Making Your Juice Taste Great

Making your juices taste good is easy to do once you get a basic juice formula down that you like. My personal favorite combination for a juice base is apple, lemon, and ginger. The apple sweetens it all up a bit, the lemon really cuts out the bitter taste of the greens, and ginger gives it a delicious little kick. Then I usually add cucumber to dilute the taste a little bit. Cucumbers are so full of water they end up producing a lot of neutral tasting juice.
Great options to add to this base are: celery, carrots, dark leafy greens, parsley or cilantro, bell peppers, squash, cabbage, beets, or any other vegetable or green that looks interesting to you at the store. This is a great way to get all the benefits of juicing in a great tasting elixir!
Of course if you are making a fruit juice, it is easy to make it taste good. It is a good idea to dilute any fruit juice you make with water about 50/50 to cut down on the amount of sugar you are consuming. Since the fiber is juiced out, there is nothing there to slow down the absorption of those sugars into your bloodstream.
