I recently purchased a Green Star juicer through Alissa Cohen and so far I'm loving it. I make apple, orange and vegetables juices everyday. I really don't know any good combinations or secrets to juicing. For juicing fruits, I normally don't mix them. I'll either juice apple or oranges. But for vegetables, I normally mix tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots and celeries. My mother says my veggie juice tastes like medicine. In my opinion, its tastes closely mimics V8 except a lot less salty. I'm trying to get that V8 flavor, but I really don't know what I'm missing, unless they add artificial flavors.
