We spend about $65 a week on juicing. Just for the fruit. I tend to purchase organic only. (Even the pineapple)I read your post, and laughed -- at first, that is what it's like. When you get "good" at it, it's a non issue, non-mess, and in 10 min or less, you have 16 oz of juicer juice, and your juicer is cleaned and back together ready for tomorrow. I have this down to a science...then again, if you saw my morning "list"....I pack a lot into a short period of time.My favorite tasting juice -- is In a bowl -- put:1/2 Pineapple ("spears" w/rind removed)-- this is going to sound anal, but trust me, it's fast, it's efficient, and it works well. Cut off the top, cut off the bottom, Stand the pineapple up on the cut ends - cut in 1/2, (throw the other 1/2 in a baggie for tomorrow.)--take the 1/2 that is left, cut that in 1/2 (Lengthwise) - you should have two triangle looking halves. Cut off the "tip" part as close - this will make a "triangle spear" -- do it to both. Then cut that in half lengthwise, and cut off the rind on both. You should have 6 spears of pineapple.This sounds like "a lot" -- but honestly, it takes less than 2 minutes. 2 Kiwi - cut off the two "tough" parts (the top and bottom) - no need to peel. 2 pears - peel on - cut off top and bottom, cut in 1/2 and 1/2 again remove seeds1/2 lemon - peeled but with white part left on -- just get rid of the yellow part. (Baggie for other 1/2)1/2" peeled ginger - peel the ginger root as a whole, and just peel what you need, and then cut it off the whole root (I hope I am making sense)The ginger gives it some "kick" so don't go overboard on the ginger. Both of my children had a lot of constipation issues, once I started juicing, it was a non-issue. Thanks to the pineapple, pear and kiwi - which are wonderful for digestion. Lemon is great for getting rid of phlem, mucus, and detoxing the liver. Ginger is a wonderful anti-inflammatory (as most of our kids have these issues) This was my "BASE" for my juicing recipes at the beginning. As I got "good" at it, I got creative. I added oranges (pineapple and orange only is just awesome!), cranberries (easy!! - add 1/4 cup, you don't need much) and great as an antibacterial. Kale isn't gross. Just do one leaf at a time. I call this "hulk" juice. It's such a pretty green. I also have done parsley, cilantro, dandelion greens -- and don't use many, because you really don't need to. (I would have used spinach like Stan Kurtz, but it's on Rob's IGg as a 3...so, I used Kale instead. - w/Kale remove the thick stem in middle, run a knife up both sides) Like most things, get your "base" together. And add from there. I used these because they seemed to pack the punch where I was having the most issues... The liver. Detox has everything to do with consistent BM's, pee, and getting the most out of your liver. The other fruit that shouldn't be ignored is apples. If you google the benefits of apple juice, it actually acts like "medicine" for the brain. I love fresh apple juice w/lemon, or with cranberries. I juice all kinds of apples. I like Gala the best, but granny smith are good too. Here in TX, we don't get Macintosh -- but I can only imagine that is awesome. I grew up in NY, and we had an orchard down the street. There is NO need to peel the apples. Just cut out the seeds. Cut into 4's and w/paring knife pick out the seeds. Give me a day, and I will make a juicing PDF for you. If you juice everyday (7 full days - this is what I did!) - 4 Pineapples (Organic) $5 each - $20. 3 Bag of 6 Kiwi (Organic) $4 each - $12. 14 pears (Organic) - $22.Ginger (1 root) - $ 4.4 Lemons (organic) - $ 4. Total ~$62.Cheaper - and wicked easy!2 Bags of Organic Apples (you will have apples left over)1 "Box" of organic already washed spinach 7 organic pears 2-4 apples1 handful of spinach 1 pearyou should "google" the benefits of these fruits...you will be amazed at what just eating these can do for you......and if you have a compost -- juicing is wonderful for it!!

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 was wondering the same thing!!!! And is the juice smoothe or is there pulp? My kid is a texture kid and I'm guessing any pulpy stuff will turn him off and not even accept the juice??? Am I wrong? Hi , can I ask, how did you transistion your child from juices to actual fruits & then veggies? My son will drink juice but he really won't accept the actual produce....

