JUICER

Here's my new juicer. It's made by Breville, as you can see from the box. I bought it from Amazon--not quite sure if I necessarily got an awesome deal on it, but I did get free shipping which was nice. We made an apple, carrot and celery juice and, wow! It was 1). delicious 2). the juicer was incredible--fast, and the amount of jucie you got was TONS! The pulp that was left over was pretty much dry! Unbelievable! 3). clean up was a BREEZE! You don't often hear me rave about a product, but this is one of the best purchases I've made in the last couple of years! I bought it on Amazon for $150 and of course, that included the shipping because I'm a Amazon Prime member (for the month, anyway). I'm still debating on whether that's worth $80 a year. We'll see.

Here is a photo of the juice we made:

Yummy! It looks kinda yucky because I drank half of it before I remembered to take a picture. I think next time, I will be pouring it over a glass of ice. I love my juice COLD! If you have a juicer, here's the recipe.

3 apples (I used Gala apples) whole (if the feeding tube is big enough, otherwise cut in half/quarters)
4 large stalks of celery
3 medium carrots

Juice on high--remember, the produce might jump out of the feeding tube, so make sure you have the little pusher ready to cover the hole of the feeding tube. My juicer is pretty powerful at 850w, so it only took about 2 minutes and all we had left was dry pulp and at least 2 cups of juice using only that much fruit/veggies. AMAZING!

If you're in the market for a juicer-I would spend a little more and buy this one. I just can't even believe how easy it is to use and how delicious the juice is. I can't wait to grocery shop next week to get enough produce to make juice every day! :-)
