Fresh Fruit Juice

The holidays are over and I'm exhausted.  I had both my kids home with their husband, girlfriend and dogs.  My neighbors must think I'm nuts because we had six dogs in the house.  My son has two 8 month old rottweiler/German shepherd puppies and my daughter has an adult mastiff mix. It's a really good thing I have a large fenced-in backyard.  I'm not complaining, it was definitely a lot of fun.
My Mother gave me a juicer for Christmas and I've been trying it out over the holiday break.  I didn't get a chance to cook many vegetarian dishes as all of my guests are meat eaters but everyone likes fresh juice.  I've been juicing whatever I have in the fridge and so far it all tastes very good.  I've been keeping to carrots, apples, oranges, grapefruits, pineapples and clementines.  I want to try something with beets in it but just haven't had the time.  
Oranges, Clementines, Apples and Carrots
All of the fruit made this huge pitcher of juice.  The carrots add a nice orange color .

  1. Is the juice thick?

  2. It's not thick because all the pulp is removed so it's the consistency of water but with a ton of flavor. The addition of carrots to the citrus adds a nice color otherwise it's just kind of a pale orange color.
