    Anyone know any good combos of fruits/veggies?
    A good one i know is 4 apples and 1/4 of a lemon, and it makes natural lemonade without any added sugar or water! Its great!
    But a word of advice, carrot and celery juices do not taste good together at all!!

    I think carrots and celery, plus a few fruits...are really great!

    Anyway, you just need to experiement...apples, carrots, and grapes are really good together.

    I don't know...sometimes I don't even know what I put in the juicer...I just put whatever I have in there and usually it turns out pretty great :)

    Yeah, im a huge fan of apple/carrot juice. I want to try carrot/kale juice because i heard it was really good, but i can never find kale a stores, i dont even know the right season for it. Have you tried cantelope juice? its really good, when you put a bunch of crushed ice in it it tastes like a little smoothie!

    I really liked the carrot/celery/ginger with 1 apple juice I made, I used 2.5:1 carrot to celery and there was just a hint of the celery, I liked it,not overpowering at all, the ginger also helped.

    Apple/carrot/ginger is one of my favorites, the ginger gives it a nice kick and is super good for you.

    Apple/carrot/parsley is another favorite

    Apple/peach was really nice when peaches were on sale

    apple/strawberry and apple/strawberry/peach were very nice also.

    Its hard to go wrong with juicing as long as you use fruits you like, the tricky part for me is getting the right combination so one dosent overpower the other. I tend to use the apple as filler/sweetener as its cheap and makes a nice fill juice or to sweeten up carrot juice.

    Go with your heart/stomach it wont steer you wrong.

    It sort of depends on my mood and how much of each ive got left but a rough general is 2-3 cups of strawberries, 3-5 peaches, and 2-3 apples. I dont think ive used the same "recipie" twice, whatever you feel like at the time is my style.

    I like the mix of the peach and strawberry, the apple is just there for some extra juice and to balance out the flavor of the strawberry and peach which I believe competes for being the most delicious of the juices.

    I add apple to pretty much everything I juice, probably more a habit now than me actually having a reason behind it.
