LOL, ya the green juice can take some getting used to. I'm not going to lie about that!

But lately I figured out how to doctor it to make it taste better. So now it has dark leafy greens, a cucumber, a bunch of celery, an apple, a piece of ginger, and some lemon.

I actually crave it now, but the craving isn't with my tastebuds it comes from my body wanting it.

Interesting. I take Metformin as well, but don't know if I can say that it's caused the same reaction for me. Not sure what the "green juice" consists of, but if it works for some and they can handle it, more power to them. We all have to find what works for us.
