Juicers, food processors

All of the juicing projects I see are conducted with food processors. Chew it all up and squeeze out the juice through a cheesecloth. Doesn't anybody use a juicer? It gives you more juice with less effort.

Twenty-five or so years ago I and my wife were browsing a resale shop in beautiful downtown Tomball. I spied a juicer that looked like a winner, so I took it home with me. I still use it daily and it works every bit as well as a brand new one. It's a Juiceman Jr. If it's a junior, the senior must be able to juice coconuts.

I love food processors, but to me they are not juicers.

@edgarblythe,
I remember around 25 or 30 years ago, I use to have a juicer. I think back then I ordered it from some infomercial I saw on tv. I would push down any raw fruit or vegetable down some type of a cylinder and the juice with fill up inside the juicer while all of the pulp is separated into another compartment.

@Real Music,
I juice a cup of carrot juice, with juice of lemons, oranges, green apples added. It makes almost two cups. The recipe calls for a banana, but they can't be juiced, so I eat the banana as I consume the juice.

@edgarblythe,
I use a powerful blender and consume all the fiber-rich pulp as well. More of a "sludger" than a "juicer" but I've been doing it for three decades.

@hightor,
I don't toss the pulp. The juicer makes it finer and less bulky for your ingestion.

You might try transferring the juice that was juice in the juicer to a blender and then add the banana and blend it all together.

It would add an extra step but, that may be good work around.

@Real Music,
That would work. Hadn't thought of it. (my recipe also uses ginger. I could use fresh ginger instead of from a shaker blended with the banana).

My basic mix is ½ cup frozen wild blueberries, 3 oz frozen strawberries, 4 oz frozen spinach, one orange, 1 tbs ground cayenne pepper, 1 oz of nutritional yeast, ½ tsp ground turmeric, an ounce of raw apple cider vinegar, and 4 oz. of water.

@hightor,
I listed my not-to-miss recipe earlier. But I also use the ingredients you listed in one form or another consistently.

The carrot recipe is intended to help my eyesight. Even if it doesn't help, the ingredients are good for you in many ways.

@edgarblythe,
Yes, carrots are a good ingredient. I used to use carrots and apples but in this corner of the country it was hard to get good produce consistently over the winter so I turned to frozen products.

An odd feature of my juicer is it expels the pulp at a high rate, tossing most of it beyond any bowl you could place there. But the grocery store plastic bags handily slip over that feature and catch all of it.
