    Question Juicing without juicer

    I have a little juicer that juices easy stuff, but not carrots or anything real hard. I want to juice, but can't afford a good food processor or juicer yet. What do you recommend I buy. I take Miracle greens right now as a supplement, but not sure if I can do it on supplements alone.
    Please let me know what you recommend.
    Thanks

    Do you have a blender. A lot of people would think that the blender is more important because you can make smoothies and that will get you by until you can get a juicer. Apple and carrot is a nice smoothie.

    You can put your fruits or whatever you want into the blender, then strain it through a nut milk bag, or a very fine strainer.

    Victoria Boutenko did this at one of her demonstrations, demonstrating, if you want to keep the fibre, drink it as a smoothie, you want a juice, strain it..

    Default Shake it up, baby

    I agree with using the blender and just having smoothies. There's a reason that fiber's in the fruits and veggies!

    And ... if you really want to juice, it's my understanding that green juices are the best and it sounds like your juicer will do those.
