The Right Juicy Kit

There is nothing more important to living a juicy lifestyle than getting the right juicer. Let’s be real, juicing has been seen as a bit of a pain in the proverbial for years. The shopping and chopping of the fruit and veg were always seen as a juicing bugbear, but the biggest juice ‘put me off’ by a mile was always the cleaning.

The good news is that juice extractors have come a long way in the last few years, and technology has now made carrying heavy fruit and veg a breeze; one click of a mouse and a couple of bags of nature’s finest can be at your door within the hour.

When I first started juicing I could never understand why they didn’t make a wide chute so that fruits like apples could go in whole. It seemed like a no-brainer to me, yet all the juicers that were on the market when I started had very tiny chutes. This always meant spending an enormous amount of time cutting up the produce for it to fit into the feeder. Not only that, but all the juicers had small ‘pulp containers’, which meant that after making just one or two small glasses you would have to stop the machine, take it apart and put it back together before continuing. Worst of all, though, was the cleaning. There were so many parts to the average juicer, so many nooks and crannies where the pulp could get caught up in and the machines were so small and fiddly that it just took forever to clean them properly. The words ‘dishwasher safe’ were never found on a juicer as the plastic parts would warp and melt from the heat of the washer.

Despite all of that, the benefits of juicing far outweighed the hassle of making the juice and cleaning the machine – but I did long for the day where juicing would become easy.
