It all started with Ralph eating raw celery with mayonnaise, his favorite way to eat celery. No matter how good celery is, I'll never eat them. I just can't stand the taste of celery! I know it's a great vegetable but I can't understand how anyone can like the taste of it.
I don't eat a great variety of greens every day, and tend to avoid some of the best greens. Oh, and I don't eat green pepper at all too! 
Ralph tried to get me to drink green juices, which was a challenge, and so he had to get creative... to make sure I'm getting plenty of greens as juicing helps me consume more vegetables than I could eat on most days.
Green Ingredients: celery stalks, cucumber, bitter gourds, green apples and great hog plums.
He used great hog plum as a substitute for green pepper. 
Add the chopped fruits and vegetables to the blender (we don't have a juicer), along with a small amount of water.
Then, he strained the juice through a fine strainer and used a large spoon to mash the pulp and push the juice through the strainer's meshing.
So, I sipped slowly trying to figure out what it tasted like. The green juice was unbearable the first sip I had it! Green apples and cucumber neutralized the bitterness of bitter gourds but all I could taste was celery!? 
Maybe he just needs to use a little bit of celery and then drown it in other fruits and vegetables. 
I forced it down but even though I knew it was great for me, I just couldn't force myself to drink this 5-green juice anymore.

hahahah.... i could only imagine what it taste like Mon but since I happened to like celery.. i think i might enjoy it.. heheh.. so nice of R to actually try to make you take your greens..hehe
heya! oppps missed the chop haha
oh I have tried the Bitter gourd Juice not with Cucumber and celery though
actually the juice was made for my auntie who has a diabetes... It's more like a natural supplement for her and she used to drink such juice everyday
as for the taste....uhmmm... i has never been good hahaha.. It tastes awful yet I know how healthy it is and how much benefit you can get from it in return hehe
haha so will you dare try it again Mon?
=-X =-X =-X =-X
I was sleeping la! Just woke up... =-X =-X =-X
I like all the greens u mentioned as vege... not as a drink.... =-X =-X =-X =-X =-X =-X =-X
Btw I like celery, ask R to eat celery with peanut butter ha ha.... used to eat it like that zaman dulu when living in US, nowadays hardly eat celery also unless in restos/hotels etc... :* :* :* :*
Hahahaha wow!! That's definitely as GREEN as it gets! I've had all of them separately as juices before.. but never together. I wonder how that would taste like. Except for the hog plums? How do they taste like? Don't think I've ever had them before.
But I have drank bitter gourd juice religiously before.. remember that "mysterious disease" I had? I did all I could to get rid of it.. so I also blend (we don't have a juicer) but I was told to drink it "unstrained". Yucky lah the pulp.. so bitter.. the taste itself is okay.. the aftertaste is the worst.. like whatever you eat/drink afterwards doesn't get rid of that taste.
If you keep doing this, though, everyone will be GREEN with envy at your hair and complexion!! :) :) 8-) 8-)
=-O =-O =-O =-O =-O

Hello Monica.
Yayks! 5-Green Juice? Sounds awful. I understand why you find it yuck yuck *DONT_KNOW*
Since the day I began my journey in culinary school, I started eating vegetables but I am still picky. There are still lots that will take time for me to love and there will be many that I will never love at all :)
You take care and have a great week ahead! Hugs!
