    Default green juicing?

    I made some juice last night in my champion. I put thru a pound of spinach and got only a couple ounces of juice at the most. I'd like to do LOTS of green juice on my juice feast, but this seems like SUCH a waste. What do you use for green *juices* (not GS)

    Champion is not a very good juicer for greens, unfortunately. The best is something like a green star. Also, check to make sure you are using the right plate.

    As RS says, GreenStar. Champion is a real workhorse for harder things like carrots, beets, etc. When I used a Champion, I would put the greens in with the harder things. They'd help push it through.

    Also, Champions tend to fun hot so, not the best for greens unless you can do them quickly.

    Hey Aleesha,

    My Jack La Lane Juicer cracked and have been searching the internet for the right type to get. They are all so expensive. I so appreciate that link. How great! I was wondering what you think of the "Electric Version"? Do you think this one measures up to the more expensive popular types?

    Thanks

    For greens I put it all in my blender and add some water to my liking and spinability(haha) and blend thoroughly.Then squeeze thru a nut milk bag...yummmmmy. Oh I add a pear or apple for tasteability. Best of health and hoppy juicing.
