Im still trying to completely understand the whole what fruits and vegis go together in oder to alkalize your body. Here is what I understand.... Dont eat fruits and vegis together...Dont eat fruit and nuts together...Nuts and vegis are ok.
But what about when I juice?
Today I made a carrot and apple juice.
Is that bad to mix the two?
Thanks!

I don't know if its bad, but I've been doing it now for almost 3 weeks and it hasn't made me feel uncomfortable in any way! I purchased this little Home pH test kit 2 weeks ago and haven't opened it up yet. I figure I'll get to it eventually!

Would you normally eat Carrots and Apples
together? I don't think so. I would mix some Green
Juice in there if I were you. I like Wheatgrass Juice
first, immediately followed by Carrot Juice....WY

Maybe I would eat an apple after a carrot.... I used to think it didnt matter.... I would just like the juice to be semi sweet... Im not sure how to do that without fruit....

hi there it felt good....



ok. fruit juices and vegetable juices are both alkalinizing. just keep on juicing what you like and you will do fine. don't get hung up on trying to do it so called perfectly based on everyone elses opinion and evan so called knowledge, just like the log says'just do It" an you will do fine.

if you have a negative response that means don't do it that way ...but check up on it anyway and ask somebody since healing and cleansing reactions are sometimes involved.

apples are a neutral food and can be mixed with anything! take advantage of apples to create interesting fun to drink recipes for youself. greenstar juicers are wonderful for composing your won recipes with all sorts of juiceable produces.

yogi means wwell but he is obviously not an expert at juicing... ilearned about apples a long time ago from a very professional juice person and it has led me along to some good juice making.

you need to get a greenstar to tweek your flavors....it allows you to calculate exact amounts of things when you are mixing flavors.. use things like ginger, garlic. lemon . basil. mint. there are some many things you can add a little bit of to make your juices fun.


carrot apple is great...add a little beet lemon and ginger to make it eavan more interesting.

good juicing to you. (ok to mix fruits and veggies.)

I've never claimed to be an expert at Juicing.
Apples don't appeal to me....eating or juicing. When I
do rarely eat them, I always peel them...and they're Organic.
I have juiced a lot of Carrots over the years.
JJ....it amazes me how we're like Oil and Water.
Btw, a friend of mine says she doesn't like the way you talk
about me.....WY

Whoa really people get "heated" on a raw food forum! Ohh goodness!

Juicin John Thank you soo much for your help!
The more I researched the more I saw like 379843274987 recipes with apples in them and I'm thinkin WAIT this has to be OK!

I am 2 months RAW and have been vegan for years; I am really just following my heart and so happy that I have finally figured out how to make RAW foods a priority in my life!

I am trying to juice in the morning istead of smoothies which is what I was orignally doin for breakfast after yoga.

Today was the 1st juicing day &&& I feel like I have way more energy! I have some bee pollen... do you ever put that in your juices?

Im just tryin to do what feels good for my boday


Thanks again!

Yogi- I live in WARSHINGTON! We are an apple state! YUM!

On mixing fruits and veggies in juice, the data I have from Natural Hygiene is that lettuce and celery are combinable with fruits, the others are not. It has to do with how long they stay in the stomach and the beginning of fermentation when the fruit can't get out of the stomach because the veggies aren't ready to go out.

I never really understand how some people get so 'heated' about stuff, especially considering that they are living on a raw vegan diet!
Raw helps me chill!

No one I know has gotten 'heated' on this Thread.
Talking about Alkalizing the Body is an interesting Topic. I'm
eliminating Tomatoes, and Peppers, from my diet to see if it
has any effect.
One thing I think I've learned is to 'balance' Fruit with Greens.
Chimpanzees in the Wild eat almost as many Leaves, as they do Fruit....WY

WY and juicin' john,

I think you both are juicing experts : )

itfeltgood,

For my part, I mix whatever fruit and green veg I feel like, whether juiced, blended, or solid. I don't mix fats with fruit, like no avocado and banana smoothies, because I find they don't work well together in me system. It might be different for you; you have to try and see.

P.S. WY,

Shredded carrots and apples make a delightful slaw : )

thank you for the nice compliment tamukha. i will continue improving my art.

I agree with JJ. That is a nice compliment.

It's not something I would do on a regular basis. One thing
I have learned from many years of Juicing is I want to do it everyday.
I like to start each day with a couple of ounces of Wheatgrass Juice,
followed by 18 to 22 ounces of Carrot Juice (sometimes with a little
Celery Juice added).
Happy Juicing to us all.....WY
