Anyone JUICE?

[krunchbubble]

Anyone owned/used multiple juicers and have any recommendations? I'd like to be able to juice harder to juice items like wheat grass and kale but I'm still unsure how objective all the review sites are so I'm not sure which to get.

cant go wrong with Amazon's reviews for picking one out....

^^sounds like a great juicer. how many different juicing strengths?
some rip off juicers just have on/off,can't juice correctly with one speed.

That question had me off and searching the intrawebz and I found this

This juicer takes up a good deal of counter space, and at 25 pounds, it's a chore to put away. The cutting shaft must be lubricated between uses. The Champion's high RPM speed creates friction, heating juice and destroying nutrients. Even reviewers who like this machine say it doesn't do a very good job with leafy greens, and it's not recommended for wheatgrass juicing.

^^if can't take wheatgrass it certainly won't take the canna leaves. there is a Breville just under 500$US that can handle the very stringy low moisture veg.

juices are great

went "experimental" once and did this:

2 kiwifruits
avocado
variable amount of soymilk or similar, depending how thick or running you want it to be

Avocados and bananas aren't juiceable so I hope you fellas mean you're blending them with fresh juice

juice is best using a press

Mj445 Miracle wheat grass juicer. It is an ideal entry level wheatgrass juicer. I've had mine for over 4 years and still works perfectly. You can easily juice cannabis and lemongrass leaves.-- thanks for the idea for fan leaves.
The ultimate Rolls Royce of juicer is a hydraulic press called the Norwalk, like Sam alluded. Supposed to get stuff out that normal juicers can't get to.
A great juicing book is by Norman Walker called "fresh vegetable and fruit juices"

I juice bananas all the time, peel and all.

you got to put the banana first, then something with a lot of water content like an apple. try it some time, it's almost like a smoothie

2 lbs carrots
2 sticks celery
2 apples
1 pear
ginger root
handful of spinach
10 grams of fresh bud and 15 fan leafs

Makes 1 liter.

Extra bonus for using purple strains, juice looks like grape koolaide.


Single auger juicer (Omega 8005)

Mango is supposed to enhance duration if eaten before or strength of effect if consumed during.

might have that backwards, already medicated this morning.....

A Vita Mixer is a blender. I have one of those too in addition to a Champion juicer, Acme juicer and an electric wheatgrass juicer but can't remember the brand offhand. Also have a hand crank wheatgrass juicer. Try juicing some wild herbs/weeds like miners lettuce, chickweed, nettles, plantain, etc. POTENT stuff...yikes!

Vitamixers rock though. When trying to make pesto the first time ran it too long and turned into steaming hot soup lol.

Looks like a commercial grade blender.

alot of different fruit raises levels of serotonin and dopamine levels in the brain,, a natural high,, pineapple and bananas are notable easily accessible examples,,

but also mangos,papaya,sharon fruit,pomegranates,kiwi,passion fruit etc also increase levels of neurotransmitters which seem like they act synergistically with cannabinoids increasing the high and its duration, but in actual fact its more that being high just makes it seems more fun having extra dopamine/serotonin in the brain,,

pineapple, carrot, apple and ginger juice for breakfast....

damn tasty!
