I’ve been using the Jack LaLanne Juicer for a few years now. I can’t really say I have many complaints about it. I do wish it were easier to clean! But that’s the price you have to pay for health, I suppose. It’s a lot of work to prepare the veggies and fruits, but it’s a price I’m willing to pay. Considering I’ve lost over 100 pounds (without surgery or pills) and have improved my health dramatically I’d say it’s worth it, wouldn’t you?

This Jack LaLanne Juicer is a real beauty, isn’t it? I think so! I’ve tried a few other brands and have noticed with this one more of the juice is extracted, which results in less pulp. There’s still a lot of pulp but I save that for homemade veggie burgers and muffins so it doesn’t go to waste. (I really do try to stay away from all things processed as often as possible–including veggie burgers, etc.)

I’m a vegetarian so a lot of my meals have come from this beauty. She’s “done me proud!” I’ve enjoyed everything from morning juices that rejuvenate and waken my sleepy body and soothe and fill my tummy to long juice fasts which have been very healing to my body and mind. I’ve loved getting so much use out of this juicer.

One of my favorite morning juices is raw spinach and carrots. Peel and chop 2 – 4 big carrots and throw in a handful of fresh spinach leaves. You’ll have a tasty drink that will send vitamins rushing through your veins! The carrot juice really does make it sweet and very pleasurable to drink. I would choose this raw, juicy combo over soda or a latté any day!

Have you ever made a raw spinach/carrot juice? Did you enjoy it? Could you feel the nutrients charging through your body, energizing you and feeding your body and mind? Do you have a Jack LaLanne Juicer? Have you used it a lot or is it still in the box or cabinet collecting dust? Let us know in the comments. Speak up… you know you want to! Let’s talk about juice…

Here’s to life, health, and healing with (raw) juices!
