" Do you own a juicer? I have for years, but I alternate between using it all the time (and giving infomercial-style demonstrations while juicing to anyone who happens to be in my kitchen--including the dog), to letting it collect dust. Now, I&amp;#x27;m back on a juice kick...**** We talked about detoxing last week, and the detox plan that Gwyneth is raving about (see this Shape Up post about detoxing). A big part of most cleanse or detox diets is juicing. But I&amp;#x27;m not detoxing, I just think that fresh-pressed juice is such an awesome way to start the day. When I have time--and the kids aren&amp;#x27;t screaming and I&amp;#x27;m not on deadline--I like to start the morning with a juice, which usually consists of whatever random fruits and veggies I have on hand. Some of my favorite juice combos are carrot-apple-lime-ginger or strawberry-apple-orange. I&amp;#x27;ve had a lot of flops, though. For example, as much as I want to love spinach or other greens in the juicer, I just can&amp;#x27;t get into them. Here are a few more of my juicing flubs: *Even though some health nuts say it&amp;#x27;s great for you, the rinds of lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruit taste awful juiced. Trust me on this one. *Don&amp;#x27;t toss a whole plum in--the pit will nearly destroy your machine ... oops! *Bananas? Not so much. Do you juice? How often? What is your favorite combo? And what type of juicer do you have? I have a Jack Lalanne (you know, the old dude with huge muscles). Get Glamour Wherever You Go! Follow us on Twitter.
