Juicer

A juicer is a great gadget that enables you to make your own juice at home using fruits and vegetables. Although the first juicers were invented by our ancestors today, we can use juicers as an alternative to purchasing juice at your local grocery stores. The purpose of a juicer is to produce a concentrated blend to drink and by doing so you enhance your immune system.  A juicer produces liquid from fruits and vegetables by cutting the fruits and vegetables into small pieces for extraction. For a juicer to operate it functions using the main components which are: a cutter disc, pulp container, juice container and a motor. 

The juice produced from your juicer can then be used to make your own smoothies if you have either a blender or smoothie maker. A common recipe that I used to make homemade smoothies is as follows:

• 8oz juice
• 4oz frozen fruit
• 2TBS yogurt
• 1tsp hemp seeds
• 1tsp chia seeds
• 1tsp honey
• ice (*ice controls the thickness of your smoothie, more ice means a thicker smoothie)
