The Fastpitch Juicing Journal

I like eating them too, but juicing them is also pretty cool (minus the dirt of course). I really didn't think I'd like drink carrot juice. It sounds gross. Maybe because it reminds me of tomato juice which I do NOT like (at least not the commercial version anyway). So I was surprised when I tasted carrot juice and like it. Then again, as I stated earlier, I do like to eat carrots so maybe I shouldn't have been all that surprised that I like drinking them too.

One thing I tried in addition to straight carrot juice was pineapple carrot juice. It was interesting. Not bad, but certainly not a flavor you taste on an every day basis.

If you're just getting started with juicing, carrots are a good vegetable to try. They are kind of a "base" for many vegetable juices. Plus they are really great for anti-oxidant reasons.

The only problem I have with juicing carrots is that my son grabs 'em and eats 'em before they get a chance to get juiced.
