Being Vegan, we juice several times a week. We would love to juice every day if we had the extra time. We make three batches of veggie juice twice a week. Each person drinks a jar full of juice daily. YUM! We will be adding another batch soon for a few extra people.
We go to the local farmer's market for organic vegetables. They are actually priced the same as the local health food grocery store, but we get a discount for buying bulk! Sometimes the vendors also give me free stuff because I talk with them. What we can't find there we get at the store.
Here is the list we get from farmer's for the juice:
We get the carrots from Costco. They sell a huge bag of Organic carrots pretty cheap. We use the ENTIRE bag.
Trader Joe's and Sprouts has great Romaine hearts, cucumbers and celery.

While you are at the market you should pick up supplies for Home-Made Tabbouleh! YUM!
