Though we see a fair share of health trends come and go with each year, juicing is so much more than a fitness fad. This is due to its proven health benefits. Juicing is a more efficient way for the body to absorb nutrients found in fruits and vegetables that are typically locked away in fiber. It’s also a way to pack a huge punch in a small way. A 16-ounce pressed juice can provide the same nutritional value as 2 pounds of carrots or 12 apples or 8 pounds of spinach. If you’re looking to up your daily nutrient intake without overstuffing your belly, juicing is the way to go.
The best part about juicing is that you can do it easily in the comfort of your own home. You’re only using fresh, natural ingredients. No additives are needed whatsoever, and the recipes are super easy to follow. Take for instance this Sweet Green recipe. All you need is 1 bunch of spinach, 2 cups of baby carrots, ¼ of a lemon, and two granny smith apples. Simply combine everything in your juicer and voila! Another easy recipe is Weight Loss Juice. With half of a small cabbage, 2 carrots, and a cucumber, you’ve got a weight loss elixir on your hands with very minimal prep.
So you know the benefits of juicing and some killer recipes to get started, but what about the juicer? Here are the top 10 juicers on the market for your consideration.
