I love my juicer and use it for the same reason…to add nutrients to my diet. I have several “go to” recipes that I would be happy to share with you if you PMd me your email. I mostly do celery, spinach, cucumbers, apples, pears, carrots, etc. I always peel my citrus, remove core of fruit and prewash everything. I use small amounts of ginger, lime or lemon for flavor. I have saved glass jars with lids from juice bars where I have purchased which make great storage when I make a batch I usually get about 4 servings which last in the fridge for a few days…just have to shake them before drinking.
