Comments on: “Green Lemonade” http://dragonchasers.com/2005/07/23/green-lemonade/ But what will you do when you catch one!? Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:05:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Sara http://dragonchasers.com/2005/07/23/green-lemonade/#comment-121771 Sara Sat, 09 May 2009 15:29:10 +0000 http://dragonchasers.com/?p=494#comment-121771 The Champion juicer is the best. Instead of chopping the veggies, it grinds them. When veggies are chopped, the only juice you get is the stuff flying out of it-but there's still some in the left over pulp. When they're ground up, you get much more of the juice. I just got one on Ebay for $139, but even if you buy one new I think it's only $235 or something. I'm crazy about using as much of my fruits and veggies as I can, so I really like it! Also, it seriously takes 5 minutes to clean, and it's super quiet. By the way, I'm not a promoter or anything-I just got this juicer and it's been the best thing ever. Most Raw sites I'd looked at raved about the Champion, ad I totally know why! Good luck everyone!

Although that said, it's been a while since I did any juicing... :( But mostly that'd due to me being lazy!!! Hiya Stacy,

My Waring juice extractor arrived yesterday and I'm super excited. But now I'm reading these posts and getting worried... does it really take THAT many veggies and fruits every day to make this stuff??? My husband and I are both grad students and while we invest in our health, dumping a week's worth of groceries into a glass of juice is a bit out of our price range... Help!

It's has a low RPM motor so you don't burn any enzymes from the veggies & fruit. It also has a twin blade so you get a lot of juice out of it! I got mine wholesale for $375 (it's worth the price and your paying for your health!). You can find sites online that sells it for that price. Good luck and happy juicing!

I have an old juicer that was passed down to me...a Juice Man Junior. The recipe always gives me around 32 ounces ( I use 3 apples if they're small). My sister ordered the juicer recommended and claims that she only gets about 20 or so ounces of juice from the recipe. Anyone have a comment on this?

The recipe I use is a head of celery, a head of spinach, two fuji apples cored (don't want the seeds in there as they turn to poison) and one lemon peeled. I have the same juicer and it said to peel citris fruit. I am doing so. I have to cut my apple too. I think it meant little apples when it said this, because fuji do not fit, but they have great juice! Mine tastes great straight from the juicer. Never as good by lunch time, but hey... I slipped and I'm back on! I just need more recipes to stay with it. Plus with a family of 8, the other 7 are NOT into it I have to keep remembering how much better it makes me feel! (They are major carnivores and mommy is not. ACK! but mommy does all the cooking) Makes it more challenging. Anyone in the same boat? Ideas? I’ve been juicing too.

Be careful with the peelings of lemon and lime. I know Natalia says to leave them on, but only if organic and I prefer the taste when peeled. The apples are really important for the sweetness. It's really much better to make it fresh each time rather than storing in fridge. It doesn't take long. I think the green lemonade is yummy. Be careful with the peelings of lemon and lime.

Only I make mine with a couple of apples, three mandarin oranges, three beets, a bunch of carrots, and a splash of natural honey. It tastes like....um....something "good". The color is deep red, and the vitamin C in the three lemons keeps it from oxidizing. All that stuff generated about 2 quarts and I refrigerate and drink morning and afternoon. If nothing else it helps me think I'm doing something healthy for my body. Who said fad food has to be boring! I’ve been enjoying the green lemonade too!

I read the book and have been having this juice daily for a couple of weeks. A couple of weeks ago my juicer broke and didn't have the ability to juice for 5 days - I didn't feel good at all. I will tell you that if you are using lemon (rather than lime) it has a super "fresh" and bright taste. I don't know if that is the correct way to describe it, but it's really good. I feel myself detoxing and being more able to eliminate regularly. I really loved reading everyone’s comments about the green lemonade!
