Juicers are not only for healthy injections of wheatgrass and high green juices. The latest designs can evoke so much more with fresh smoothies, sorbets and nut milks all just a step away. A good juicer can make delicious cocktails, mocktails and cold yogurts, as well as healthy baby food for weaning toddlers.
Sure, it may be easier to buy juice at the supermarket, but making your own juice from scratch is much more satisfying, we say, without added sugar or preservatives to dull the flavor. You’ll need to prepare correctly to get the best performance from the juicer – chopping and washing fruits and vegetables so they fit perfectly in the feed chute and choosing the right mesh filter for the task at hand – but the end result will be a delicious drink in hand. definitely worth the graft. And once you master the art of juicing, there will be no turning back. A cold fruit juice for breakfast can taste much more nutritious than a carton of juice, while a freshly squeezed pomegranate daiquiri at sunset will be the talk of your dinner.

We’ve used these juicers to grind whole fruits like apples and pears into pulp, squeeze the goodness out of leafy greens like kale, and tackle fibrous veggies like celery and broccoli. We’ve noticed how easy they are to use and clean and how effective they are at extracting every last drop of juice.
