Hi,

I have been doing some research on juicing for a few months now. I have heard good and negative things about it. Can anyone tell me how juicing went for them? Also what are some great recipe books on juicing? 

Thanks

I bought a juicer a while back. It was okay. Came with a nice recipe book. Ended up taking it back. It's better than nothing, but the juice goes through your body quickly, so you don't absorb nearly as many nutrients as you would if you were to eat the fruits and vegetables by themselves.

yep, and your kids may not like any homemade juice 'cause it just doesn't have the sugar the store bought stuff has!  I water down a lot of OJ I buy cause it's just too thick--I figure it's cutting down on the sugar too.
