Juicing Ideas from Farmers Market



 Farmers Market & Juicing 

We all need more raw food every day, yes? 
I think so



Fresh strawberries blueberries at the farmers market in Avila Beach on the Central Coast of California. It doesn't get better than this. All locally grown fresh raw food with taste to match anything on this earth. Truly a gift. During our stay in the central coast of California we were able to go to a farmers market every day of week. From Pismo Beach to Morro Bay they have a market each day of the week. We had our juicer with us. We juiced fresh fruits and vegetables daily from one of the most fertile areas in our country which were usually picked that day. We were spoiled. But not as much as the folks who lived there years round. Its truly a special place.  Lots of leafy greens, kale, fennel, strawberries, blueberries, apples, carrots, celery, cucumbers, every day. And we had a two juicers to choose from,  Breville and a Champion juicer. I liked the Champion for the kale, parsley, and other greens. The Breville was good for the carrots , apples, celery. I was surprised how heated the Champion got some times.  Some of the softest Kale I've ever seen. I forgot the name of it. If someone knows please comment below. 

I have a Breville 850 and the Ikon. I love them both. We also made some banana ice cream with the Champion juicer. We bough a bag of banana's on sale for a crazy price $0.11 a pound. We removed the banana skin then placed the banana's in a ziplock bag and put them in the freezer overnight. The next day we ran the frozen bananas through the Champion. Out came ice cream. We also froze strawberries and blue berries. We added that to the bananas. It was SOOO GOOD! I love the champion. Its very versatile and stolid as a tank. We had a Jack LaLanne Juicer for the longest time but grew out of it. Its a great starter juicer for someone who's beginning. If I was to start again, I would start with the Breville. Its stronger and the pulp dryer than the Jack Lalanne Juicer.  It saves money in the long run by producing a better yield.
