This tastes a bit like a mixed fruit smoothie lol! The flavors I tasted the most were the beet, the lime & the prickly pear. Followed closely by the cantaloupe, strawberries & celery. 

Most of the fruit flavor and sweetness really covers up the green taste of the leafy stuff so it doesn't taste 'like grass' as some might think lol :) If you juice all green stuff, yes, some might think it tastes 'like grass' lol! But even that mix, I find tasty ;-) 

This had the consistancy/texture of a thick juice, not watery like but not as thick as a smoothie or shake. If you have  blender you can actually make both using the pulp and mixing it back with the juice! 

If you're curious about a certain combination of vegetables/fruits juiced, let me know! I'll juice & tell you what it's like =D
