Juicing Question
Hello. :) Question: I have a breville juicer, which I'm in love with. However, I'm having a hard time with the leafy greens like spinach, kale, etc. There doesn't seem to be much juice at all. The juicer has 5 speeds, but neither one seems to be right. Does anyone have any tips for maximizing the juice production from leafy greens? Thanks! :)

That's the kind I have(centrifugal). Always with the bad news eh? =P I should have looked into it more before I bought mine. I stumbled upon this place like a year after though. I just started growing wheat grass. I'll have try the 'wrapping around something' trick. Thanks!

Spinach is one of the BEST greenies to blend ( a la Vitamix), low acidity and not real fibrous with a great taste, especially with a bit of Banana.
As for juicing Kale, stick to stalky, cripy, Curly kale and feed it ONE STALK at a Time by hand - leafy end first to a safe distance from rotary piece.
So, you are holding the end thats nearest to the ground when growing. Then push remainder of the stalk with plunger.
I will, for example,take the blended spinach and water (high speed vitamix) and mix low speed with the juiced kale and apple and lemon and ginger etc. Just play with it, the less you make your juicer slow down in RPM's the higher yield juice on anything, that's why the slow feed, one at a time approach.

That too. I like that one.
Am I doing soft rock right, Suvine?
Hmm... Embarrassing love song. I think I can do that. Maybe.
Oooh! Boston! Is Boston soft rock? I fucking love Boston.
I loaded up at the store, love the way it looked on the counter. Yum.

I do like the Violent Femmes but I think that is too pessimistic. Nihilistic hard driving folk.

I have not used the stuff for years, it gives me heart palpitations.
but when I did use the stuff my 1st choice was liquid (especially the flavored ones they have like toffee)
2nd choice: white, which is more processed, but I can not even stomach ...
Soft rock is soft, not driving rock, but soft gushy love songs, romantic, smooth..stuff you are embarrassed to admit you like.
Stuff that makes you imagine you are swimming with sea horses, or hanging out on a rainbow with your love.
Did you just blend banana and vanilla? I made ice cream with banana and cacao nibs... it was really good.
Yum. I love raw spaghetti so much.
That looks really good. I should make more elaborate desserts, I tend to keep it simple.
This list is awesome!!!
Careless Whisper is one of my favorite songs period.
So is Drive by The Cars
Ooh, and More Than This by Roxy Music.
