Okay I gave in and bought a juicer. I will not be juicing fruit as I like it and will eat it if I have some. But I hate vegetables not all of them but most. I know I need all those nice green and yellow veggies that I would never eat. So I am juicing them just to get the added nutrition. I know we are suppose to eat instead of drink these things but I just can't do it and I seem to be able drink the juice and keep it down. So far spinach, cabbage, carrots, cucumbers all together and 4 or 5 grapes to kill the taste. I takes about 2 cups of each of the greens to get some juice

Any downsides you see to this?

I have a question- how do you all wash your fruits and vegetables before juicing (or blending)? I have heard some say, just wash with Water and others have said to make your own vegetable/fruit wash by mixing water, vinegar, and baking soda (I think?- can't remember exactly what I read and where I read it). Anyway, just wondering what you all do....

Thanks!

With greens like kale or spinach I wash them with a small amount of antibacterial soap. Dish soap or hand soap...Not a lot but just a little and I rinse them really really really well. With apples or carrots I just rinse in water.
