Banana Sorbet With the Omega J8006 Juicer

Banana sorbet! What??? Yeah, one of the benefits of the Omega J8006 juicer is that it can do a variety of other things. Making frozen sorbet is one.

Banana Sorbet

If you have a sweet tooth try making banana sorbet with your Omega masticating juicer. Whether it’s an Omega J8004 or J8006 it will make ice cream (sorbet) for you. The other Omega models will too. These juicers are a great value and you can get free shipping through Amazon. Prime membership entitles you to free two day shipping also. What a great deal!

With bananas it’s simple to do and bananas are not only delicious, but good for you. They are packed with potassium. We all need potassium.

Banana-Fruit

A banana is an edible fruit, botanically a berry, produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa. Wikipedia

Peel your bananas ahead of time and put them in the freezer (ziploc bag). After they have had time to freeze, take them out and run them through your Omega juicer. Use the blank cone that came with the juicer and not the juicing screen. After you’ve run the bananas through it’s time to enjoy your sorbet. Fresh from the juicer is best!

Try this: between bananas, run a fresh frozen strawberry through the juicer for a banana strawberry dessert. Delicious!

Here’s a recipe right from the manual:

Banana Sorbet- Banana Berry

2 or 3 bananas (peeled)

6 to 12 berries (no stems)

Place items in a zip lock bag. Place items in the freezer overnight. It is helpful to cut the bananas into smaller pieces before freezing. Place the frozen pieces into the juicer. The result is an ice cream or frozen yogurt-type dessert. You may run the items through multiple times to increase the creaminess.

Have you tried adding plain yogurt?

NutriBullet Pro: Is it Really a Nutrition Extractor?

What is the NutriBullet Pro I asked myself? These tend to get confusing. NutriBullet, MagicBullet and Nutri Ninja. So many kinds. What are these and which one should I get? Honestly I didn’t know what to try, so when a nice lady came by and said “Get that one!” I purchased the NutriBullet Pro. She said it is amazing and works great. She said she uses it almost everyday and loves it. So that’s why I ended up with the NutriBullet Pro. Oh, it was on sale too! This was shortly before Christmas.

NutriBullet Pro: Nutrition Extractor

Since then I’ve been educated some on the NutriBullet Pro. This is a 900 watt personal sized blender according to Amazon and is sold by Nutri Bullet. I got the 9 piece set for Virginia and I to use.

According to Nutri Bullet this isn’t just a personal blender though. This is a nutrition extractor! Let them explain:

What is Nutrition Extraction? Unlike blenders and juicers, Nutribullet nutrient extractors are specifically engineered to break down the cell walls of food to create the most nutrient dense smoothies possible. This unique extraction process transforms food into its most nutritious, most absorbable state. With extraction, you get the health benefits of eating the whole fruit and vegetable – the fiber, the pulp, the seeds and skins – nothing is left behind.

Is it hogwash? I want to be honest, I don’t know. It sounds good though. I doubt there is any scientific evidence (studies) to prove that nutrition extractors actually do what they claim. This goes for juicers too.

What I do believe is that the NutriBullet breaks down fruit and vegetables to a state that is easily absorbed by the body. When we drink smoothies we are not only getting the juice but getting fiber. Fiber is good and when blending fruit, fiber helps to slow down the absorption of natural sugar in the fruit. You won’t get that sugar high, sugar spike, like when juicing fruit.

NutriBullet Pro

Another benefit of using a personal blender like this NutriBullet Pro: You’ll find yourself consuming a wider variety of fruits and vegetables then you may normally get. I like trying different recipes and these recipes use everything from apples to zucchini.

You’ll also find you get more servings of fruits and vegetables in your diet. These are all good points. I don’t see any downside to using the NutriBullet when using it sensibly. I wouldn’t drink just smoothies for 7 days straight, but it could be done.

What do you think about the nutrition extractor claims? Thanks again for visiting, happy juicing and stay smooth!

