    ZOMG - on the weekend I discovered this one:

    1 x beetroot
    3 x apples
    1 x small lemon
    1 x pinch of mint

    apple-carrot-celery-ginger-orange is also a fave
    watermelon-pear-beetroot is one I had with my sis once that was awesome, and always reminds me of her. We call it Barbie Juice.
    grapefruit-pear-carrot
    apple-strawberry-kiwi

    You can use anything. When it's fresh, it all tastes amazing.

    In general, carrot can go with any fruits, and apples can go with any vegetable, but other than that mixing fruits and veg together can cause really bad wind. They taste nice, but the after effects arent alwats pleasant

    I love fresh juices and we have them all the time at our place. Here is a couple that I've made this week but the other girls are right so long as you drink them as they are freshly made any combination tastes great!

    beetroot, carrot & orange
    watermelon & mint
    apple, celery & cucumber

    It's always good to clean your juice machine as soon as you make the juice because if you leave it too long the pulp sticks to the machine and its just more of a pain to clean. If you use beetroot definately clean it straight away as it can stain.

    Have fun.

    I made a Vit C cruncher when we were all sick and it was awesome!:

    I put them all in:
    manderine
    orange
    pineapple
    carrot
    ginger
    mint

    Nnnnnoooommmmmmm sometimes I added in something red/pink like berries, but most of the time it was orange

    I used to do apple, carrot & celery all the time, sometimes with beetroot thrown in. Celery is good for fluid retntion too.

    hmm, should go dig the juicer out.....

    mmm yum they all sound great! I have a mountain of oranges so I made orange and mandarin juice this morning, maybe I'll add carrot or apple tomorrow or both.

    I read somewhere that too much carrot juice can make your skin turn yellow?!?

    thanks for the cleaning tip Aussiegirl hopefully I don't get sick of pulling the machine apart and putting it back together every day!

    True. You have to have a fair bit though. One a day in juice would be ok.
