    Default Best Juicer for Nut Butters AND green juices??

    Okay, so yesterday a new raw friend of mine invited me over to juice greens and make nut butters. I only own a crappy "regular" juicer that does it's job for fruit and that's about it.
    My friend has both the Champion and the GreenStar. We made the nut butter and ice cream too in the champion and the green juice in the GreenStar.
    I'm curious because I've read that Champion doesn't juice greens very well...is there one juicer that does it all? I LOVED the texture of the nut butter in the Champion...do any other juicers make it so smooth? I mean, it was just like buying it in the store...amazing. :)
    I'm hoping to find one juicer...I don't have room (or money) to keep buying more appliances. Thanks!

    The green star does it all but it is very expensive.
    I think that any twin gear juicer will do what you want.

    I'd go with the Green Star too, that's what I got and it's awesome for everything.

    I love my Greenstar too and I'm in the habit of using it regularly but have only juiced with it. Has anyone actually made a nut butter with it? I've got the blank plate. Guess it would work just as well as the Champion, huh?

    rawlinda I got my champion juicer on craigslist for $50! I haven't used it much lately though so I should get back to using it!

    I have never tried making nut butters with it though but they sound great!
