Juicing

I'm considering getting a juicer for the holidays. How do you all feel about juicing? I have generally preferred blended drinks that include the fiber but have been reading more lately about the benefits of juicing. If you do love juicing do you have a juicer you can recommend?

    I recommend the Champion Juicer. It's pricey but it's a great product! It's made in america, and not only does it juice, but it can make sorbet out of frozen fruit, nut butters, and nut milks.

    Jack LaLanne Juicer works pretty good, at least that's what I have. I remember I went through a juicing phase when I first got it, but then got bored and was tired of cleaning it all the time (so many pieces!). I would recommend finding a juicer that makes cleaning easy.

    Omega vert 350 is very easy to clean, a prime consideration when juicing. I juice a bit, not full throttle. Mainly carrot spinach cucumber juices as an addition, not substitute to other veggies. It is a way to get more veggies if you don't always feel like cooking.

    Thanks! This is interesting Dr. Mercola on the benefits of juicing which I was curious about
