By John Chan

There are free juicer recipes all over the internet as well as books available written by health nuts for want to be health nuts like yourself.

Fruit juice can be easy because the sugar makes it delicious for even the most spoiled palates. But others, mostly vegetables, may take a bit of getting use to the taste. When starting out for the first time, it is a good idea to take it easy and experiment with ingredients you are most familiar with.

Carrots are used in most common vegetable juicing recipes. Since they are on the sweeter side, it makes a great base for juices that include less typically tasteful greens. The next best step, while sticking to the carrot base, is to add celery, beetroot and cucumber.

When preparing the ingredients for this recipe remove the green part of the carrot and peel the orange while trying to leave as much of the white skin as possible.

It is important that you don't get stuck with just the sweet juices and try to introduce yourself to vegetables as soon as possible. Fruits are high in sugar as well root vegetables like carrots and beets. Vegetables have key nutrients that fruits don't and the basic rule is to mix and match as wide a variety as possible.
