Anybody else juice here?
I've been juicing at least 3 times a week for about 2 years now. I pretty much just have a mason jar full of whatever vegetable juice I make for dinner. A few weeks ago we had a doctor come in at my work to measure antioxidant levels with some type of laser and I was 1 of 7 people in the highest bracket (optimal) in the entire company. This was probably attributed to the juicing that I have been doing non stop leading up to the test (I juiced every single day for 30 days prior to the test). People always thought I was crazy making random green juices until they saw the results...after that everyone stopped giving me a hard time.
The only fruit that I ever use in the juice that I am making are apples and lemons...the rest are solely vegetables.
I own two different juicers which are totally different. If anybody wants any advice then shoot over the questions. I would highly encourage you to at least give it a shot, even if you hate vegetables. With as much money as we are spending on the planted tank hobby, we might as well spend a decent chunk on health.
Today's dinner + cottage cheese that I had after the gym:

I don't juice but instead blend . That way you keep all the fiber. The one I make in the morning has been having the following which I split with my wife (probably 24-32 oz each)
1 handful of Baby Kale
1 handful of Spinach
1 avocado (makes it creamy plus the fat keeps you full through lunch)
2-3 carrots
3 scoops of protein powder (primal fuel)
1 cup or so of Frozen wild blueberries
1-2 cups of frozen organic mangos or a combo of organic strawberries, pineapple, peaches, and mango.

Nothing special on my list. But the more varieties I put in the mixer the better IMO. Sometimes, I go for the taste.

Unless you use the "spent" veggie pulp in a soup or as compost, you end up throwing a huge portion in the trash with each glass. Also the best juicers are very easily in the $200+ range.
Most of my friends who are into fitness or want to get healthier have packed away/sold their juicers after they've seen what I can do with my blender.
- Also ease of cleanup plays an important role in how often most people will use a piece of equipment. A decent blender with a well designed lid can be thoroughly rinsed out in about 30-60 seconds.
- A juicer usually has to be disassembled. Takes easily 10-15 minutes by hand or run it through the dishwasher. Juicers I find are more of a hassle to clean up so I avoid using them.
