I have to say we are now a little disappointed in our juicer. I love the juice but all the wasted pulp, the expense of produce and the amount of juice extracted has caused us to reconsider. It did not juice our spinach, parsley and kale very good at all. My kids (aside from Beaner) did not like the apple carrot juice I made. They loved the carrot juice pancakes but I can do that with purees. We believe if we are going to juice, we need to spend a little more money on a juicer. Since we are not willing to do that at this point in time, I've decided to start making Dr. Oz's drink in the morning. Much easier. Cheaper. Quicker clean up. Here it is.
Ingredients
2 cups spinach
2 cups cucumber
1 head of celery
1/2 inch or teaspoon ginger root
1 bunch parsley
2 apples
Juice of 1 lime
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Directions
Combine all ingredients in a blender. This makes approximately 28-30 ounces, or 3-4 servings.
My menu for next week is almost done so I will post that soon. Anyone else going to give Dr. Oz's drink a try?

While I love you and appreciate your couragesness, there is absolutely no way I would even try a drink made of the ingredients that you suggested! I consider myself to be a healthy person, but ewww!!! I'll be interested to find out how you like it!! Also, you can juice spinach?????
Just made a green drink and aside from the texture, it taste fantastic! Even Gary enjoyed it. We did add some water and ice as warm drinks are not so good. Give it a try! Yes, spinach juices nicely!
