Remember, juicing is all about finding the right combinations that are both healthy AND tasty. It might take a while for you to get used to drinking vegetables at first. Some you may end up growing to love, and some you’ll just never be able to like. That’s fine!
Keep a recipe book and note down the ingredients of every juice you make. Once you’ve tried it, note down how much you like it. You can then refer back to this in future as you perfect your combinations. Now go, get juicing!
