Bit late with this thread.....
Perhaps I am getting too excited but I made up some juice and it was green and it was really good.
In my Vita-Mix
1 Cucumber
green/white seedless grapes, (equal portion of cucumber)
Spinach (4 large leaves) or about equal to cucumber bunched up.
Variable speed slowly to high till smooth.
Does this qualify? should not mix grapes with the veggies?[SIZE="1"]

On again off again through the years.

I am not sure one way or the other about that one Autumn. I have not done it as a precaution but I have read of others who have with good success. If you had no negative side effects in your body from it, I would assume its fine for you. I know the cucumber will go with both fruit and veggies, it was the spinach I am not sure about.
Peace.

I can tell you from my experience that those two together - has lower my blood presure and stablized my blood sugar - just those two alone, drinking them on and off all day. They act as a diruretic - that's the reason for the lowered bllod pressure; also great for hair growth, and flusing out acid in the system
Autum - the spinach will blend well those other item , as does grapes and cukes - it is soothing to the stomach, the spinach added to a juice is excellent for women - iron, folate, beta-caratene esp great for women, particulary vegeans as it is a useful tool for protection agains osteroporosis. -from "Miracle Juices - in this book all of the drinks mixed with spinach, are mixed with fruit for the juice. Yours appears to be good for iron and hypoglecima

Well, y'all convinced me to go dust off my juicer and give this a try. I only had about a third of a huge hothouse cuke left, but added the apple and pear. Wow, took a couple sips to get used to, but it is actually quite refreshing.
I've not yet considered a juice fast, but if I make a few more concoctions, I might get the urge to try it.
Oh, slightly humorous... yesterday our pastor was talking a bit about fasting. He said you could do a water fast, or a bread and water fast (like 2 slices of bread per meal) or a juice fast. Immediately when he said juice fast, I thought, "You'd better add some cucumber into that!" I'm sure he wasn't talking about juicing your own stuff, but funny that my mind is more raw than SAD now :)
