Re: Buying a Champion or Omega juicer in Canada

[Guest guest]

Still haven't figured out the best place to buy one, but looking at a

review from Mercola

http://www.mercola.com/article/juicer_comp.htm

I think that the Omega is the better machine. I see I can buy one

online from Omega for $259 US. I've e-mailed them for info on a local

retailer.

But if anyone knows of a Canadian mail-order company that sells them,

please post the info.

That was my choice and I am so pleased. I got the Omega 8002. There are newer

Omega

models. There are also cheaper juicers in other brands that only make juice but

the

Omega can do those other things. When you amortize the yearly difference between

the

two types and realize you have the machine for years, the difference in price is

negligible.

My favorite confection (advanced on the food progression chart) is Pecan

Truffle. I feed

pitted Medjool dates and pecan pieces into the blank cone and out comes a tube

of stiff

puree. I add a touch of honey and roll the mixture into balls which can be

dredged in

unsweetened finely ground coconut.

Using the same tube, feed in any frozen fresh or legal canned fruit and what

comes out

makes a rich creamy sherbet. You can add honey or yogurt to it but if Kosher or

dairy

free, don't even need to do that. When I occasionally cut back on calories I am

tempted to

sell my juicer and then realize how useful it is and of course just doing that

fruit sherbet is

the same as having a piece of fruit.
