Ok, folks...my husband and I made a decision start off on this in a smart, economical way. Now many people will tell you you need a nice big fancy machine to do your juicing ... if you're not sure whether juicing is for you or whether you're going to be able to stay with it - I seriously don't recommend looking at a $300, $600, or worse - $2500 juicing machine.
Honestly, your best bet is to start with the Jack LaLanne PowerJuicer option. And its a good idea to order a couple more blade filters to have on hand in case the one that comes with the machine gets dull from tons and tons of juicing, or gets damaged in any way while cleaning in the dishwasher. (they're only $6.99 + shipping online).
Head to Costco - these juicers are $89.99 at any Cosco nationwide. They're easy to use, easy to clean and work great! We've been juicing a ton of stuff since buying it on Sunday!
These juicers even come with their own juicing book, giving you lots of recipes tips on what to juice and what not to juice ... and how to prepare your vegetables and fruits for juicing. In many cases, you can throw your fruits and veggies right in (after washing, of course!) the way they are - as long as they don't have pits in them or hard shells.
Never - and I mean never - try to juice Coconuts, Avocados, or Bananas. These are "non-juicable" foods...BUT you can juice other stuff and throw bananas in a blender together with the juice and make a GREAT smoothie!
Back to topic: get this juicer - take out the contents of the box and immediately read the brief instruction manual and then read the first section of the juice book. Very informative need-to-know info!
It's a great first step, then if this is something you find that you are going to implement into your daily life - then look towards more expensive stainless steel-constructed juicers if that's your inclination...But give this one a shot first - you'll be glad you did.
Sunday, September 1, 2013 - I start day one of my 15 day juicing challenge! All juice, all day, every day! If I do well, I will extend to 30.
