Recently, I posted this question on Juicing For Health Facebook page and got the following responses.  They're all valid and funny and I thought I should save them.  This list may be useful for you to know what can or cannot mix, but mostly just for fun reading.


What's the worst juice combination you've ever made?

• I added too much lemon and ginger, I can really make anything taste okay


• I just juiced a pomegranate and orange … hmm, not so yummy :/ as far as veggies go I really haven’t found anything that I don’t like


• Anything with fresh garlic, onion and turnip.  I bought what I was told were a bunch of white carrots and added a bunch of them to both my fruit juice pitcher and veggie juice pitcher.  First time ever having to throw it away.  Smelled like sewage and they were not carrots.  Turnips!


• The “V28” recipe from the Reboot Your Life program is undrinkable.  It calls for 12 red radishes – it has to be a mistake!


• Too much turmeric and mustard greens


• I couldn’t have drunk 12 red radishes either!  Arrgghh!


• Garlic kicked my butt, so did an onion


• Although black radish has benefits, I won’t use it anymore to add as a juice … and too much kale can kill a drink … I’d rather eat it!  I guess it’s all about how much you use, isn’t it?


• Kale and radish juice didn’t sit well with me.  Too many radishes :/


• A garlic, onion, radish juice would kill me


• I don’t mind kale at all.  I find lemon takes the bitterness down


• Oh, I found this out this week: collard green, garlic, parsley … with nothing to cut the flavor … not good!!


• I once juiced the stem and leaves of cauliflower. Horrible!


• Skip the ginger, ecckkk!!


• Straight squash


• Kale, turnip and kiwi


• A bit of fresh-tapped coconut water fixes most flavors


• Pomegranate and celery!  It was terrible!


• Too much jalapeno.  I was on fire for hours after that one. Even my fingers were burning from the jalapeno oils.


• Having kale issues, but working out the proportions.  A tart green apple for 2 really helps.  And yummy fresh ginger


• Parsley and kale


• Celery and ginger :( made me feel so sick!


• Too much lemon and ginger, yuk!


• Lol, some funny comments here!


• Anything with turnip greens, yuk!


• Ginger with anything  :/


• Anything with rutabaga or mustard greens.  Especially both in the same drink!


• Once juiced a huge amount of daikon. Undrinkable.


• Added way too much horseradish at the end of making green juice, ruined the whole thing, never again


• Any vegetable juiced with no fruit (i.e. apple is necessary for me to be included in everything)


• Beets with anything!  Lol!  Made it sooo bitter and stained my teeth, lol!!


• Turnip greens and Chinese spinach.  I got the Chinese spinach from the farmers market.  It looked so big, beautiful and healthy!  It came out of the juicer like snot!  Haha!


• I absolutely detest wheatgrass, so anything that includes it is nasty to me.  I once had beet, parsley, spirulina, wheatgrass, carrot, celery and spinach.  I was hugging the toilet …


• I once juiced a head of cabbage with some other things.  I forced the juice down, but all that cabbage ended up hurting my stomach


• Here’s the topper … okra!  Turned the juice into a batch of mucous.  Disgusting!


• Kale and carrots/lemon.  Yuck, taste like a nasty shot!!


• OMG, so funny reading these … I thought it was just me that had problems finding the right mix!  This gives me a LOT of hope!  Thanks all, you made my day!


• This was funny … thanks for sharing!


• Grass and dandelion’s leaf juice.  Disgusting!


• OMG!!  Broccoli itself was terrible!


• The Sunset Blend: sweet potato, bell pepper, beets, carrots and apples.  All I could taste was the bell pepper/beet combination … ugh !!!


• Daikon, apple and carrot.  The daikon was pretty gross mixed in with the sweet flavors.  A friend made it for me at her house and I drank it to be nice, haha.  I know it was good for me though!


• Everything has been great, but once I left the peel on the oranges and it was way over the top!


• V8 recipe with the garlic.  If I include garlic, it’s yuk!


• Celery, fennel, cucumber … these three are terrible in any combination for me!


• Beets and greens … taste like stomach acid.  Blech!


• Onion and garlic with other veggies


• Well, this morning well this morning my partner decided to make us a lovely veggie juice to start the day.  Realized he’d gotten mustard greens at the store by mistake, instead of kale.  We figured oh well.  Made mustard greens, carrots, celery, tomato and bell pepper juice.  And I started drinking it … only to put it down almost immediately.  That was VILE.  Undrinkable! Mustard greens are nothing like kale it turns out.  Nutritionally they’re quite good, but the taste, omg, omg, omg!  My taste buds wanted to jump out and whip me for putting them through that, lol.  Ewww, never again.


• Potato juice … and onion were the worst.


• Wheatgrass.  Taste is strange …


• Banana, blueberries, almond beverage and vanilla yogurt yesterday morning. Bad combination!
