First Juice

Got home, assembled my new Jack LaLanne Power Juicer & went to work!
Let me just say I was very excited to juice my first glass of fruit.

Recipe

4 Gala Apples, cut in half
1 Whole Pineapple, quartered.



I decided to cut the skin off the pineapple to make it easier to juice and so I wouldn't dull the blades. The whole process was so SIMPLE! Prep time was about 5-7 mins. I was expecting the motor to be loud and for the juicer to vibrate around the counter. I was wrong! It was not loud and did not move one bit! Clean-Up took about 10-15 mins, but then again it was my first juicing. I'm sure I will get faster in time.

Pros:

  1. Juiced 40 oz. out of very small amount of FRESH fruit
  2. No Pulp ( don't get me wrong I like pulp, but I'm impressed it separated so well)
  3. Clean-Up was a breeze ( I lined the pulp bin with a plastic bag)
  4. It tasted DELICIOUS!

Cons

  1. 1 small piece of pineapple did not juice ( may have been the pineapple was not at its ripest)
  2. A few small drops of juice were on the juicer stand when I lifted up the basket. ( not a tie breaker though)
All in all I am very satisfied with my juicer so far.

Cheers to juicing & blogging
