There are two categories of juice.

Chris made a chart to judge the tastes of the juices. There are two categories. The first category is "If you have to fight your survival instincts to get the mother fucker down" then it is not a good juice and we will not make it again. The second category is "everything else is okay."

Breakfast juice was in the okay category. We had "Carrot Apple Lemon Juice". He didn't really like it, but since his throat wasn't closing up trying to block the liquid, it went into the okay box. I thought it was a little dull tasting, but decent enough
Carrot Apple Lemon
4 carrots
2 apples
1 lemon 

Lunch was better. Kind of dull tasting too, but not too bad. We had the "Garden Variety Juice". I decided to see if Cha Cha wanted kale pulp. The answer is "no." She closed her eyes and turned her head away when I made the humble offering.
Garden Variety
2 apples ( I used 3 so that there was enough juice for both of us)
2 cucumbers (I used 1 1/2 because Chris said 1 was all he could handle. So I quietly added another half to see what he would say. He didn't notice.)
8 kale leaves
a handful of parsley

When I got home from work we were both starving. So I made "Watermelon Crush". This one went in the "fight your survival instincts" box. I think it was because we used the rind. Chris almost couldn't handle it. He said his brain was whispering to him "don't drink this, this is someone's barf." It made a lot of juice, so he had to get down about 12 oz! I didn't think it was as horrible, my throat didn't shut down to try and prevent me from drinking it, like Chris's did.
Watermelon Crush
1/2 watermelon
1 lime
a handful of basil leaves
Green Juice

Time for a dinner juice. I'm going to call it Green Juice. Chris's drank it in one go, set the cup down and said he never wanted this one again! Within seconds he changed his mind.."nope, nope..it's not bad." I on the other hand didn't like it. I think my celery threshold is 2.
Green Juice
1 cucumber (that's right Chris, you had 2 1/2 cucumbers today)
3 celery
2 pears
some kale
1 zucchini 

The only really good juice today was the "Carrot Cake Juice." It didn't taste like carrot cake, but it was still good. I was skeptical making it because I don't like sweet potatoes and this one has 1 1/2 of them in it.

Carrot Cake Juice
4-6 carrots
2 apples
1 1/2 sweet potatoes
cinnamon sprinkled on top



Yum. Tastes like Thanksgiving.
