Which juicer do we recommend?

Two machines that are perfect for juicing a variety of hard fruits and vegetables are:

The Omega MM900 Cold Pressed Celery Juicer This machine comes with a patented Celery Juice attachment that increases Celery Juice yields. Perfect for those who are following a Celery juice cleanse but is also great for all other ingredients.

 The Omega NC1002HDC Cold Pressed Juicer which comes with a slightly wider chute, is also fabulous for all ingredients and will provide fantastic yields from the likes of beetroot, carrots, celery and more. This machine also comes with the attachment that allows you to make other raw food recipes such as bliss balls, nut butters, frozen desserts and many other favourites, all of which can be found in its included comprehensive guide.

 

Both machines will enable you to achieve maximum yield and gain nutrients during juicing.
