Best Juicer Buys

“Welcome to Best Juicer Buys”.

As our lives become more busy and chaotic it’s very easy to overlook our family’s nutrition and health, as well as our own, in favour of conveniet alternatives. Most of us fall into this ‘trap’….from personal experience I know it’s very easy to do !

As a result our nutrition, health and general well-being tends to suffer.

I noticed this first hand when working long hours as a young chef. Often I’d finish a long day, too exhausted to even think of cooking and just grab ‘a burger’ on the way home before ‘rolling’ into bed. Eventually, this lifestyle caught up with me.  It felt like I was moving through life in a daze , like I was on ” automatic “. So I searched for a solution….

I tried

Exercise and Sport: fantastic when you can squeeze it into you day.

Vitamin Pills: a useful supplement but we all know they shouldn’t be the ‘foundation’ of our diet.

A ‘proper, well balanced’ diet: the ideal solution,,,,all it needs is a bit of discipline, organisation and effort.

Each of these certainly has its place and I  encourage you to incorporate them into your life……but often I’d find it ‘all too easy’ to skip the gym, ‘all to easy’ to grab the nearest fast-food …until eventually I was falling back into my old ways.

Finally, I was talking to my Mum one morning , just telling her about my week when she commented on ‘how exhausted I looked. ( Mum’s do that, don’t they!! ) With good intentions she blended me up a glass of rock melon and apple juice and I immediately remembered what I’d been missing. While growing up my Mum had always been interested in health foods and nutrition so we’d always had a juice machine and a constant supply of ‘goodness’ on hand.

Afew weeks later I bought my first juicer and since then I’ve never looked back…..most mornings I’d quickly blend a fresh glass of juice. It was fun, quick, super nutritious and “usually’ delicious ……in short it was the ‘missing link’.

Since then, juicing has become a regular part of my frantic life. As a chef, I enjoy experimenting with fresh flavours,  as a boyfriend I enjoyed waking my ‘future wife’ up with a glass of her favourite juice and a tasty brunch and now, as a Dad, I love spending time with my kids, inventing our own ’secret concotions’ also knowing they are getting all of the health benefits that juicing has to offer.
