Arugula has a peppery flavour. It can be viewed a s bitter by some people too. Try spinach or another green as an alternative. Same health benefits but without the distinct flavour.
I put some apple, kiwi and parsley in my juice. It tastes really good and I highly recommend it. But I don’t drink it every day, because it takes time to prepare and unfortunately I don’t have that time every day. Maybe once a week is a great start.
I don’t know the plant actually but I use spirulina and turmeric which also habe specific and stront tastes so I add banana and apple most of the time for some sweet and sour to mask other tastes. You can also try adding oat or rice milk te add creamyness and help to blend and soften the tastes a little more. Hope this helps :)
Google this recipe from the New York Times: Green Smoothie With Pineapple, Arugula, Greens and Cashews. It is great to drink green juice everyday but you need to use recipes to find out what do you like.
I think that cucumber really opens up a lot of possibilities. It has a subtle flavor and offsets more dense vegetables without adding water. Spinach is a staple for me. Frozen beet cubes is my secret ingredient.
Maybe banana or strawberries? My opinion is that a veggie or fruit juice a few times a week is fine but i think it is better to eat veggies and fruit as a whole
I have not tried arugula, but I suspect it would be bitter. I find spinach grinds up really well in a smoothie and doesn’t have much of a taste. I have also used kale (smaller tender pieces) and Swiss chard. My favourite smoothie is tropical (banana /mango /pineapple) with spinach, lactose free yogurt, coconut milk, and flax seed meal.
If I were you I wouldn’t add any sugar or unhealthy ingredients. I would probably put banana, mango, or pineapple in it .
Arugula is pretty bitter. It’s great in a salad but probably not very tasty in a drink. I would try spinach instead. It blends fairly easily and has a mild taste.
For my green juice, I use 1/2 cup of Kale, 1/4 cup of carrots, 1/4 cup of strawberries, 1/4 cup of blueberries, 1 banana, apple juice, almond milk and water. Blend and enjoy :)
