New Juicer and More Juicing Details

My New Baby
Yay! My very own Breville came in. The borrowed model(left) vs. my new ikon(right).
It's a little bit bigger, a little more powerful, 5 speeds. I like it. The other model isn't bad by any means though. Get whichever fits your budget or needs. Thanks to Seth and Kariann for letting me borrow theirs. I know they're excited to have theirs back so they can start juicing again thanks to my inspirational blog. ;)


Juicing in Pictures
I wanted to post some more pictures to show the before and after juicing so everyone can get a better idea of how much juice you get from each item and the prep work etc...


Here's the veg for my favorite red pepper tomato juice.
 

Looks great, huh? I remove the seeds and quarter the peppers so they fit, remove the vine from the tomatoes, cut the tops off the carrots, and peel the sweet potato. Simple.


Power on the juicer and begin juicing. Here's the juice levels after each item:
 

Carrots


 

+ Sweet Potato (Ignore the separation. some of the foam goes away and it mixes up fine)


 

+ Tomatoes


 

+ Red Peppers (Great Color!)


All together... over 4 cups. Add the Tabasco and enjoy!
 



So that's it. Easy and delicious. Also pretty filling. I mentioned that I make my breakfast and lunch the night before. I keep them refrigerated and take them to work the next day. Shake them up and you're good to go. For the most nutritional value, the sooner the better. Most of the good stuff is gone after 72 hours tops.
