So the hubs and I have become quite the juicers. I never thought I would say this but I actually crave it now...my hubby convinced me that we had to have this juicer....he had me at you can make baby food with it...we will see, I still plan to invest in a Beaba for Miss Isabella's baby food but we will see.
You see one of the many wonderful things about my husband is when he gets an idea or interest in his mind he does more research than my attention span would allow....the research he did said this is the juicer we must have and I must say it is so fast, easy, and SO quick to clean. He also did tons and tons of research on the benefits and I LOVE him for that....so here are the most important benefits that I have found in my research...


Juicing allows you to.....

Consume more vegetables than you could probably eat in a day comfortably.

Try a wider variety of vegetables than you would typically not eat.

Absorb more of the nutrients from the vegetables.

And each vegetable has some incredible benefits, see some of our faves below.
