Does anyone Juice?

Thanks! I have no weight issues (aside from that I'm really skinny) so I mainly juice for the health benefits. Thanks for the advice tho!! :-)

I have been juicing for years. I have a Champion Juicer, which I love.
Champion Juicer | Plastaket Mfg.

Their customer service is excellent, and the product is amazing. I have juiced just about everything, and my favorites are carrot/apple juice, watermelon/cantaloupe juice, and cucumber, celery,spinach and lemon juice.

Clean up is a snap with this juicer, and you have no waste. When I juice carrots or sweet potatoes, I save the solid part and use it in my home-made treats for Ian.

I've had this juicer for about 10 years and have had no problems with it. The price dropped a little because I paid about $300 for mine.

My first juicer was an Acme Supreme Juicerator...
Acme 6001 Juicer
but I like the Champion Jucier better. It doesn't get off balance when you juice different fruits or veggies, like the centrifugal ones do.

Good luck!!

Which model Breville do you have? We were looking at the $299 one. Can't find it in stores, only the cheap one or the very expensive one.

I'm doing my research and so far I think kitchen aid (yes blender) will do for me.

Are you juicing veggies too or just oranges and fruit. We went to Williams sonoma and they had one for $299 but said its just for oranges and the one for veggies was $399. If they're pushing the more expensive one but yours can do it too, I'm just gonna get the one you have.

We do everything!!! It doesn't get a ton out of spiniach or kale but it works on carrots and fennel and ginger. I just don't think there is much juice in the greens... Or my machine can't get it as well? Everything else juices great! Check out reviews on amazon.com!!

I just read how my post came across and I apologize if I offended you! A lot of times people juice with protein, yogart etc. and can't figure out why they are gaining weight because they are eating and not using as a meal replacement. If you juicing with just fruits and veggies you are totally fine! The recipes I gave you are great for your juices purposes! Juicing is also really great for your digestive tract...and if you like blackberries use them they are a great antioxident. My fiance and I are big juicers. We have done everything from blueprint to jill pettijohn for cleanses to making our own juices at home. I find making juices at home are more cost effective and you can get really creative. Glad you are loving juicing! It is really great for your health!

Thanks so much for double checking.
I LOVE blueberries and I am so glad I've found a way to get more nutrients into my body! My BF and I LOVE juicing!!!!

We like the fiber from the whole raw fruit/veggies, so we "vitamix" -

Fresh: Kale, Spinach, Parsley, Carrot, Celery, apple, orange, banana, 1/4 beet w/tops
frozen: strawberry, blueberry, (fresh/frozen) cranberry

We find that if we don't eat with protein source, we are VERY hungry in the next 30 minutes or so. We frequently have with grilled/baked meat for dinner.

No problem! I think the Brelville ones are definitely the easiest to use & clean! I started juicing with my blender but to get the tougher veggies...the breville works great!
