    I refuse to use non-organic produce when juicing because the juice goes directly into the blood stream and I believe it could actually cause damage to juice non-organic fruits and veggies. I also believe a person needs 3 - 1/2 gallons of juice a day...at least. So, that may be why it would cost me $20 a day to juice and a normal raw day is between $8-$10 dollars. I have a dear friend who did a non-organic juice feast and she still spent $15 a day on produce, so I don't think spending $20 a day for an all organic juice feast is unreasonable!

    I don't drink or smoke or go out to eat or buy new clothes or new shoes or new curtains or plates or pots and pans. I don't have an electricity bill or a telephone line or a broadband connection or a mains gas bill or any holidays. I feel like I can spend some of the money I save on those things to buy good food :)

    I'm now curious about how many pounds of veggies and fruits I should be getting if I plan to juice for a whole day?
    It's time to live.
    With love, Kit

    Not sure if I answered this already and my post went to moderation or if my phone failed to send the reply ...

    Yesterday I juiced 6 apples, one pineapple and a pound of carrots. It made about 2 litres. I was eating other stuff as well so this wasn't my sole nutrition; if you wanted to use that as a rough guide and then add in whatever greens, celery, beets etc you wanted then you could.