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 was wondering the same thing!!!! And is the juice smoothe or is there pulp? My kid is a texture kid and I'm guessing any pulpy stuff will turn him off and not even accept the juice??? Am I wrong? Hi , can I ask, how did you transistion your child from juices to actual fruits & then veggies? My son will drink juice but he really won't accept the actual produce....

He is only gf/cf soy, corn and if I start to see a trend of too many bananas, apples, or strawberries, I do a stop, and get him to try other things. (He is fine with it) He eat about 15 vegetables now - I love saying that because it's really only been since the end of January that he would even bring a veg to his mouth. Now he asks for broccoli, asparagus, carrots, and salad! -- and I never thought I would have heard those words...We've been on the diet since June 2009. I am so sorry, but I am not familiar with the scd diet, however, if your child doesn't eat many vegetables, juicing is a great way to get them in there... My son, Jimmy, is a bonafide fruit lover. He will walk past the candy aisle, and go straight for the strawberries, apples and bananas, and beg me in the grocery store... (How could I say no?) Frozen blueberries are dessert...he calls them mini-pops. Someone offered him a " cookie " and he said " no-thank you. " at three...(thank God, it had wheat, butter, HFCS and transfat in it, and I would have cried a lot!) And that is exactly what I did. I did fruits at first -- so he could get used to the texture and taste..(and that took some time!) and I slowly worked all the other stuff in. It worked well for us. I know that some are worried about sugar, but when your child only eats 5 things, you have to pick your battles. Children have to eat. Milk and wheat weren't an option, so I went for the next thing that I could get him, sugar - in it's natural form. With fiber, enzymes, and all sorts of wonderful things that the body and the brain needs...This didn't slow us down one bit. Jimmy responded very well to the diet, and its just gotten better and better. He is now only slightly speech delayed. I realize that many parents on this board fight so many fronts that fighting the " sugar " in all it's forms has got to be the worst...because some of these kids are so picky -- they would starve...I know, my child was EXTREMELY picky..and that has resolved itself. He finally has what I think is a very balanced diet -- FINALLY.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Leah,I have the same concerns. I haven't started juicing yet, I am such a procrastinator and maybe somewhat autistic myself as I am very resistant to changing my routine!!! But when I start juicing I am going to use the low phenol fruits, I believe these are peeled pears, golden delicious apples and for color honeydew. Not sure where cantaloupe figures in, I'd have to look. I think this is correct anyway, I may need to double-check that info. laura and toni -i thought i was the only one on earth whose child prefers fruits and vegetables. are you both sure this is good? (i know it sounds like a crazy question). we also juice but ive done a lot of reading and spoke to a couple drs at the dan! conference about this and they suggested that phenols could be a problem and lo and behold when i went to think of it, noams absolute faves are apples, tomatoes and strawberries -- all high phenol foods. i have heard there are some enzymes to help but for now, i cut those fruits out and the only fruit ive added to his veggie juices is pears... have either of you heard about this yet? laura, maybe doesn't apply to you because jimmy is more or less recovered but this topic has been high on my list to research because if you use the gf/cf reasoning (ie - those who most crave G/C foods are the best responders to the diet), then you would think that cravings, of any kind, essentially are your most dangerous foods that you ought to steer the clearest from... what do you think?leah We are in the process of going with the Raw diet.

Cut off the top, cut off the bottom, Stand the pineapple up on the cut ends - cut in 1/2, (throw the other 1/2 in a baggie for tomorrow.)-- take the 1/2 that is left, cut that in 1/2 (Lengthwise) - you should have two triangle looking halves. Cut off the " tip " part as close - this will make a " triangle spear " -- do it to both. Then cut that in half lengthwise, and cut off the rind on both. You should have 6 spears of pineapple. This sounds like " a lot " -- but honestly, it takes less than 2 minutes. 2 Kiwi - cut off the two " tough " parts (the top and bottom) - no need to peel. 2 pears - peel on - cut off top and bottom, cut in 1/2 and 1/2 again remove seeds 1/2 lemon - peeled but with white part left on -- just get rid of the yellow part. (Baggie for other 1/2)1/2 " peeled ginger - peel the ginger root as a whole, and just peel what you need, and then cut it off the whole root (I hope I am making sense) The ginger gives it some " kick " so don't go overboard on the ginger.

