Favourite Recipe For Juices
 

I have just bought a juicer, thought there would have been some recipe ideas but alas there isn't. Anybody got any favourite recipes? I have got apples, oranges, bannanas,plums, strawberries and nectarines. Any suggestions will be more than welcome.:)

Re: Favourite Recipe For Juices
 

No wonder nobody has answered, just cleaned the damm thing and now I can't get it back together. Why do they make things so awkward? It won't be getting used much because I will end up smashing the bloody thing!!:eek:

Re: Favourite Recipe For Juices
 

Just make your own up and throw a bit of everything in :)

Re: Favourite Recipe For Juices
 

Interesting now I need to get it back in one piece . Thanks:)

Re: Favourite Recipe For Juices
 

I've been juicing for a while now. My regular daily juice is carrot and apple. For one decent glass it takes about 3 medium carrots plus 1 apple. Very nice tasting juice. For variation try adding a stick of celery, or about 1" of root ginger.

What sort did you buy? Is it a centrifugal juicer?

Cleaning juicers can be a bit of a pain, but mine is pretty simple and quick to clean. Nigel Slater, in his book 'Thirst', says that you have to see cleaning the machine as part of the juicing process. That's how I approach it now and I don't mind the few minutes it takes to clean mine now.

Re: Favourite Recipe For Juices
 

I'm not bothered about the cleaning I just can't get it back together. It is my own fault it said to practice before doing any juices. I will leave it till tomorrow now because I don't want to break it!!!

Re: Favourite Recipe For Juices
 

It is a whole fruit juicer.

Re: Favourite Recipe For Juices
 

I have a Breville juicer from the AWT range. I bought it because I could put in whole fruits without peeling (except oranges, bananas, etc), which speeds things up. The pulp is really dry as well, which means it's getting most of the juice out of the veg/fruit too.

I'm convinced it's made a difference to my overall health.

Good luck with the juicing. :)

Re: Favourite Recipe For Juices
 

Thanks we have had some and really enjoyed it, it is a good way to get plenty of fruit and veg.

Re: Favourite Recipe For Juices
 

Beware of Kiwi fruit - my sieve section has liitle black bits which no amount of scrubbing will get out

Re: Favourite Recipe For Juices
 

Will bear that in mind Thanks:D

Re: Favourite Recipe For Juices
 

Very good Granny:p

Re: Favourite Recipe For Juices
 

I bought a juicer earlier this year. It's good and easy to clean (and put back together ;)) but it takes quite a fair bit of fruit to get a full glass of juice and, what with the washing out etc., it's easier just to eat the fruit. :D

Re: Favourite Recipe For Juices
 

Well mine is really awkward, haven't even got it back together yet(haven't tried today). It was Ian who wanted one and with him not being to well he isn't really eating as he should. Just thought it was a good way to get plenty of goodness into his system:D

Re: Favourite Recipe For Juices
 

I feel for you, Bernadette. If all else fails, take it back to the shop where you bought it and ask them to do it and show you how it fits together - if they can!

Oh, if you ever get the thing working again, strawberry and mango makes a nice drink. :)

Re: Favourite Recipe For Juices
 

I might just get another one, what make is yours?

Re: Favourite Recipe For Juices
 

I don't know which company made it, its a Lloyd's Pharmacy own brand.

Re: Favourite Recipe For Juices
 

Managed to get it back together between us, I won't be using that one again. We are gioing to get a different sort altogether:o

Re: Favourite Recipe For Juices
 

This is the one I have

Amazon.co.uk: Antony Worrall Thompson by Breville JE16 Professional Juice Extractor: Kitchen & Home

It juices most vegetables/fruits whole (just peel oranges, bananas, obviously). It leaves the pulp very dry, which means of course that it exacts more juice than cheaper models and so you don't use as many vegetables/fruits and is therefore cheaper to run.
As an example, 2 large carrots and an apple make one medium size glass of juice.

I use mine every day and it works like a charm. Cleaning is pretty easy too and only takes 5 minutes.

Re: Favourite Recipe For Juices
 

That looks a good one , will show it to Ian when he wakes up. I should have asked for advice before I got one, how come we are always wise after the event?:D

Re: Favourite Recipe For Juices
 

I'm not a salesman or a friend of Worrell Thompson ;) , but it is very sturdy too. I read loads of reviews before buying one.

I had another one from that range and that was great too. Unfortunately my ex-wife took it and left me high and dry. ;) :D

Re: Favourite Recipe For Juices
 

Like I say should have asked for advice, will definetly be getting another one.:)

Re: Favourite Recipe For Juices
 

Have you tried complan,,,its like a milkshake and a realy good standby, full of vitamins,,,

Re: Favourite Recipe For Juices
 

It's not really for me GC, him indoors has gone all funny and decided a juicer is the answer. As he is paying who am I to argue?:p
