Juicers and blenders each bring with them a multitude of different benefits. Although they fundamentally both produce nutritious outcomes, with a myriad of health benefits, there are also some key differences between a juicer and a blender that could help you to choose one or the other, or even both!

Masticating juicers are often referred to as cold press juicers or slow juicers. This category of juicers includes some the best juicers available. We’ll cover lots of important information for making a decision, including what cold pressed means and why you might choose a masticating juicer over a centrifugal juicer. It’s helpful to note that there are two different types of masticating juicers: single auger and twin gear (considered a high-end juicer). We’ll focus mainly on single gear cold press juicers, then take a look at our favorite twin gear juicers and who might consider purchasing one of those.

So you’ve decided to begin drinking celery juice every day? Congratulations! Personally, I’ve also been exploring this popular wellness hack from Medical Medium, Anthony William. If celery juice is as powerful a medicinal tonic as he claims (ideal for cleansing the liver and rebooting health), I too wanted to give the celery juice trend a try. After deciding to jump in, the obvious first question was: what juicer does Medical Medium recommend? I was very surprised to discover that he doesn’t strongly recommend any one juicer.

When juicing first became a mainstream idea, “the juicer to buy” was the centrifugal juicer. We all saw the infomercials and many of those same juicers can still be purchased. However, across the internet, new information quickly spread that centrifugal juicers produce too much heat and therefore kill all the nutrients we’re trying to drink! But is that true? Do centrifugal juicers destroy nutrients or is that internet hype? I did a lot of research to find out, and what I learned is that we have a lot more testing to do. Juice from a centrifugal juicer contains about 15% less nutrients, which is a minimal amount overall. This information was the only unbiased, well-tested

When juicing, there are staple vegetables I return to again and again: carrots, cucumbers, leafy greens, apples, beets, and sweet potatoes. When it’s time to add a bit more variety, I find myself reaching for anything I can find in the fridge. But that got me thinking, are there any fruits and vegetables that I shouldn’t be juicing? Some produce can’t be juiced simply because you won’t be able to extract juice from it very well, such as berries and bananas.
