Re: re. Manual Healthy Juicer

[Guest guest]

Thanks.

I'm mostly looking to do wheatgrass juice. I don't mind it but

don't like to add it to my smoothies. It makes them too bitter.

Yes, I have it and I like it a lot. It does greens

and wheatgrass beautifully. I usually make my juice from

a combination of greens (collards, kale, dandelion

greens, romaine, bok choy, spinach, etc.) - 2-3 from

what I have on hand, cucumber, celery, slice of ginger,

one lime (or lemon if lime is not available, but I have

my own trees, so not a supply problem), and sprouts. If

I have wheatgrass on hand, then I'll add that to the

mix. It is a sturdy little juicer and doesn't take much

to turn the crank. Be sure that the suction has securely

fastened the juicer to your surface, and for additional

security, I always hold it so that if it should loosen

abruptly, I have a chance to save it. It assembles and

disassembles quickly and easily (be sure you don't lose

the O-ring!) and cleans up easily as well. For the

money, I think it's a fine little juicer.

My husband gifted me with a Breville Fountain Compact

at Christmas, and I like it too, but it's not that good

with greens, so I plan to keep the Healthy Juicer for

that purpose and use the Breville for carrots and other

items that are a bit much for the manual juicer unless

cut very finely. The Breville is also very easy to use

and clean.

If you have any questions, I'll try to answer them.

HTH!
