BUYING A JUICER

With so much information, it can be hard to know what juicer to buy!

Buying a Juicer 

I get so many questions around this topic that I thought it warranted its own blog post, as I understand that buying a juicer is a substantial investment. I promise it is totally worth it! It is an investment in your health, well-being, vitality and beauty! So what juicer to buy? There is an abundance of information out there regarding which juicers to buy or not to buy.

Having read and digested a lot of the information on the subject myself, I can safely say that the moral of the story is that cold-pressed juicers are far superior for the following reasons:

1. Well-suited to juicing leafy greens, grasses, sprouts and herbs
2. Higher juice yield
3. Juice lasts longer with enzyme integrity keeping for up to 72 hours
4. Lower speeds means less heat is generated, preserving more nutrients and enzymes
5. Minimal juice separation and foaming
6. Some models offer other functions, such as making nut milks, nut butters, sorbet and pasta
7. Low noise levels as pressing action is quiet

Though cold-pressed juicers are more expensive than centrifugal juicers, in the long run you will save money, as cold-pressed juicers extract 35% more juice. One of the best cold-pressed masticating juicers on the market is the Hurom.

If you are on a tighter budget, you can opt for this cold-pressed auger juicer like the Matstone 6-in-1, which is what I have and it's fabulous, easy to clean and super versatile, I love it!

After regularly consuming freshly pressed vegetable juices, which are highly alkalising, you will experience improved energy levels, digestion and mental clarity, clearer skin, and an overall sense of wellbeing. See my favourite juice recipes below.
