Hello, i'd like to add my green recipe which is actually quite similar to Kris recipe!!

cukes
celery
lemon
kale
apple or pear
and romaine

somehow i find this combo to taste very good. I've been dying to try beets. I am worried that it may stain my juicer! Has anybody had any experience with juicing beets? Also, what does it taste like? Sweet? I need new ideas. Sometimes i get bored with the same juice every morning!!! :O) Thanks!
Michelle

Hi Michelle, I juice beets regularly--sometimes use them to replace the apple for sweetness in a green lemonade (which becomes brown or maroon lemonade when you add a beet). The beets are frighteningly bright red and sometimes when I'm done, it looks like I'm drinking a glassful of blood (sorry, but it's true), but these juices taste great and the juicer cleans up fine. The beet color just rinses right off. I do find that my juicer is stained with what appears to be limescale or something that I can SCRATCH off with my fingernail, but that I can't remove with anything else. And that was there before I ever began juicing beets.

Try soaking it for a bit in white vinegar (or scrub with a toothbrush dipped in vinegar). That should get the white junk off.

hi michelle

i used to use beets. it won't stain the juicer. you don't even need to peel them. just wash well. it's quite sweet so try it in place of your fruit. let me know how it works!

So, I don't know my sprouts...are sweet pea sprouts the same as sweet pea shoots? I found the shoots at Whole Foods, but I wasn't sure if they were the same.

Okay so I tried throwing the whole lemon in today and it worked like a charm!! The only thing was that the taste of the juice was slightly bitter....I think because of the rind. Im not sure I'll keep throwing the whole the in, but just because of the taste.

I think just a regular old lemon...I don't know though... It wasn't horrible, but it was bitter and sort of hurt my stomach a little. I will probably still toss the whole thing in when Im short on time but on other days I might squeeze it.

Sprouts may be a little less mature than shoots. You can make sweet pea sprouts in a matter of days in a ball jar container. So, sprouts are what grow from seed within about 5-10 days. Shoots can be just the top few inches of the sweet pea plants. Nutritiously, there's probably very little difference. I would guess that they could be substituted for each other with no problem.

So, it is okay to put a whole lemon in the juicer, peel and all? I have the Breville two speeder Juice Fountain. Then would it be alright to put an orange in? Will the blades get worn more by doing this?
