HOW TO MAKE FRESH JUICE

Let’s see, here we have vegetables from Buford Highway Farmers Market:

In the baggie is nopal cactus which is supposed to help with inflammation (juiced a 1/2 cup).

Then we have one stalk of organic celery, 1/2 bunch of organic spinach, one apple, 3 carrots, 1/3 bunch of organic cilantro, 1/3 bunch of watercress, one large cucumber, one lemon with yellow skin taken off, and thumb-sized piece of ginger.

I put it in the juicer and voila!!! I drank about half of it to fit it into that jar!

If you are a newbie to making juice, consider buying a used Champion juicer on ebay for like $25, you can order all the replacement parts for less than $100, (the blade is $36,) and it makes great juice–particularly for carrots and apples, (more bulky foods). The juicer I’m using in the photo was designed for greens and I decided to buy it after I’d gotten into juicing and was ready to make the hefty $200-$300 commitment.
