Types of Juicers - Recommendations
If you're eating more raw foods and making that important lifestyle change, at some point you'll need and want to consider investing in a
juicer. A blender is NOT the same thing.
To get all the benefits of juicing fruits and vegetables, you need to be able to process every part of the food seeds, stems, peels and pulp.
That's where all the vitamins are.
A blender just cant do that effectively.
A juicer will extract all the nutrients from fruit or vegetable that not even your stomach can adequately do. Juicers routinely used to cost
$300-$400 and more. The best ones still do, but if you're just getting into juicing, there are less expensive styles on the market as well.
Here are a few you can research to find the best one for you. Natural food stores and cooking catalogues like Williams-Sonoma also carry
juicers.
Here are some reasonably priced juicers to consider.
Omega Model 9000
www.omegajuicers.com
Makes good, virtually pulp-free juice.
Its a high-yield juicer but not good for juicing leafy greens. This juicer will not process wheatgrass. Price $219
Commercial Champion
www.championjuicer.com
Better juice quality, pulpy with good nutritional value. Also a multi-purpose machine that grates and churns and can make nut butters. A good
heavy-duty juicer, high volume, good for families. Does not process wheatgrass. Price $259
Solo Star II
www.solostarjuicers.com
Creates a pulpy juice, but very high nutrient value because the motor is a lower RPM. This is a multi-purpose machine that can grate, churn,
make nut butters and extrude pasta. It can process wheatgrass. Price $249
Green Star GP-E1503 "Green Power Gold"
www.greenstar.com/gold.asp
A premium juicer, although a more complicated machine with more parts that need to be cleaned. Creates the least pulp with more nutrients. It
is a Twin Screw Press type of juicer that is superior to masticating or centrifugal juicers. It will process wheatgrass. Also a
multi-purpose machine. Pricey, but may be well worth it. Price $599
Note from Wayne: Uri products incorporate an abundance of live, organic raw foods into their superfoods
whole-foods drinks line. I encourage you to give them a try ... especially "The Feast". The Feast is rich with many nutrient-dense
live whole foods. Even the hard-core red meat eater can drink this, and truly enjoy it. The Feast actually tastes good which
is extremely rare for a "green" drink superfood. I hope you enjoyed this article here at www.green-drinks.com.
