TO JUICE or NOT TO JUICE

[engbulldog]

I just wanted to ask do you guys and gals use a juicer? My wife is all about the Jack LaLanne's power juicer and last night I made a protien shake w/ some of her leftover juice and today you might say you need to have a gas mask on around me!!!! Is there any benifts from the juicer?? cuz in the past i would just use oj in my shakes???

I think juicers can deliver nutrients from foods you might not normally choose to eat because of taste, but for the most part it seems getting rid of the fibrous parts and extracting all the sugars etc from the liquid is the opposite of what some would want to do. When I had one it was not very cost efficient for me, and I was to lazy.

CLEAN UP.............

Mine was great at making tons of juice... and a ton of mess.
Pain in the butt to clean it out too.
BTW that's all the fiber of whatever you put in.
The juice is nutrient rich, but is calorically rich too.
Try apple juice with a little carrot.
All the vegetables are excellent juiced so adding them as a beverage during growth cycles would be good.
Good way to use garden produce overloads.

think I'll get mine out and give it a spin...
