For juicing: cucumber, apple, celery, lemon optional. Can add juice to smoothies or drink as is with wheatgrass juice, sprouts.

Super sweet energy juice---carrots, beets, sweet red pepper. I use about 6 carrots to 1 1/2 beets and then 1/2 pepper. But experiment to taste--I've also added kale, spinach, celery, cukes.

Smoothies: any combination apple juice, orange juice, bananas, mangos, avocado, pineapple, yogurt (a little), protein powder. Add coconut or almond milk if you want. Add kale, collard, sprouts, wheatgrass and/or spinach for green smoothies.

I have an old juicer that can't handle wheatgrass or anything with stringy stems. So sometimes I make juice in the juicer and then add the grasses/leaves with the juice in the blender.

Basically you can make juices and smoothies with anything in season, fresh, and preferably 100% organic.