Power Juicer Pro Review

Okay, I grew up watching Jack Lalanne on TV. I remember seeing him when I was a kid and thinking, “man, that guy is strong.” Little did I know that someday he’d be selling juicers on TV. I think he was a very special individual who really cared about people. That’s just my opinion. I never met him, but I’m sure lots of people think the same thing about him. He just came across to me that way. I don’t own one of these juicers yet, but I hope to someday (my juicer was a gift from my son and I won’t give it up just yet). I have this juicer in my Amazon Associate Store for three or four reasons. 1. I like Jack Lalanne. 2. It has good reviews (solid 3.5 out of 5 stars) and solid sales statistics. 3. Shipping is FREE. I believe in this product and if you’re not happy with it, you can return it. See one review below and click on the picture above to view the product page and more reviews.

Best Juicer There Is!,June 13, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

This review is from: Jack Lalanne PJP Power Juicer Pro Stainless-Steel Electric Juicer (Kitchen)

I have been juicing for years with a few different cheap brand names. They were ok but very difficult to clean and very loud. I like to make my juice early in the morning before I go to the gym and it would sometimes wake up my neighbors if I did it too early. Many times I had to juice after the gym because it was so loud. The first thing that I noticed with the Power Juicer Pro is that it is super quite. Secondly it is pretty easy to clean. Thirdly, the machine is just beautiful. And lastly, the juice is much finer and cleaner than juice made from much cheaper machines. If you are serious into juicing and you do it everyday this is the machine to get. If you juice once in awhile you might want to get the cheaper Jack Lalanne plastic models. But beware that the plastic juicers are harder to clean and often get stained by the carrots. I hope that this review will be helpful to some. Happy juicing!!!

Jack Lalanne Power Juicer Pro Review

Choosing The Best Juicer

Breville JE98XL Juicer

I didn’t choose my first juicer, it was a gift. My son gave me a juicer for Father’s day and I started using it that same day. It was exciting! I remember running down to the grocery store and buying a bunch of fruits and vegetables. When I got home I started juicing for my son and my girlfriend, Virginia. I didn’t even think about the types of juicers or which one was better and what the differences were.

Buying a Juicer

So if you don’t have a juicer and plan on buying one, read on. Get the best one you can afford, and don’t worry about it if it’s not what the “experts” want you to buy. Bottom line: The important thing is that you actually start juicing. I like off-roading, sometimes called “wheeling”, and a guy I know says, “Doesn’t matter what rig you’re driving (Jeep, Toyota, Hummer), just matters that you’re out there wheeling.” I like that and I’ll apply that to juicing. “It doesn’t matter what type you buy, it just matters that you’re juicing.” Juicing is good for your overall health and you won’t be sorry you started!

Centrifugal and Masticating Juicers

Basically there are two types of juicers you need to know about for juicing at home (I want to keep it simple). One type of juicer is a centrifugal juicer like the Breville JE98XL Juice Fountain Plus, pictured above. Most juicers sold are this type. These are usually the least expensive and do a good job. Some are loud, but tolerable. They juice things  fast and are pretty easy to clean. They do a good job on hard fruit and vegetables like apples, carrots and even cucumbers. I think they do well juicing oranges, pineapple and strawberries too. I can put entire small apple into mine. It can take a handful of spinach and two or three carrots at the same time too. You can’t do that with the next type, which is the masticating juicer.

Omega J8006

The second type is a masticating juicer. Like the Omega J8006 Nutrition Center Juicer , pictured right. Sometimes these are called a low speed juicer or slow juicer. They do a great job of juicing things like greens, kale, wheatgrass and spinach, unlike the centrifugal. So if you think you’re going to be juicing a lot of leafy greens, choose one like this.

The slow juicer crushes and squeezes the produce through a screen or filter and this forces the juice out. This supposedly squeezes out more enzymes, vitamins and trace minerals and doesn’t damage them in the process. Since it does it slowly, it doesn’t heat up the juice. Honestly, I can’t tell if the speed of the centrifugal heats up the juice more or not. I haven’t taken its temperature 😆 . People claim that a slow juicer keeps the enzymes and nutrients at a temperature that they can survive at and it squeezes out more of them. I don’t know of any studies proving this, but I like the concept.

