Hi @gardeningjunkie, my "experiment" with juicing was more about convenience of not having to make a veggie smoothie each morning for breakfast and to use to take my neuropathy supplements (pills, capsules and more pills). I was buying fresh greens - spinach, arugula, kale, and a few others along with blueberries and strawberries (my staples for fruits) and a few other fresh berries. But I was spending a half hour plus the cleanup afterwards every morning. The juicing I could do once a week and have enough juice to get me through the week to use with taking my supplements for PN. I've since recanted on both as much as I like the green smoothie and the juices. There was no joy in mudville for cleanup of my "easy to clean" juicer either. Not that I'm lazy it's just hard for me to stand for any length of time over 15 minutes.

I may go back to the green smoothie soon though as a break from my current breakfast trend - glass of fat free milk for taking the supplements and a small banana or sometimes half the milk with the supplements and the rest with a 1/2 cup of some healthy (?) cereal. Last month I picked up some Nature's Path Organic Turmeric Cereal that has coconut, turmeric, cinnamon and honey. It wasn't too bad - gave some away for a friend to try. Last week I found some Ancient Grain's organic granola type cereal at Costco and am working my way through it. I think I like the green smoothie route better than both of the cereals so I just need to plan a little better and maybe do the prep in the evening and the blending in the morning. I have a Ninja blender - kind of loud but does do a good job and it's easy to put the parts in the dishwasher ☺
