Newest toy: Breville Juicer

I've always been curious about juicing, and I finally decided to buy an introductory juicer. I've been experimenting with different greens to see how I can get the most juice out of them. So far I'm having poor luck with spinach and kale. And, duh, after seeing some youtube reviews of my particular juicer- it's the consensus that the Breville is poor at juicing soft greens. But I'm going to keep it and hope I can get better at it. Plus, this juicer was sort of an impulse buy. I don't want to spend more money on a juicer if I'm quitting the juicing game after week 1.

The juice I made this morning:

Made about 5 oz of juice:

• 2 watermelon squares (for some sweetness)
• Handful of kale
• 4 celery stalks
• 1/2 cucumber
• 1/4 lemon
• Handful of cilantro

^^^ This was the general order I put the produce through. Also, in purple, are produce that came prepackaged, which saved me a lot of work.

I really love the taste of green juice. It's not like it is delicious, but the taste is really refreshing and addicting. Again, I'm new to the juicing game- so I'm still playing with quantity of ingredients. I was hoping to get more than 5 oz for all the produce I put into it. I'm sure if I put in a whole lemon or a whole cucumber the volume would increase. Also, I'm a bit disappointed about the efficacy of juicing soft greens- which was sort of the reason why I bought the juicer. I don't want to up the quantity of the greens only to marginally increase the juice contents. I'll play around some more. Celery and cucumber are great to juice with so far.