The other advantage to a masticating juicer is that the pulp it creates is very dry. Proponents of this type say it gets 20% more juice out of the produce than a centrifugal juicer, so you’ll save money in the long run by using it. I can attest to the slow juicer getting more juice out of my produce. That’s a fact, especially since I juice a lot of leafy greens. It can also do other things like pasta, grind coffee, make natural baby food and natural nut butter. Pretty cool, eh?

A third kind is the the twin gear triturating juicers. These are expensive, hard to clean and I don’t think appealing for everyday juicing. Not for the beginner in my opinion. Let’s keep it simple and you can forget about the twin gear for now.

Centrifugal juicers run between $45 and $300. Masticating juicers run between $231 and $379. Basically you’ll be choosing between these two types.

My suggestion is to look at the two mentioned above and less expensive one, the Hamilton Beach 67601A Big Mouth Juice Extractor, pictured below.

Hamilton Beach Big Mouth

So what do I use most often? The Omega J8004 Nutrition Center Commercial Masticating Juicer. I got a good deal on it. It’s just like the Omega J8006 Nutrition Center Juicer, but in white.

Omega J8004

I like the masticating juicer because it does a great job with leafy greens. It’s pretty quiet, and it’s easy to clean. The The Omega J8004 also produces great tasting juice. I don’t know if it’s my imagination or not, but it seems to taste better and last longer than juice made with my centrifugal. I can also make sorbet!

Be sure to visit my Juicers page. There are more options there. For around $350 you could get an Omega VRT350 Heavy Duty Dual-Stage Vertical Single Auger Low Speed Juicer. I hear these are excellent and it’s what I’m going to get next.

Remember: There’s no-thing better for your body than FRESH fruit and vegetable juice! So JUICE ON!

NutriBullet Pro: Is it Really a Nutrition Extractor?

Choosing The Best Juicer

Breville JE98XL Juicer

I didn’t choose my first juicer, it was a gift. My son gave me a juicer for Father’s day and I started using it that same day. It was exciting! I remember running down to the grocery store and buying a bunch of fruits and vegetables. When I got home I started juicing for my son and my girlfriend, Virginia. I didn’t even think about the types of juicers or which one was better and what the differences were.

Buying a Juicer

So if you don’t have a juicer and plan on buying one, read on. Get the best one you can afford, and don’t worry about it if it’s not what the “experts” want you to buy. Bottom line: The important thing is that you actually start juicing. I like off-roading, sometimes called “wheeling”, and a guy I know says, “Doesn’t matter what rig you’re driving (Jeep, Toyota, Hummer), just matters that you’re out there wheeling.” I like that and I’ll apply that to juicing. “It doesn’t matter what type you buy, it just matters that you’re juicing.” Juicing is good for your overall health and you won’t be sorry you started!

Centrifugal and Masticating Juicers

Basically there are two types of juicers you need to know about for juicing at home (I want to keep it simple). One type of juicer is a centrifugal juicer like the Breville JE98XL Juice Fountain Plus, pictured above. Most juicers sold are this type. These are usually the least expensive and do a good job. Some are loud, but tolerable. They juice things  fast and are pretty easy to clean. They do a good job on hard fruit and vegetables like apples, carrots and even cucumbers. I think they do well juicing oranges, pineapple and strawberries too. I can put entire small apple into mine. It can take a handful of spinach and two or three carrots at the same time too. You can’t do that with the next type, which is the masticating juicer.

Omega J8006

The second type is a masticating juicer. Like the Omega J8006 Nutrition Center Juicer , pictured right. Sometimes these are called a low speed juicer or slow juicer. They do a great job of juicing things like greens, kale, wheatgrass and spinach, unlike the centrifugal. So if you think you’re going to be juicing a lot of leafy greens, choose one like this.

The slow juicer crushes and squeezes the produce through a screen or filter and this forces the juice out. This supposedly squeezes out more enzymes, vitamins and trace minerals and doesn’t damage them in the process. Since it does it slowly, it doesn’t heat up the juice. Honestly, I can’t tell if the speed of the centrifugal heats up the juice more or not. I haven’t taken its temperature 😆 . People claim that a slow juicer keeps the enzymes and nutrients at a temperature that they can survive at and it squeezes out more of them. I don’t know of any studies proving this, but I like the concept.

