I also have an Omega and a Blendtec blender. Both get lots of use.

A tip for the Omega -- freeze peeled bananas. You can 'juice' them and end up with something close to soft serve ice cream, only healthy. Look up some YouTube videos and see what people do. I know it sounds a bit strange but the results are quite good.

ive been thinking about this for a while but im not sure i have the willpower. a few people i know have done it and have said good things though

I have juiced in the past, the clean up is always such a pain.

Now we have a Champ HP Blender, chops up anything, I just throw the hole fruit in there(for the most part). My morning smoothie is a cup of oatmeal, a banana, an apple, an orange, 1/2 cup of nonfat greek yogurt, misc berries or seasonal fruit, some almond milk, and a scoop of Living Fuels Superberry, and a scoop of Supergreens. This is for both my wife and I.

Carrots+pears+Celery!

My usual one is carrots, kale, cucumber flavored with apple or pear. It's what i have for breakfast if i'm too lazy to cook steel cut oats. Wanted to do beets to increase my performance in road biking but found out that i am allergic to beets the hard way. Oh well.

1 apple, 1 Orange, 4 Kale leaves, 3 Celery Stalks, 1/2 bunch parsley, 1 cucumber, 1/4 lemon, 1 Carrot. Makes about 32oz.

Try to stay away from mixing too many sugary fruits/veggies. A lot of people think they're doing themselves a favor by juicing beets, carrots, apples, pears, pineapple, grapes, etc...but you're really taking in a lot of glucose with these. Check out this link to see the gylcemic index of fruits and veggies. The lower the number the less sugar it has: http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/wha...cindlist_4.htm

Green juice
1 bundle of kale

1/2 lemon

Detox juice

3 celery stalks

General rule is buy organic if you can. Wash your fruits and veggies thoroughly otherwise you'll be ingesting the pesticides.

Apples, spinach and carrots. Strawberries, black berries, blue berries, raspberries, bananas.

Well carrots and apple juice is one of my favorite juice.I drink daily apple juice in my breakfast.Instead of drinking apple juice eat apples. It is also a good, source of dietary fiber, vitamin B6 and copper, and a very good source of vitamin C and manganese.

I've heard a lot about this but not really sure how it works? Do you guys use it as like a meal replacement or in conjunction with full meals? I wouldn't mind trying it if it's as good for you as everyone says

[Conrad456]

Yes I like juices.
I take fresh fruits juices at morning.
I mostly take apple, orange, grapefruit, carrot, peach, grapes, and roots beats juices.

hi Newff
carrot,apple and lemon are good in juices.I also like these but you can take also juice of banana,mango and orange which are very delicious and healthy.Basically,orange juice can also be a best mineral source.

Hello dude..I really like the Apple and juice and carrot juices because these juice category is matching with my body specially carrot juice is very essential part of my body i have short of blood in the body that's why i preferred the carrot juice...

Hi there,

My typical blend (a tall glass each for 2 people) is 4-5 kale leaves and stalks, 4 celery stalks, 1 cucumber, 1 lemon, 1 orange, 2 apples, 1 handful of parsley, 1 inch of ginger.

I will often mix in 2-3 carrots instead of the orange. Really depends on what looks good at the market and what you have on hand. The ginger gives it a nice peppery bite. And either peel the lemon and orange before juicing or juice separately, the juice will be very bitter if you don't.

The hardest part is the cleanup. I bury the leavings in my garden, rinse the parts, scrub the element a bit and put the whole lot in the dish washer. Kind of a pain but the results are well worth it.

Good luck and keep us posted!

i have an omega juicer but it's in the garage. too much effort imo and it wastes food.

i prefer actually eating fruit/veggies (fiber is as important as anything, and it's all dumped from the juicer) along with an occasional jug of juice or smoothie from the supermarket
