You are lucky to have a friend like fotografia101. Such a great influence. I grew up drinking carrot juice, red beet juice or a mix of both due to health reasons I think. I forgot. Now that my mom is a practicing vegetarian, she makes other vegetable/fruit juice mixes such that we have had countless blenders/juicers destroyed because of constant use haha! It's still wise to make your own since you know what you put in what you make.
