Juice recipe that guarantees energy? (smoothie, supplement, vitamin, low carb)

[h0tmess]

Hey!

So I do have a juicer that I bought last year and I love it. I was getting bored after constant use for many many months. (The clean up is seriously always a pain in the ass )

I dusted this thing off and I'm back to doing this! It always feels nice to get vitamins going through your veins, , but lately I think I want something more. Currently, I wake up and usually juice some carrots, 1 apple, and 1 orange. It tastes great and after a few days, I notice my knuckles turn orange for like 5 minutes.. (LOL)

Anyway, I think I need more veggie, less fruit. I think I am getting too much sugar because eventually I feel like I'm crashing later on. I'm looking for something that's going to be like this huge surge of energy, but it also has to taste somewhat good. I understand taste is very subjective, but still.

This could be interesting. I would absolutely love to hear (er, read) some of your recipes and suggestions!

I had to laugh at this post because I was about to post one almost identical!!! I usually go the carrot+apple+orange route as well and am bored stiff so am also searching for some new ideas.

Carrots actually ARE one of the best for energy, so juicing aside, as you are already getting your carrots, and not feeling energetic enough, you may want to look at adding a Vitamin B complex supplement to your diet.

For different flavour, try juicing some fresh ginger with your carrot!

Now I am waiting for some fresh ideas as well!

I just posted this in another thread so I shall here too as its already in my cut and paste!
I know its a smoothie but still helpful with the veg thing

Just an idea to come up with stuff is look at what certain juices do. Check out the "low carb" list of fruits.
