To the Juicers here: What type of juicer would you recommend? I had one a couple yrs ago and it broke the third time I used it. So I want something sturdy. Does "masticating" make that much of a difference? I would be doing both vegetables and fruits, incl hard vegetables like beets. Would like not to spend too much -- not over $250 if possible. Less if I can get away with it w/o compromising necessary features. What are y'all using? (Where's scrills?)

My other juicer is a Breville. I like it, but its hard to clean.
As for masticating vs centrifugal, you can tell the difference, but it wasn't enough for me to able to justify the cost difference. I think my breville was about $150 and I used coupons
1) get more juice from your fruit
2) more nutrients
3) easier cleanup
How'd you do that 😳

I have a Breville juicer too. Also bought it for $150. I'm new to juicing but I've used it at least seven times without any issues. I find cleaning more tedious than difficult. I take apart the juicer and rinse off parts before I begin drinking my juice. I do need to get a scrub brush like one used for baby bottles to help with cleaning the mesh strainer.
Leafy greens are hard to juice with a centrifugal juicer but everything else is a cinch. A masticating juicer is just too expensive for me.

Every person has a unique connection to the Creator that can never be extinguished, and every person has a great soul that can manifest important things in our world. To make a person feel less than they are because of something inside themselves, be it faith, race, or sexual orientation, is the greatest sin of all."
Half a Pink Lady apple, one kiwifruit, an entire bag of baby spinach leaves and a little lump of ginger.
(This isn't my juice. I didn't take any pics but felt my post needed a pic to convey my enthusiasm. :tongue5:)
Fresh OJ is the bomb IMO (even w/spinach added

So far, so good! I am loving it! I actually daydream about and crave green juice! Why don't more ppl like it?
I'll try the OJ! (But I'm really more of a grapefruit girl...have to try that, too)
Juicer hack: if you aren't satisfied w/ the amount of green juice your juicer is outputting, just add a cucumber or two. They are very juicy, somewhat nutritious and the flavor complements and blends in well w/ other veggies.
Good news is since I've gotten the juicer, I've had coffee only once. Only ONCE??? in five days??? :thumright: (Not saying coffee is bad but I drink it w/ a crapload of heavy cream and sucralose.)
:occasion5:
And oh yea, fresh squeezed OJ is the best. I've been spoiled with it. I just buy it individually now if I'm craving OJ in the morning. If I buy OJ for home, its the Natalies brand which is decent. I cant drink tropicana and all that crap.
I want to minimize my fruit intake at first bc my body is not used to so many carbs. I need to ease into the fruit. But a good solution to the lack of juice problem is adding the cucumbers! Low in carbs and juicy! Flavor blends well w/ other green ingredients.
I love fruit but just can't OD on that yet or I'm afraid I will spike my insulin.
eta - Plus, I don't think it's a good idea to mix too much fruit w/ other foods. It ferments and causes gas.
my cousin had a jack lelane (sp?) juicer forever, and then recently got a nutribullet rx extractor and likes it alot--
with my budget being what it is right now, i have been faux juicing for the past year or so with good results...
-- i prep fresh veggies and fruits by dicing them an measuring the desired amounts into little ziplock baggies and freeze them, them for 2days up to 2months and plop them in my 'Blender' with a mix of water and 100% organic juice only - pineapple juice or apple (adjusted to taste) ...
and voila depending upon how much liquid i add, i either have
a slurpee-like smoothie or a classic v-8 style juice-smoothie... :thumright:
or Liquid African Black Soap (only 4-ingredients ; awesome!)
Co-Wash: Aubrey Organics or Suave Condish
Condish: Aubrey Organics or Onion Mask or Yogurt
DT: Honey + Olive Oil + AO Condish or Yogurt mix
