In today's juice, the strongest flavors were definitely the lemon and the beet, followed closely by the greens (the celery, spinach, parsley, cilantro tend to just take an overall 'green' flavor when combined), then the cucumber and the sweetness of the strawberries. 

When you use just a small sliver of ginger root like I do, you don't taste it a whole lot. There may be a bit of bite from it but it won't over power it. It's really a nice way to get an awful lot of good minerals and vitamins!!
