KitchenI was lucky enough to get a NutriPro Juicer from Bella for free! I have never owned a juicer, but was thinking about getting one. I always just figured I wouldn’t use it much.
Even though I received a free juicer, all words written are my honest true thoughts.
Anyhow, if you are new to the juicing world, there are two types of juicers out there: centrifugal and masticating (chewing) juicers.
The NutriPro I got is a masticating juicer meaning that it “chews” through the food slowly. This is also known as the “cold press” method which supposedly preserves more enzymes and nutrients. We are not sure exactly how many nutrients are lost in the centrifugal juicers–it may be insignificant.
Overall, I love my juicer, and it is fun to watch it crush foods. Sometimes it gets stuck if you put in a chunk of carrot that is too large. It seems to do about average as far a the yield that it produces. Mr. Cyclist thinks it may be a little low yield.
It is fairly easy to clean and dishwasher safe, and very quiet compared to other juicers I have heard.
This is my standard juice that I make: 3 leaves of kale, half a small cucumber, 2 stalks celery, 1 small-medium apple, 2 lemon slices. Then, I add some wheat grass in between (if I have some ready and grown).
Lemon (the cat) loves wheat grass, too!
You can read more about the NutriPro at my post on Diet-Blog.
Do you have a juicer?
from amazon. They glue to the back of your plates and add a hook for the wall. You can not see the adhesive or the hook, and they are very sturdy.
or mounting squares or strips. These can be used for any plastic plates or very small/lightweight plates you have. 3 squares should hold most of the lightweight plates on the wall. I cut some of the mounts to fit the backs of the plates better.
from a hardware store or amazon, and then get the containers from The Container Store (or online somewhere), and then label them if you like!
