsley 2oz.,spinach 3oz.
4.carrot 8oz., beet 3oz., celery 5oz.
5.carrot 10oz., beet 3oz., cucumber 3oz.
6.carrot 8oz., radish 4oz., lettuce 4oz.
7. pomegranate 16oz.
8. carrot 11oz., beet 3oz., coconut 2oz.
9. carrot 9oz., beet 3oz., lettuce 4oz.
10. carrot 9oz., dandelion 3oz., lettuce 4oz.
11. carrot 8oz., lettuce 5oz., spinach 3oz.

Will do! Thanks Kirk!

The ones in Kirk's post were to help with anemia. I'm sure they are just good for you in general but I wanted you to know why he listed those. I did carrots, apple and spinach today and it was quite palatable. I like carrots, celery and apple, too.
