Jack LaLane Power Juicer

Jack LaLane Power Juicer

It's always a risk taking Doug into Bed, Bath and Beyond (well that and Home Depot). He always finds something we should have. And this time he found our Jack LaLane Power Juicer. We paid $99 for it. We've certainly gotten our money's worth from it. Here's the link to the power juicer's blog: http://blog.powerjuicer.com/

Doug's only complaint is that it's a little tough to clean since we don't have a dishwasher. But he says it's well worth it. You can't juice bananas, rhubarb or avocados. You do have to peel the citrus fruit. But there's a lot of things you can put in it besides fruit like kale, spinach, celery or carrots.

The first photo is the juicer. We keep it in a plastic tub on the loft. The second photo is one of my favorite recipes for juice. It has:

• 4 pears
• 2 lemons

• 2 limes

We've juiced pineapple, apples, apricots, pears, lemons, oranges, grapefruit, grapes, celery, carrots, honeydew melons, limes, tangerines, peaches, mangos, strawberries, blueberries, papays, raspberries, watermelons and much more.

One suggestion is if you aren't going to drink it up right away, store it in a glass container with an air tight lid. We bought a half gallon one at Bed, Bath and Beyond because we couldn't find one at Walmart or Target. And don't be surprised when the juice turns colors after storage. Apple juice is brown for a reason. We've found that the juice will keep for a couple of days despite what the instructions say.
