Healthy Juicer Review & Giveaway - closed

There's no doubt about it, fresh fruits and vegetables are good for you. I recently started looking into the Gerson Therapy which is an alternative cancer therapy. The Gerson Therapy uses organic foods, juicing, detoxification, and natural supplements to activate the body's ability to heal itself. Juicing is the main component of the therapy, you drink 13+ glasses of fresh juice per day! Between researching the Gerson Therapy and watching Crazy Sexy Cancer I decided that I was going to turn towards some alternative therapies to hopefully keep my cancer at bay. Not only will it help my body keep cancer away there is research that shows it will help prevent diabetes, heart disease, asthma, arthritis, and allergies.

So where do you begin? There are a ton of juicers out there. The main goal is to preserve as many enzymes and nutrients that you can. Because heat destroys some of these important enzymes centrifugal juicers are not recommended. 

I was recently given the chance to try out the Healthy Juicer which is a manual juicer specifically made for wheatgrass and leafy greens. Because it's manual it produces virtually no heat, so you can be sure you are getting the optimum enzymes and nutrients. 

I tested the Healthy Juicer with some organic spinach.

Ease of use: The Healthy Juicer was extremely easy to put together! The instructions were very thorough and I only had to glance over them once. Since this is a manual juicer it does take more effort than an electric juicer, but it juices leafy greens with minimal effort. 

Cleaning the Healthy Juicer is also a breeze. Everything comes apart for easy cleaning. It only took about 5-10 minutes after juicing to clean the entire juicer.

This juicer is compact so storing is really easy which is great!

Value: This juicer cots $44.95 which is a great value compared to most other manual juicers. I've seen manual wheatgrass juicers for $100+. I'd much rather spend $44.95, wouldn't you?

They also have an electric Healthy Juicer for $149.95 which also juices wheatgrass and leafy greens, but also juices fruits, has pasta making attachments, and can make frozen desserts. 

End result: This juicer definitely extracts most of the juice from the veggies you put into it! The crushed spinach (pictured right) was pretty dry, which means all of the juice was extracted (pictured left) and drank by my husband and I.
