Top 10 Juices

As we experimented with different juice combinations and largely relied on The Big Book of Juice and Smoothies by Natalie Savona for inspiration, here is a list of our top 10 juices that we found ourselves going back for again and again.  Toss them all in the juice extractor.  It usually makes for two sometimes three depending on preferred serving size.  Just add more or less to suit your needs.

The juices marked with an asterik are extracted from the abovementioned book.
