Tip of the Day: Top two juicer types – which one is right for you. There’s no denying, I am absolutely obsessed with juicing. I’ve been juicing regularly for almost two years now. When I began, I decided on a very basic juicer that was inexpensive, but highly rated (I cannot recall the brand); I highly suggest this because, I didn’t feel financially invested and it enabled me to take baby steps into a lifestyle of juicing. As my knowledge grew, I took the advice of other juice-heads and listened to what others like (another thing I recommend); listen to what others do and don’t like about their juicers, so you can select what will work for you.

There are two main juicer types you will most likely come across: centrifugal juicers and masticating juicers. Centrifugal juice extractors are argueably more common. They opperate via centrifugal force, which utilizes a metal blade that spins very fast against a mesh filter to separate the juice and the pulp of fruit and veggies. Pro- centrifugal juices are quick Con- the fast spinning blade generates heat, which can destroy some of the enzymes in the fruit and vegetables. Masticating or cold-pressed juicers crush then press the fuit and veggies, yielding the highest amount of juice. Pro- they don’t produce as much heat because the blade spins at a lower RPM so enzymes and nutrients remain intact & they can also be used to create nut butters and baby food just to name a few.  Con- they require a more time-consuming prep (cutting foods into smaller pieces) and take a little bit longer to juice.

    Which type of juicer did you graduate to? I started with a masticating, but it was ridiculously hard and time-consuming to clean. I noticed that it was seeping into tiny screw holes, and without dis-assembling the entire unit, I couldn't get it clean. Ended up returning it for a centrifugal one, and I've never looked back! I LOVE it!

    I think you meant masticating, cold-pressed juicers?

    I have a question – do you count the macros for your juice? Because I don't see it on any of your meal plans that I've purchased. Thanks!