I added oranges (pineapple and orange only is just awesome!), cranberries (easy!! - add 1/4 cup, you don't need much) and great as an antibacterial. Kale isn't gross. Just do one leaf at a time. I call this " hulk " juice. It's such a pretty green. I also have done parsley, cilantro, dandelion greens -- and don't use many, because you really don't need to. (I would have used spinach like Stan Kurtz, but it's on Rob's IGg as a 3...so, I used Kale instead. - w/Kale remove the thick stem in middle, run a knife up both sides) Like most things, get your " base " together. And add from there. I used these because they seemed to pack the punch where I was having the most issues... The liver. Detox has everything to do with consistent BM's, pee, and getting the most out of your liver. The other fruit that shouldn't be ignored is apples. If you google the benefits of apple juice, it actually acts like " medicine " for the brain. I love fresh apple juice w/lemon, or with cranberries. I juice all kinds of apples.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 ,I think you can strain the juice or perhaps (haven't used my juicer yet) a setting to do that on the machine. will know of course! was wondering the same thing!!!! And is the juice smoothe or is there pulp? My kid is a texture kid and I'm guessing any pulpy stuff will turn him off and not even accept the juice??? Am I wrong? Hi , can I ask, how did you transistion your child from juices to actual fruits & then veggies? My son will drink juice but he really won't accept the actual produce....

He is only gf/cf soy, corn and if I start to see a trend of too many bananas, apples, or strawberries, I do a stop, and get him to try other things. (He is fine with it) He eat about 15 vegetables now - I love saying that because it's really only been since the end of January that he would even bring a veg to his mouth. Now he asks for broccoli, asparagus, carrots, and salad! -- and I never thought I would have heard those words...We've been on the diet since June 2009. I am so sorry, but I am not familiar with the scd diet, however, if your child doesn't eat many vegetables, juicing is a great way to get them in there... My son, Jimmy, is a bonafide fruit lover. He will walk past the candy aisle, and go straight for the strawberries, apples and bananas, and beg me in the grocery store... (How could I say no?) Frozen blueberries are dessert...he calls them mini-pops. Someone offered him a "cookie" and he said "no-thank you." at three...(thank God, it had wheat, butter, HFCS and transfat in it, and I would have cried a lot!) And that is exactly what I did. I did fruits at first -- so he could get used to the texture and taste..(and that took some time!) and I slowly worked all the other stuff in. It worked well for us. I know that some are worried about sugar, but when your child only eats 5 things, you have to pick your battles. Children have to eat. Milk and wheat weren't an option, so I went for the next thing that I could get him, sugar - in it's natural form. With fiber, enzymes, and all sorts of wonderful things that the body and the brain needs...This didn't slow us down one bit. Jimmy responded very well to the diet, and its just gotten better and better. He is now only slightly speech delayed. I realize that many parents on this board fight so many fronts that fighting the "sugar" in all it's forms has got to be the worst...because some of these kids are so picky -- they would starve...I know, my child was EXTREMELY picky..and that has resolved itself. He finally has what I think is a very balanced diet -- FINALLY.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Hi everyone, I asked about the texture issue too a while ago because even though juicers come with strainers, the juice that you produce when juicing will be thicker than the juice that comes from a juice box. My son wouldn't drink the juice that I was making even though it was pure juice. recommended adding small amounts of the juiced juice to the store bought type that your child is used to and gradually increasing the ratio of juiced juice to store bought juice. This is working for us. Hope this helps. See , I was definitely listening, lol. Also, , the zinc is working for my son! First it increased his appetite to normal levels and he is now gaining weight and growing. Now he is becoming more willing to eat new foods. He's very texture sensitive, but has just begun eating banana!! Yea! Thanks again! > > > > >Â > , > > > > > > My juicer came in last night, hurray!

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 The juice we get from our juicer is just like juice from the box.
