Any Juicers?

I'm just curious if anyone does this? I just watched "Fat, Sick, and Almost Dead".

I am not interested in a fast, but I currently drink smoothies and wondered if juicing would be a better route.

Re: Any Juicers?

  • Every morning, I throw a ton of veggies in my vitamix and I drink it while I am on my way to work.

     I don't do it to fast either, I just do it for the veggie nutrients.

  • I like to do a mass juicing every week or so. I do cucumbers, carrots, kale, parsley, spinach,ginger, beets, and anything on sale. I freeze them in ice cube trays and then into baggies.I add them to my morning green monster. I know it's not a 'purist' approach tojuicing, but I really feel like it gives me an extra boost.
  • We haven't done a fast, but we do juice every morning. We love the nutrient value it provides, and we don't eat nearly as many fruits and veggies without it. We do love our juicer, but we'll also be purchasing a Vitamix shortly. You can't preserve juices (because of the oxidation and the fiber removal) but you can with smoothies. I like the idea of being able to pack a green smoothie in my lunch or prepare it the night before so it's ready in the morning. 

    All that to say, we love our juicer and if you're dedicated to using it on a regular basis, you'll probably love it too!
