new to juicing, need some help/recipes please :)

[raw4liz]

i really want to do a juice fast/feast. however, i've tried a bunch of juices and i really don't like them! has anyone here done a juice fast/feast with only fruit juices?

for those of you that juice, has it been an aquired taste, or have you liked it from the very begining?

i always see celery & cucumbers in juice and i can't do celery at all. cucumbers i really don't like, i find the taste overpowering and nothing i put with it works for me. i love cucumbers and celery to eat, just not to juice or in smoothies.

can anyone offer me some good, simple recipes? i'm thinking i may be combining too much and that's the problem. i really want to use greens, but so far i can't really do much but spinach. i'm fine with pretty much everything in my green smoothies, but i guess juicing is different.

today i tried cucumber, spinach, apple, pear & bit of lemon. that was probably the best one i've had so far, but i really didn't care for it.

i've tried carrot, kale, cucumber, apple & lime (didn't like it, but drank it with a straw! lol)
another i tried was cucumber, watermelon, apple, grapefruit (couldn't even drink this one, the grapefruit was way too much)

i've tried a few others but haven't liked them either.

please help, i really want to juice but need a bit of guidance. thank you!

see how you like carrot, apple and celery - I do about 3-4 apples, 4-6 carrots and two sticks celery. Add a squeeze of lemon and half a beetroot.

I think it's a good starter juice. Sweet and savoury and with not too much celery. I too am not happy with juiced cucumbers. Love them in chunks though.

I am currently on day 5 of doing only fruit juices. I do juice peeled beets and add them to one of the juices though. To check out the fruits that I use in my juices check out my blog. The link is in my signature line. Let me know if that helps!

There is a great Juice Sticky in the fasting section you should check out!

My favs while fasting:

apple/pear/ginger

tomato/ginger/celery/curry

grapefruit

I found in my first couple fasts that sticking with one thing I knew I liked got me through.

green apple/lemon/celery is my absolute favorite.

i never combine it ruins taste to me . though i do make tomatoe juice with other things in it , but not much . garlic clove and parsley mostly because it improves taste . this time of yeat juicing the apple crop is great . next come oranges . this is great time to juice crops being harvested . another is obviously tomato

thank you everyone for your suggestions! i will try a few of the mixes suggested and a few single juices, thanks. i have a bunch of apples from last weekends farmers market! :)

have juices been an aquired taste? i remember when i first started drinking green smoothies i used much less greens then i do now.

thanks.
