Converting juicing recipes for blending

Gnarly

Greetings from a new member:

 

I've been juicing for a while, but recently bought a Bullet-type blender (Nutri Ninja). I find virtually all of the recipes made for these blenders are excessively complex, involving too many oddball vegetables and fruits and spices. I prefer to keep my recipes simple, and not to have to stock the fridge with too many different things. I live alone, and if I do that, half of them go off before I use them. I have many juice recipes that do this for me, basic simple recipes that are tasty, that's all I want, I don't need the choices you'd get at a juice bar.

Is there any easy way to convert juicing recipes for blending? I plan to experiment with this, and I'm sure eventually I can find a way that works, but I'd appreciate any advice.

Thanks and regards,

Paul H

Hi Claire:

Thanks for your note, and that is good advice. I plan mainly to juice veggies, with a few fruits. Adding extra water is a great idea, and I think if I err on the side of too much water to start, that will be OK, and I'll then learn to cut back the amount if necessary.

Regards,

Paul
