Alright!
This is John Kohler with discountjuicers.com.
Today we have another exciting episode for you, coming at you from my backyard garden.
Yes, this is a nice large cucumber hanging next to me.
I'm not picking that one today, but what I am juicing is one of my favorite green juices.
My favorite green juices are greens that are in season right now at the time.
So I always want to encourage you guys to rotate the different juices you make, even
if this is somebody's favorite lemon ginger blast or whatever kind of juice, switch up
the recipes, change a few ingredients.
Don't always juice spinach, don't always juice kale, don't always juice bok choy or lettuce,
keep rotating different ones in.
I want to encourage you guys also to experiment when juicing.
One of the biggest tips I can give you guys when experimenting and making up your own
juices is try to keep it simple.
As you guys are going to learn today I'm only using three ingredients, super simple, super
easy.
Don't just start putting all kind of ingredients in there because you can make some really
foul smelling and foul tasting stuff.
I don't want you guys to do that, aright.
So in general I like to use something that's kind of sweet, so today we're using the Asian
pears, I like to use something also for a nice good water content, today we're using
the cucumbers, you could also use something like the celery or even zucchini, I've used
squash before and peel jicama root.
Then we're going to add in the greens and so we have a ten ounces of baby organic spinach
ready to juice.
Today we'll be using the Omega VSJ 843 juicer, the Omega VSJ 843 juicer is a second generation
vertical single auger juicer.
This is the kind of juicer I would recommend to you guys if you want to juice a bunch of
greens plus a lot of other stuff, overall this style of juicer juices most things, fruits,
hard vegetables and leafy greens the best and the two latest versions of the vertical
single auger juicer, the second generation, the only two second generation models are
the Omega VSJ 843 and the Slow Star juicer.
So I'd encourage you guys to get one of those if you don't have one already, they will definitely
save you time when you are juicing.
So there's a few reasons why I like the Omega VSJ 843 juicers as well as the Slow Star juicer
because they run at a low rpm.
The VSJ 843 runs at 43 revolutions per minute which is really slow compared to a Breville
Juice Fountain that runs in excess of 10,000 rpms which is really fast.
This causes oxidation to the beneficial phytonutrients in the juice based on scientific studies which
I have seen, which is going to reduce the amounts of benefits, for example anti-cancer
benefits from the juice from studies I've seen, once again.
The main thing is you want to get a juicer and start juicer.
Most Americans are doing far worse in their diet than juicing and juicing would be a major
improvement.
I mean, most Americans do not simply eat enough fruits and vegetables.
Most of the vegetables that Americans eat are potatoes in the form of French Fries and
potato chips and tomatoes in the form of ketchup.
So I really want to get you guys to eat, especially the leafy green that's what I'm focusing on
today.
We got ten ounces here, but we got, although that's a lot of lettuce we got a lot of other
things to balance it out so it's going to taste good.
So I always want to encourage you guys to make like a green juice for breakfast.
One of my girlfriend's favorite green juices is like a spinach and pineapple.
Lately she's been actually doing like some greens and some cantaloupe or something like
that.
Now, I like to generally stick to like apples and pears and Asian pears or some citrus or
some pineapple in with my leafy greens, but feel to make anything you want, but remember
this, keep the recipe simple.
Use only a handful of ingredients at the most and try to keep it down to like two or three
like pineapple and spinach-- amazing!
You don't even need to add cucumbers or anything else, right.
So yeah, if you do want do something, do like three ingredients and you're going to be far
less likely to screw something up and make something that tastes bad.
Of course, like if you're juicing dandelions, pears and cucumbers, dandelions have a strong
flavor, so you're going to want to use just a little dandelion and a whole bunch of the
other stuff, right.
So spinach is kind of mild to me and everybody's taste buds are different.
I've been doing this for twenty years now, so I'm really used to all the different flavors
and greens that I'm growing in my garden.
So without further ado let's go ahead and get into juicing in the Omega VSJ.
Now the most important thing to remember in any vertical slow juicer is to rotate the
produce you're putting in.
We're going to go ahead and put in some spinach, some cut up cucumbers, some cut up Asian pear
then repeat, spinach, cucumber, Asian pear until we're done.
So I guess let's get juicing.
Alright, so we're about half way done juicing in the VSJ and every once in a while I like
to shake down the pulp bin and this has caught a lot of pulp so I like to basically just
run that back through.
Mostly it looks like it's mostly foam, and there's not a lot of pulp in there.
Then once we've put that back in there then I like to use something watery to kind of
like push it in.
So we're going to go ahead and use a cucumber to get that all to go through.
I'm going to go ahead and continue juicing the rest of my delicious green juice today.
Alright, so I'm just about done juicing in the Omega VSJ 843.
I ran out of my greens first and that's good because you always want to run out of your
greens first.
Next we're going to go ahead and put in the final Asian pear and cucumber, our collection
cup is getting a little bit full here.
Maybe we're going to go ahead and turn this off before we overflow.
We'll shut down the stopper and I like to basically put the sieve on the top there.
We'll move the bowl aside.
Here's my delicious green juice this morning made in the Omega VSJ 843.
Alright, nothing better than a pitcher of beer to start off, I mean fresh green juice
to start off your day with.
Wow, that's really light and refreshing.
It tastes like, it's really watery due to all the cucumber, the Asian pear imparts like
a light sweetness and then we got the greens in there of course which are really beneficial
and good for us because simply not enough Americans are eating enough leafy greens.
I mean, this is how easy it is to make a juice, it doesn't take that much time and even if
you're really busy I want to encourage you guys to make the time to juice.
You are worth it.
The more you could juice and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, the more it'll improve
the quality of your life, the more it'll improve the energy you have in the life, the more
it'll improve your life span in my opinion and the healthier you're going to be because
of it.
So it's definitely one of the best investments in time you can make instead of trying to
go to your job for money that you may not need, to buy things you don't need, and all
this kind of stuff.
So we got to remember what's important and in my opinion your health should be your greatest
wealth.
