Guest guest Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 , I also was thinking that juicing sprouts ensures nothing goes to waste. Usually, if I have any extra, I share them with my birds--but I sprout lots of seeds and beans for them as it is. So today I try my first sprout juice--Italian mix. This week, my radish/mustard sprouts will be ready, so I will give them a try too. Thanks for your tips on how it went for you--I will keep the lemon juice on hand and make my usual carrot concoction of carrots, oranges, apples.  I cannot abide celery though. Beets, which I don't care for, I DO like juiced.

I'll be working all weekend but I'm going to harvest some of my sprouts this evening and do my first sprout juice. If it energizes me as others have mentioned,I'll be juicing it every morning! Your weekend plans sound blissful, and I think we're in for some sun again. :ave a great weekend all! Sent from my BlackBerry® powered by Virgin Mobile. Re: taste of sprout juice Hats off to both Molly and for their hard and essential work in icu. Although I no longer work in hospitals, I am forever respectful and grateful to those of you in the trenches doing that daily, hard work. I used to do triage in the ER in jersey city, back in my undergrad days-oh my, the things the Er, OR, and ICU had to handle! Hats off to you and God Bless. You are doing important work. I am hoping to juice sprouts this weekend-been working a lot and absolutely need the break and the excitement of trying this! marionl Who is looking forward to a weekend of juices, reading, and rest!

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 n I f you can find Golden beets give them a try,they are sweeter and milder...My favorite for sure.I keep trying to like celery too and I just can't.

Seems like the lemon cuts and bitterness in almost anything and it also helps even my weirdest mixtures blend well together...

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 I just juiced a bunch of Italian mix and downed about 4 oz of the juice. I took a little sip and decided that: A. is right, sprout juice tastes like sprouts, and, B. a little lemon juice was in order. So I squeezed half of a lemon into the juice, gave it a good swirl and drank it down. For a moment, before adding the lemon, I considered apple cider vinegar instead. But rather than run the risk of ending up with some awful tasting concoction, I stuck with the tried and true lemon. Glad I did. And am very glad I read and Suz's posts about what they did. 4 oz I thought was amazing for me. And without that lemon, I sincerely doubt I would have been leisurely sipping the stuff-I am sure it would have been more like how I drink wheatgrass-quickly downed while holding my breath and followed quickly by another juice. I feel quite an energy lift that I have to attribute to that juice I am pretty excited about trying radish/mustard sprout juice At the moment I am plotting where to next get my coconut water fix. Happy, peaceful weekend to all, n Successful sprout juicer, thanks to folks on this list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 thanks Jane, I will give those a try. I happen to have some golden beets in the fridge--was supposed to cook them for my husband but I have so much trouble forcing myself to cook beets--I make them for him occasionally, but unless he asks, I pretty much don't. They are so low on my list cooked! Juiced or pickled are okay for me though  n Rollings, PhD NJ Licensed Psychologist #4686 www.DrnRollings.com Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is--whether its victim is human or animal--we cannot expect things to be much better in this world...
