Got quite a bit of green juice here! What went in:
1 whole cucumber (these produce a lot of juice! great ingredient for juicing)
a bunch of heads of dino and red kale (pictured)
2 whole carrots
4 heads of swiss chard
I'm new to juicing, but I've noticed some key things that are helpful. First, make sure there's a nice balance of tastes, it's easy to make a juice taste bad if there's too much of things that aren't sweet, like kale, spinach, etc. It's nice to bring back some sweeter vegetables like carrots (make juices much much nicer) and cucumbers. These are great helpers in this department. Fruits are obvious sweeteners too, and often provide lots of juice too.
Here's the muscle. An omega juicer, which is working great so far. Basically, the bulk of this is just a motor (inside white part) I believe, and the rest just turns and crushes the vegetables (lovingly) and produces juice from the bottom tubing, and outputs the waste, or pulp through the horizontal opening at the end, which I'm learning acts as great fertilizer in a garden. Everything must be used effectively!
