Awesome; Terrible, and Meh..

Three new juices for us this week. The first one was really good. Very refreshing and nice.

2 Sweet Potatoes
3 Oranges
4 or 5 carrots
hunk of Ginger

It makes two glasses of yummy. Do it! It is good.

Terrible: Any juice involving a melon is like licking Satan's butt-hole.
We have officially sworn off any and all recipes involving melons of any type. 
Here is one we tried, it was like drinking bile. 

1 Cantaloupe
5 or 6 Carrots
I thought that this would be bad, so I added a lemon
It was still bad.

Yak!

This next one is called "The Immune Booster!"
I didn't think it was bad. It was very "carroty" tasting. 
Chris thought it was "meh..."

3 Carrots
3 Apples
1/2 Lemon
Hunk of Ginger
Looks bright and cheery! 

Sweet Potatoes: Beta-carotene =

Carrots: among other things: Potassium=
helps maintain healthy sodium levels in the body, thereby helping to reduce elevated blood pressure levels.

Oranges: rich in Citrus Limonoids= 
proven to help fight a variety of cancers including that of the skin, lung, breast, stomach and colon.

Lemon Juice: raises Citrate Levels in the urine=prevents kidney stones.

Ginger: an excellent Carminative=eliminating gastrointestinal stress

Cantaloupe: Vitamin C=
protects your cells from oxidative damage -damage to your DNA, proteins and cell membranes as a side effect of your metabolism.

Apples: Alkalinity in apples assists in cleansing the destructive toxins/waste by-products from the liver.

The previous list was compiled after I Googled "why is X good for you" 
and listed some of the answers here for you.
