Guest guest Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 We love juice at my house, but we always buy frozen juice. I started wondering the other day about making my own juice. I mentioned it to my dad, and he basicly said that it wouldn't be any better because most of the vitamins are in the peals. What exactly are the health benifits of juicing your own fruits, and how can I convince him of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 A mastication juicer will juice the whole fruit rather than just the meat so you will get the complete benefit of the fruit. However it takes a lot of oranges to make a QT of juice. Jenny Kernan --- Colby <cbhardison wrote: > We love juice at my house, but we always buy frozen > juice.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Why not juice the peels then? I've been dying to get one of those Vita Mix blenders, I saw a guy at costco put a whole cantaloupe in one of those and blend it into a perfectly creamy smoothy and it tasted great. Rind and seeds and all! It was crazy. But its like a thousand dollar blender, so it might be out of your price range like its out of mine. Sadness. I'm seriously considering using my student loans for one though... Colby <cbhardison wrote: We love juice at my house, but we always buy frozen juice.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 We have a Vita Mix and it is a great nutritional tool. I have a nutritional breakfast shake every morning using USANA 's flavored ( vannila, strawberry or chocalate) vitamin powdered mix with soymilk, banana, apple, strawberry or what ever other fruit I might want and add some honey and cinnamon. This is an awsome meal replacement. Actually the Vita Mix is only about $500.00 or less. Scott Jessika Stone <remindersofthen wrote: Why not juice the peels then?

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Dear Colby Frozen juice is probally one of the best ways to get your juice as they freeze it as soon as it is juiced and that keeps the vitamins in-however i think nothing beats doing it yourself-you can go to the markets every sat morn and buy a box or half a box of your favorite fruits and late market day you can buy a whole box of this or that for 5 dollars or less as they don't want to reload and store it. i might add that some fruits ( such as apples can be stored for 9 months or less before going to the markets- ( un believable but true-) don't forget to thoroughly wash all produce to rid it of chemicals-if you make your own you will be sure it is washed and you can choose where it is grown-we must all be aware that some foods are bought in from--- who knows where----- and could be grown in polluted , toxic ground,with chemicals banned in other countries, also check out the article the lady put on with a 40 min film clip with some REALLY IMPORTANT NEWS about what the food controllers are allowing to go on with our food-there were 2 really good articles recently on this site informing us of the truth about our food and how it is being controlled in ways we do not want it too so if you do juice your own start to investigae all about your food and controll what you are being feed...Nothing beats a freshly made fruit juice-yum! If you can't afford a juicer then try the second hand stores, garage sales etcTry and get one with good solid stainless steel fittings-i have had a couple and there are some cheap ones that don't last too long as they have plactic cogs. Enjoy the juicing it can be alot of fun!!!!! Colby <cbhardison wrote: We love juice at my house, but we always buy frozen juice. I started wondering the other day about making my own juice.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 500 bucks might as well be a thousand for me. Still, maybe after new glasses there will be enough of my student loans left over... Nah, I should pay off my computer if I have 500 dollars. Sadness. Scott Dunn <scottydunn54 wrote: We have a Vita Mix and it is a great nutritional tool.
