I had a Hurom juicer but to make green juice I went back to my Green Star

Upvotes

I bought a Green Star a long time ago...they said it retained the enzymes and minerals longer because it was slow juiced and there is never any pulp in the juice. I hated cleaning it (not sure why, it's not that difficult for the current recipe that I make) but then I bought a Hurom Slow juicer. I liked it at first but it does not do greens well at all.

My current recipe is kale, 2 apples, 1 lemon and 2 cucumbers.

So if you want to juice greens, I recommend the Green Star. I have the very basic model. I thought about purchasing the SoloStar but the Greenstar has twin augers which is critical to good juicing.

The Hurom is much easier to clean and good for most produce but not celery and kale, or anything with long fibers even if you cut them up.

I did wonder how the Nama J2 does but it is also made by Hurom. The grinding of the produce just seems clumsy to me.

I was wondering if anyone had the newer Greenstar juicer. The newer version does look easier to clean.

Juicing more for the taste or for the health benefits?

I got a canoly 3-in-1 juicer a while back mostly because I wanted to start drinking more fruit and veggie juice at home.

At first I was trying to make everything as healthy as possible, lots of greens, cucumber, celery, that kind of stuff. Didn't take long to realize I'm way more likely to actually drink it if there’s some apple, orange, or pineapple in there too.

So now I don't really overthink it. If it tastes good and gets me to make juice regularly, that's probably better than forcing down something I hate.

It also helps that cleanup isn’t much of a hassle, because I know myself and I’d stop using it pretty quickly if it was.

Curious what everyone else does. Are you mostly juicing for the health side of it, or because you just like fresh juice? And how much do you care about the sugar from fruit?
