2 Days, 3 new juices

Thanks to my sister, we have a new "Juicing recipes" book. 
We tried 3 new juices and they are all delicious.
I went a local farmer who has strawberries and picked up a big bucket of them. Now what? 
How about some "Sweet & Spicy Citrus" juice? 
5 Carrots
1 Orange
1/3 cup of Strawberries. I didn't measure, I just threw a bunch in
1 Lemon
a hunk of Ginger

Will it be good? Heck yeah it will! I really enjoyed this one we had for breakfast. According to the juicing book it is "Exceptionally rich in vitamin A and vitamin C"

 We still had strawberries left over, so this morning we had "Refreshing Strawberry Juice"
2 cups Strawberries; or just throw in what you have left
1 Cucumber
1/4 Lemon 
I didn't think that would be enough juice for the both of us, so I added in a pear and the whole lemon.
It was good and refreshing! I think the pear might have toned down the lemon taste a bit. But, we both liked it. Pig doesn't look too thrilled though. 

"Packed with ellagic acid, a phytonutrient that helps fight infflammation and cancer-causing cell damage", according to the juicing book. 

 For lunch we tried the "Tangerine Ginger Sipper". Except we didn't have tangerines, so I substituted an orange and a few clementines. 
1 "Tangerine"
1 Pear (or 2 for more juice)
1/4 Lemon (or a whole one because they taste good)
1/2 inch fresh ginger

Pig is much more excited about this one! According to the juicing book it is "A thirst-quenching combination of sweet and tart". We liked it!
