I have an omega and I love the thing. Before I bought it, I watched comparison

videos made by the guy at discountjuicers.com

He is excellent and I highly recommend those videos. Just search for

discountjuicers on YouTube

A lot depends on what you are willing to pay for one. I also have a VM and use

it regularly. My husband makes green smoothies and fruit smoothies with it every

day.

 

I've recently begun juicing my greens. I didn't have the funds necessary to

purchase one of the high-end juicers and wasn't sure I was even going to want to

continue juicing enough to warrant having one. So I opted for the manual Healthy

Juicer (less than $50). I really like it, although it obviously doesn't get all

the juice from the product (the waste remains somewhat wet). But I get a

full 8-9 oz of juice from one or two kale leaves, a couple stalks of celery,

half a large cuke, a small slice of gingerroot, one small lime or 1/2 lemon, and

perhaps a leaf or two of chard or collards, romaine, dandelion leaves, lamb's

quarters, spinach, etc. Maybe a handful of leafy sprouts (sprouted lentils,

beans, etc. don't really get juiced - they just kind of pass through unscathed).

I usually add some dulse for flavor and minerals.

 

This is a very easy-to-clean juicer. It's made of lexan (hard plastic) and goes

together and comes apart easily and is small enough to be easily portable,

should you need that feature. Look up www.sproutpeople.org, click on " juicers "

under " sprouting supplies " in the left side box, and click on Healthy Juicer -

it also is available in an electric version for more money. I find it easy to

use the manual version. The crank turns easily and I just reverse it a little if

the cranking becomes tight.

 

I think it's worth a look!

, I forgot to mention that the Healthy Juicer is a masticating juicer and

it also does wheatgrass beautifully. The only thing I sometimes have difficulty

with is the stalks of chard, which tend to wrap around the auger. I'm sure if I

cut them up before putting them in the hopper, I'd have better results. I tend

to put the whole leaf in by feeding it stalk-end first. Probably not the best or

most efficient way to do it!

Peggy,

I've found that you really do have to " learn " how to use the Healthy Juicer.

You have to work it both forward and backward. I actually seem to get more

juice when I reverse it and it pushes both the fiber and the juice back to the

spout.

Also, I re-process what comes out the end if it seems like it's too wet. Just

take the " string " of fiber and put it back in and crank away. I get very good

output from my wheatgrass that way.

Peace,

Hi ,

 

Yes, I've learned the tricks to its use, too. I also find that the juice (and

some fiber) increase with the backward movement of the crank. Before I ordered

this, I read the Amazon reviews and almost didn't order it because some

reviewers were talking about how flimsy the machine was and how it broke with

the first use. I don't know what those people were trying to process, but the

first time the crank became difficult to turn, I just reversed it and all was

fine. It feels quite sturdy to me. I think a person would certainly know when

another big tight crank might break the unit.

 

I've also tried re-juicing the waste when it's very wet. Sounds like you've

learned the tricks of the trade for sure! Do you juice your leafy sprouts? I

plan to try this today as I have some brand new alfalfa that's looking so yummy.

I haven't tried doing the sprouts alone - only with greens, so I'm not sure how

much juice I will get from them. It will be interesting to see. Whatever

happens, though, I will always add my lemon or lime and ginger. Those are two

ingredients I never leave out.

 

Thanks for this info!

Yeah, that's what I meant - I read the reviews too and you can't " fight " the

machine. Sorry - I didn't mean YOU needed to learn how to use it, I meant " you "

in the " global " sense.

Right now, the only juice I'm doing is wheatgrass. Sprouts I like to eat for

the " crunch " factor in salads or to throw into stir-fry. I've eaten more

sprouts since I joined this group last month than I have in my entire life up to

this point I think! ;-)

Tonight I had a salad of baby greens from my planter boxes, with croutons from

bread that I made, the carrot, ginger and orange soup from the VM cookbook and a

radish tart that I found a recipe for. Pretty nice dinner.

Before I b ought the Omega, I actually had a new Healthy Juicer which I thought

and still think is fantastic.

I didn't keep it because of the other things the omega does (like make raw

banana ice cream)

But for $50, it is an incredible deal and solid machine. 

Definitely take a look at all types and think about what you want to juice. You

will be improving your health with what ever you choose.

, don't worry about " what you meant " - I understood you perfectly. Perhaps

my reply wasn't stated as well as it could have been.

I'm with you - I love crunch, but I'm starting to juice some sprouts too as I

love that real energy boost from all that liquid green!

 

I was making some green juice tonight and managed to dislodge the juicer so that

all the juice spilled all over the floor and I lost all those lovely vitamins.

Had to start over. I hate to waste the sprouts, especially. This is the second

time this has happened to me. I think I'll start using the mechanical clamp as

well as the suction. The suction works very well on my granite countertop, but I

think something about how I turn the crank gets things messed up once in awhile.

I'm not very tall. I wonder if that affects the torque somehow?? I'll just need

to be more careful. It was my own fault for trying to push it just a bit farther

than it wanted to go. (And was I not just saying earlier that people should be

able to feel when it's working hard enough? DUH!) I actually did feel the

resistance, but I was trying to watch TV at the same time and my concentration

was divided. Oh well...I did make another juice, but my dinner wasn't nearly as

wonderful as

yours sounds!

 

Do you have any trouble with wee beasties eating your greens? I tried collards

last year and every morning they were full of holes. I never did see what was

eating them. I just bought some Earth-Tone insecticidal soap for organic

gardening that can be used up to day of harvest. This year I have some heirloom

seeds of arugula, Siberian kale, English breakfast radish, lemon cucumber,

Chioggia beet, and Chantenay carrot, and also wild organic Orach spinach

(purple), and cherry tomatoes. I have two available Earth boxes and have

ordered 2 of the City Pickers from Home Depot. That will be my outdoor garden. I

got some soil containing compost and worm castings to mix with the Black Magic

garden soil, so I'm hoping for good results. I may also add some rock dust for

added minerals.  

