Mustard greens in my juice why oh why?

I've been trying to get into the juicing habit for some time now.... A few years to be honest. Now that I have a real kitchen (vs the super tiny kitchens of our past condos and apartments), I finally unearthed my Matstone, wiped off the thick layers of dust and started green juicing.

Shoppersville is a great because it has parking and has an organic veg section. So now no more excuses. Romaine Lettuce, carrots, cucumber, celery, bell pepper... Check check check.

I taught my helper how to use the Matstone so that I can't even use laziness as an excuse for not juicing. Yehey, on my way to daily juicing!

My husband goes to work earlier than me. So I gave instructions to our helper on what to put in his juice. He had already finished his glass and left for the office when I went to the kitchen.  When I drank mine, it felt strangely pepper-y. Sure, I know I have a piece of bell pepper in there but I didn't think that small piece imparted THAT much flavor.  That evening, my husband praised my efforts in juicing but asked what the health benefits of black pepper were. Yikes! My helper misunderstood me! Turns out, our juice that day was generously flavored by black pepper.

Today, two weeks into juicing, I realized that mustard greens do not belong in my juice too. I was cleaning out the crisper and found mustard greens grown in our garden. I didn't know what to do with it so I juiced it.

Be warned my friend. I dared my husband to down his glass after I downed mine. But I soon realized I couldn't be that mean. It tasted horrible. Downright horrible. And I have a very high tolerance for odd tastes. And the taste, that horrid spicy overpowering taste kept coming up my throat. Yes, the pepper flavored juice was a walk in the park.

So far, we've been very successful with the ff (good for 2 people):

1/2 cucumber
1/8 bell pepper
long stick of celery
half a romaine lettuce

Now remember, it's better to drink your green juice first thing in the morning while your stomach is empty! We started with a shotglass full each to get used to the taste and to allow our bodies to slowly wake up. Now we're able to drink a glassful easily (pepper and mustard greens aside).  I'm excited to add the red beets I bought from the Sidcor market and the beautiful carrots. Though I'm equally tempted to make a red beet salad and to eat the carrots on the side.
