Juicers

1. A larger feed tube on your juicer means you don't have to pre-chop as much. Over time, this may become your favorite feature.

2. Eat healthier without hours of roasting and baking. Juicers let you enjoy the nutrients, flavor and even the fiber of fresh vegetables without all the cooking. Most foods are more nutritious when fresh, since cooking can dilute the vitamin content.

3. A powerful juicer motor means you don't have to exclude those nutritious fruit seeds and skins. Your juicing will be faster, easier and more nutritious. You can have it all, after all.

4. Masticating juicers chew through even the toughest vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds. They're perfect for potent carrot juice, pineapple, wheatgrass, and other fibrous foods. They'll double as a coffee or spice grinder too. Slower motor speeds make for quieter operation.

5. Centrifugal juicers spin the pulp at ultra-fast speeds to get the most juice out of every serving. No waste, no hand-squeezing. It's like the spin cycle of your washing machine, only turbo and tasty.

6. Leave the oven off when the weather gets hot. Get your fruits and vegetable servings in cool, sweet smoothies. They’re refreshing and light, and don’t heat up the house.

7. You'll be glad you chose these safety features: on-lock prevents the juicer from running if it is not assembled properly. Auto-off prevents the motor from overheating if you leave it on. Quality surgical-steel blades grind with less bounce and drama so you don't have to stand there holding the lid on.

8. Personal drink blenders and juicers come with multiple cups that attach to the juicer motor. Each cup has a matching travel lid. Make a week's worth of healthy treats that can go right into the fridge, ready when you are.

9. Citrus juicers save your wrists and your wits. The slow twisting of the juicer paddles feels comfortable and safe. Auto-reverse pushes back on the remaining pulp, getting the last drop out of every lemon, lime or orange. Look for a clear bowl so you can extract exactly as much juice as you need, without waste.

10. Be brave! Experiment! Contrasting flavors can blend brilliantly, while giving you more balanced nutrition. Try adding sweet fruits like blueberries, bananas, peaches and mangos to your favorite salsa recipe. Carrots sweeten tomato sauce while adding gobs of vitamin C. See?
