Last summer I decided I wanted to try juicing but I didn't want to pay a lot especially for something I wasn't even sure I would like. I hate eating veggies and fruit I can not lie but I still wanted all the nutrients. So at the end of last summer I went to a garage sale near my house and ended up scoring this one for $5 and it seemed brand new. I had to buy a 'key' to unlock the blade but that was $7. So this juicer was a steal! I've been making juice drinks since last September. I love them because it's so much easier than eating all the required servings of veggies and fruit.
I haven't tinkered with a lot of different produce but I plan on mixing it up once the prices of produce drop.
For this drink I used 1/4 of a pineapple, 1 large apple (I usually use 2 apples because they are small), two handfuls of spinach (I don't use a lot of spinach because it doesn't put out a lot of juice), and one carrot. It tasted mostly like pineapple which I love.
Oh and because I am awesome I forgot to take an actual photo of my juicer but this is the one I scored.Do you do juicing? What are some good 'recipes' that you do?
This was my first scheduled post and yet it didn't post on it's own. Anyone know why?
We have a Jack LaLanne juicer, but didn't score on it like you did! I used it more when we were in AZ and was able to get the fresh oranges and grapefruit so readily available. I haven't tried pineapple and I love pineapple juice. I know juicing is so good for you.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to keep my eye out for a juicer that doesn't kick out so much of the important stuff.
DeleteI wish produce wasn't so expensive :(
I don't mind eating my veggies. I mainly can't stand fruit, that's my real problem. haha.
ReplyDeleteI want to do juicing so bad... just waiting on someone to gift me a juicer so I can get started.
I do prefer fruit over veggies haha
DeleteDo you go to garage sales or thrift stores? You might be able to score one at either of those.
Green Smoothies are amazing! I love them so much. Plus, I can only eat sooo much Kale on my own before needing to drink it in a smoothie. So yummy though, they make me feel amazing! Yours look great!
