Some of you know that I’ve taken up juicing and did a lot of research about which juicer to buy – it’s a big purchase after all! Here’s why I’ve started juicing but right now I want to dive deeper into the different machines out there and their pros and cons, so that you can know which one is right for you.

Each juicer has its own strengths and weaknesses. The best tip I’ve learned is to choose the best juicer for what you want to juice. Makes sense right? Here are the top 3 juicers, based on reading reviews, comparing prices and considering individual needs. Which juicer is best for you?

Plus, you love experimenting and finding ways of making your green juice taste great – adding a little ginger and lemon zing! You’re looking for a machine to help you eat for optimal health and love the other functions it provides: grinding fresh flours, making home-made pasta and making frozen banana ice-cream for dessert!
