Juicers/Juicing

Antpocalypsenow [Edit] [Delete] 61 replies 11:46, 30 May '14

I know you pricks all love a fad so talk to me about juicing. What's a good juicer to get? What are good juices to drink? Any of you lot done that thing where you replace a meal a day with a juice or whatever?

Probably some indie points available but KiK doesn't seem to be around to dish them out at the minute.

          • Juicer

            My sister gave me a juicer, I used it for a bit then couldn't be fucked using/cleaning it anymore. I gave it back to her and she now uses it.

            That is the story of my juicer (brand and model not remembered).

    My favourite is:

    Mixed Berries - which I freeze
    Coconut Milk
    1x Banana

    Simple and delicious.

    • That's not juicing, that's blending/smoothie making.

      • Well it's making a juice

        I had a juicer. It's very bulky and cleaning it is a bitch.

        Smoothies are just quicker and easier.

    And I know comsebody is going to cite The Case Of the Unused IceCream Maker at me any second now,..... BUT I am really quite intent on gretting one of these this weekend as I was looking at my worktops this morning while I was making breakfast and was thinkign HELL YEAH, tyou know what< this surface isn't nearly enough cluttered with never used appliances that are hard to clean and don't quite fit into the cupboards.

    So I shall watch this thread with interest, when I get out of my meeting.

        My sister keeps banging on about some concoction with cale, celery, lime, apples, carrots and avocado or some such bullshit.

  • Get a blender/smootie maker - you can use them for other stuff.

    If you do want a juicer, there are probably quite a few on e-bay as lots of people bought them about five or six years ago when the fad was in full swing and now find that they're cluttering up their cupboards like an ice-cream or bread maker.

    marckee | 30 May '14, 11:57 | X
    • Five or six YEARS ago!?

      God, I'm so behind the times.

      Got a bitchin' blender already with all sorts of attachments and smoothie making bits and that. No juicer though.

      Antpocalypsenow @marckee | 30 May '14, 11:58 | X
      • wait what the fuck is a juicer then

        and why would someone want one if they already have a smoothie maker??

        alcxxk @Antpocalypsenow | 30 May '14, 12:07 | X

                BUT you know full well that you'll be healthier and lose more weight by not removing all the fibre from your food, right?

                • Yeah, obvs

                  It would be for veg juices rather than fruit ones though innit. They are legit meant to be very good for you I think, cleansing and all that lot.

                  Antpocalypsenow @alcxxk | 30 May '14, 12:28 | X
            • *about ten oranges in and get half a glass of juice out.

              marckee @alcxxk | 30 May '14, 12:28 | X
      • just use the blender man

        a juicer just holds back all the roughage, takes a ton of fruit to make a decent sized juice, wastes a load of the good stuff and is a mare to clean due to all the waste

        yeah a blender will make more of a smoothie but you can just wash, chop and chuck in all your fruit/veg, then just drink it fill the blender with water, pop on for a bit and boom clean

        Noblet @Antpocalypsenow | 30 May '14, 12:16 | X
  • I have the Andrew James juicer

    Solid as hell. You can lob whole apples in there (for e.g.) core, stalk and all

    Time to move on now to you lot explaining to me the most effective way to utilise this new gadget for weight-loss/health-gain without really having to actually DO that much to achieve those things. Shoot.

    i like it. cheap and works well so far, and easy to clean:

    SenorDingDong | 30 May '14, 12:05 | X
  • i find a juicer is a lot of hassle & waste

    bought one off ebay a few years ago but had no fun with it

    instead i just got a powerful blender and through in my fruit so i get all the roughage as well, highly recommended

    Noblet | 30 May '14, 12:08 | X
    • I hate roughage

      I really can't emphasise enough just how much of a child I am about fruit-intake.

      Skin? Not a chance!
      Pith? Fuck off!
      Cores? Not on your nelly!
      "Ooh it's a bit overripe". Put it in the fucking bin then!

      Antpocalypsenow @Noblet | 30 May '14, 12:10 | X
      • you still chop out the core and pips

        but wont even notice the skin once blended

        apple, pear, carrot, cucumber & kale whisked into a smoothie is delicious

        Noblet @Antpocalypsenow | 30 May '14, 12:18 | X
  • i've got cheapo blenders (a bullet and an immersion) but i'm convinced that i could do with having a juicer to remove fibre from my food for soups (because of digestive diseases). they've been on my amazon wishlish for years because it would be too much hassle to have another bloody thing to clean, i'm probably too weak to even push food into it, and i've got no space.

  • juicing

    veg juices good - so cucumber, celery, tomato, carrot all that stuff. Do it quite a lot (not as meal replacement really but could work that way) and instantly feel healthier

    fruit juices - taste nice, but is just a load of sugar innit. Probably outweighs the benefits