Since I'll have radishes (I don't get the name, really - radishes for

BREAKFAST?), I may want the recipe for your radish tart if you're willing to

share. Do you use your VM to make the bread? I made the whole wheat bread from

the Whole Grains booklet for awhile. Also, which VM cookbook are you talking

about? I don't think I have a recipe for carrot, ginger, and orange soup - but

I'd love one!

 

Take care,

 

Peggy

I had not seen the Healthy Juicer electric model for $189 that also makes and

extrudes pasta! Still only the 4 parts to clean. Take a look if you've not seen

this one. I'm happy with the manual for the time being, but that electric one

looks nice, too. From the description: This machine has so many different

functions than just a juicer! Make pasta, nut

butters, healthy baby food, frozen desserts and soy milk makes this machine an

incredible value. Includes two specially designed augers, one for wheatgrass and

one for fruits and vegetables. No heat is generated so all the vitamins &

enzymes are preserved!

Another advantage with the Healthy Juicer is there is

no internal screen! You also have the option to have your juice with or without

the additional fiber that the pulp provides. If you like pulpy juice, just leave

the screen off!

The Healthy Juicer electric is made of non-toxic

polycarbonate and a stainless steel drive shaft which is sure to last years upon

years. "

 

Also has an 8 year warranty on the motor, 1 yr on parts.

 

Good stuff abounds!

Peggy,

I have a West Bend bread machine that I got for $35.00 in 1999 and I love it. I

almost never have any " flops " with it and when I do, it's usually my fault for

being a little too " experimental " . I dearly love to throw in all sorts of weird

things and sometimes the proportions get too far off the mark. I'm just

thrilled that I can now make bread at all!

I'm having issues with something eating my radish and turnip tops. I

haven't got anything to spray them with and I'm going to be leaving for 3 weeks

here in a few days. I'm not too hopeful that I'll have much of a garden when I

get back. I have a roommate but she's clueless about gardening and I have zero

faith that she'll actually pay attention to stuff for that long. She planted

some green onions from the store and she babies those but she couldn't care less

about the tomatoes, cauliflower and other things that I planted.

I'll find the recipe tomorrow (I'm upstairs and it's downstairs) for that soup

and let you know which one it is. It's a little too " orangey " for me but it

sure is pretty!

Oh - and I did that very same thing when juicing wheatgrass a couple of weeks

ago. I was all done and I was taking it all apart and I knocked the container

over and spilled all that beautiful wheatgrass juice all over my kitchen! I

always use the clamp because I only have a wooden table where I can use my

Healthy Juicer and I don't trust just the suction on the bottom.

Peace,

It's on page 88 of the Whole Foods cookbook:

Gingered Carrot Orange Soup

You chop up carrots, slice onions and then saute those in some butter spread

with the ginger until everything is soft. Put in some chicken or veggie broth

and simmer until everything is tender. Throw that mixture into the Vitamix

with three peeled oranges and some orange peel and blend it for 30-45 seconds.

Season with salt and pepper.

I think if I ever make it again, I'll reduce the oranges to two and use chicken

stock instead of the veggie stuff (from the little cubes).

If you don't have this one and want the exact proportions, let me know.

The radish tart was great warmed up again tonight even though the recipe said it

wouldn't be as good. ;-)

Thanks! Sounds great! I thought you had said the recipe was from the Vitamix

cookbook. I don't have the Whole Foods cookbook, but may have to check it out.

 

I appreciate your time in telling me about this, and also your tweak if you make

it again.

OK. I have the 5000 and will have to check out the cookbook that came with it. I

have hundreds (literally!!!) of cookbooks, and sometimes it's not easy to find

what I'm looking for. My favs are in a binder.

 

Thanks again.

It is from the Vitamix Whole Food Recipes cookbook. It came with my 5200.

It's a binder that has an " easel " cover so that it will stand up on my counter.

I've gone through it cover to cover at least 2 or 3 times now - and it makes me

hungry every time I do it, so I have to be careful to only look through it when

I've already eaten!

I'm going to miss my Vitamix while I'm on vacation for the next 3 1/2 weeks.

(And no, I can't take it with me) ;-)

Some people travel with a tribest-I hear it is like a mini vitamix.

Too funny n! I will have to go look that up to see what it's like (and

I'll leave them a note to start sending you commissions!)

Here's the deal though - and I'm so excited I can hardly stand it!: I am going

to drive to NW Indiana (this Friday) to spend three weeks working on a small

organic farm. I'm not going to expect or ask for anything special in the way of

food or diet - I'm just going to roll with whatever is on the menu because I'm

sure it will be great! (And I already know it's going to include some good

microbrew!)

I won't miss my sprouts as much since I will have the opportunity to work out in

a REAL garden the whole time. Plus, take care of chickens, sheep, goats, build

fence, maybe learn about bee keeping and possibly work on helping build a small

camping cabin. We are also going to butch chickens on or around June 10, which

is something I (sort of) helped do when I was younger and was growing up on a

farm. I've not done it for such a long time - and never did the " hard part " of

actual killing and removing the " innards " , so I need to " learn " that part if I

want to try to have chickens of my own one of these days for anything other than

just eggs.

So it's going to be a fantastic adventure and I'm sure that I won't miss the

Vitamix that much once I actually get to the farm (sorry everyone). ;-)

Good grief - so excited that I didn't even proofread!

That should have been " butcher chickens " !

Definitely sounds like a most excellent adventure and wonderful learning

experience as well! Will look forward to Tales from an Organic Farm, LOL!!