The other advantage to a masticating juicer is that the pulp it creates is very dry. Proponents of this type say it gets 20% more juice out of the produce than a centrifugal juicer, so you’ll save money in the long run by using it. I can attest to the slow juicer getting more juice out of my produce. That’s a fact, especially since I juice a lot of leafy greens. It can also do other things like pasta, grind coffee, make natural baby food and natural nut butter. Pretty cool, eh?

A third kind is the the twin gear triturating juicers. These are expensive, hard to clean and I don’t think appealing for everyday juicing. Not for the beginner in my opinion. Let’s keep it simple and you can forget about the twin gear for now.

Centrifugal juicers run between $45 and $300. Masticating juicers run between $231 and $379. Basically you’ll be choosing between these two types.

My suggestion is to look at the two mentioned above and less expensive one, the Hamilton Beach 67601A Big Mouth Juice Extractor, pictured below.

So what do I use most often? The Omega J8004 Nutrition Center Commercial Masticating Juicer. I got a good deal on it. It’s just like the Omega J8006 Nutrition Center Juicer, but in white.

Omega J8004

I like the masticating juicer because it does a great job with leafy greens. It’s pretty quiet, and it’s easy to clean. The The Omega J8004 also produces great tasting juice. I don’t know if it’s my imagination or not, but it seems to taste better and last longer than juice made with my centrifugal. I can also make sorbet!

Be sure to visit my Juicers page. There are more options there. For around $350 you could get an Omega VRT350 Heavy Duty Dual-Stage Vertical Single Auger Low Speed Juicer. I hear these are excellent and it’s what I’m going to get next.

Remember: There’s no-thing better for your body than FRESH fruit and vegetable juice! So JUICE ON!

Choosing The Best Juicer

Banana Sorbet With the Omega J8006 Juicer

Banana sorbet! What??? Yeah, one of the benefits of the Omega J8006 juicer is that it can do a variety of other things. Making frozen sorbet is one.

Banana Sorbet

If you have a sweet tooth try making banana sorbet with your Omega masticating juicer. Whether it’s an Omega J8004 or J8006 it will make ice cream (sorbet) for you. The other Omega models will too. These juicers are a great value and you can get free shipping through Amazon. Prime membership entitles you to free two day shipping also. What a great deal!

With bananas it’s simple to do and bananas are not only delicious, but good for you. They are packed with potassium. We all need potassium.

Banana-Fruit

A banana is an edible fruit, botanically a berry, produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa. Wikipedia

Peel your bananas ahead of time and put them in the freezer (ziploc bag). After they have had time to freeze, take them out and run them through your Omega juicer. Use the blank cone that came with the juicer and not the juicing screen. After you’ve run the bananas through it’s time to enjoy your sorbet. Fresh from the juicer is best!

Try this: between bananas, run a fresh frozen strawberry through the juicer for a banana strawberry dessert. Delicious!

Here’s a recipe right from the manual:

Banana Sorbet- Banana Berry

2 or 3 bananas (peeled)

6 to 12 berries (no stems)

Place items in a zip lock bag. Place items in the freezer overnight. It is helpful to cut the bananas into smaller pieces before freezing. Place the frozen pieces into the juicer. The result is an ice cream or frozen yogurt-type dessert. You may run the items through multiple times to increase the creaminess.

Have you tried adding plain yogurt?

It Started As a Gift

I received my first juicer a couple of years ago as a gift from my son on Father's Day. I got into it right away and started juicing apples, oranges, lemons, pineapples, strawberries, grapefruit, wheat grass, watermelons, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, beets, kale, broccoli, and a whole lot more. I knew nutritionally it'd be good for me and my overall health would improve. I juiced for myself, family, friends and loved one's. It's great fun and there's nothing better than FRESH fruit and vegetable juice for the body. I have lots of recipes and information about juicing, weight loss, nutrition and natural health, so I hope you'll join me and follow this page. If you don't have a juicer yet, go to my store (see below) and pick one up that fits your budget. You won't be sorry!
