JUICERS

Michael Talks Juicers

So, you are looking for a wheatgrass / green juicer now? Ok, then read below to understand the reason for buying a single auger juicer. Read what juicers will work best and what juicers will not work at all. A blender is NOT a juicer... in many ways, it is a microwave and will scramble up the energy of your foods if you leave it on for more than one minute. However, if you pulse for a second or two, it is a good way to chop "chew" up your meal, fast. If you want to start juicing today, then purchase a 'masticating' (or chewing) juicer. Also, the best advice I can give to anyone that wants to do a juice "fast" (now called 'feast') would be DON'T TELL ANYONE THAT YOU ARE DOING IT!!! Trust me. If you want to do one day, 3 days or 10 days of just green juicing (and colon cleansing), then just do it, but don't tell anyone else about it. It will be much better for your mental health if you keep it to yourself. And it will be easier too. If anyone asks you out to eat during your juicing time, just tell them you already ate, but you would still love to come along, drink water with lemon. You can also say that you have plans to eat later. Lastly, if you don't have anyone that will listen, you can email me about it and I will listen without judgement. Always and anytime...

Manual Lexen Healthy Juicer

FIRST CHOICE: The Manual Healthy Juicer (a must own for everyone, photo on right)

After juicing over 200 ounces of wheatgrass with the same hand powered Healthy Juicer in two days, the Lexen Manual Healthy Juicer is #1 on my juicer list**! This juicer is the perfect starting place and works better than any other machine available. It will do all your leafy greens as well. It will also do cucumber, celery and other sprouts & soft fruits. Great to have, just in case the power goes out or you can also travel with it... very light weight, only 4 pounds and it is a manual juicer, so the motor will never go bad!!

**Please note: The first time I personally used this juicer, I wanted to throw it out the window. However, by the third time, I was able to juice 1 ounce per minute and it actually did a better job then my $1,500.00 stainless steel model! Yes, it looks like a toy, but works like a CHAMP! Please watch the FREE QuickTime movie before using this juicer. It will help, trust me! Outside of the U.S., visit http://www.ukjuicers.com/

SECOND CHOICE: The Omega 8004 - 8006 -electric single auger juicer (or the Samson) *see photo just below

There are many types of juicers that claim they will juice wheatgrass, but they do not. The Champion Juicer is a wonderful machine, but, does not juice wheatgrass. The Vita Mix is the best blender on the market (BLENDER not juicer), but, does not juice wheatgrass. The Jack Lalane, Jay the Juice Man Juicers, The Omega Centrificul cutter... all do not juice wheatgrass. The Norwalk juicer (best hydrolic press machine on the planet) will NOT juice wheatgrass. Please don't get me wrong, all these machine will juice the grass, but you will not get the same amount of juice per pound of wheatgrass or the same quality of juice as you would from a single auger juicer. I suggest a single auger machine for juicing wheatgrass. The "auger" will look like the end of a screw, similar to a drill bit. These single auger juicers at geared slow for low foam and longer lasting juice, this machine will do both wheatgrass & sprouts and most everything else that is green. The will also make your favorite, FROZEN BANANA ICE CREAM!!!

SAMSON

OMEGA 8006

Even kids LOVE the Healthy Juicer!!

TWIN GEAR juicers are not as efficient as the single auger machines when juicing wheatgrass only. They will work, however you will get "foam" and will not get as many ounces from the grass. The twin gears "cut" the grass into little pieces before juicing allowing more places to oxidize, hence the foam. The very best twin gear juicer is the Super Angel Stainless Steel Juicer. *IF YOU ARE A RAW FOOD CHEF, OR YOU LOVE TO PREPARE RAW FOODS EVERYDAY, THEN THE TWIN GEAR JUICER IS FOR YOU! In my past 21 years talking to thousands of people, the only people that actually LOVE their twin gear juicer are the people that LOVE to make / prepare raw foods of all kind on a daily basis. They are twice the money as a single auger juicer and much harder (more parts) to take apart and clean. They also are good juicer for all other vegies, sprouts, etc... The single auger machine (Manual Lexen Healthy Juicer, Omega 8006, Samson), will "wring" the entire blade of grass out like a wet towel, NO FOAM. The Manual Healthy Juicer is always a good buy, for many reasons and the price is right. It will take a bit of getting used to, but does the job.

If you are looking for a commercial wheatgrass juicer, for the juice bars or health food stores, the MJ 575 Miracle all stainless steel juicer is one of the best for your money, or the Opti-Fresh stainless steel wheatgrass juicer (which Hippocrates and Optimum Health Institute's both use). The best juicers for Health Food Stores / Juice Bars are available NOW in my webstore.
