Surfer looking for the right Juicer, TY=)

[Surfer_Rem]

Hello,

I am a 40 year old Surfer from Los Angeles. I already live a pretty healthy lifestyle. I am an avid Surfer and avid Yogi (Bikram Yoga). I do most of my own cooking and tend to keep healthy & organic. I do have a cheat day every now and then and love Ice Cream probably a little more than I should.

I just got done watching Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead the documentary and I asked myself why I have not taken the leap into increasing my micronutrient intake. I have begun research on juicers and I am finding a lot of juicers that separate the skin from the vegetable. It is my understanding that a majority of the nutrients, fiber and vitamins are in the skins of various fruits and vegetables.

I currently have the Blendtec Blender which I use for fruit smoothies every morning. I have 3 bananas, a full cup of blueberries, a full cup of raw wheat germ, a full cup of raw oatmeal, protein powder, almond milk & organic peanut butter every morning for Bfast. The Blendtech does not bust down vegetables as I would like to drink as a juice.

I have been looking at the Breville blender and others.

What Juicers would you recommend for a 1st time juicer, that busts down the skins, easy to clean and under $150.

I thank you for taking the time to read my introduction and what I am looking for.

Is that Hand Crank Juicer just as good as the other out there that run by a motor? I mean can I Juice all type of vegetables or just Wheat Grass and other simular products?

yes you can . this is said to be great for wheaties . its made by same awesome company that makes the $500 greenstar juicer .
its only draw back might be it makes soft fruit kind of a thicker sauce type mixture as opposed to pure juice . but ive not used
so dont know . go on youtube and search zstar juicer for vids and look for JOHN KOHLER = thee expert small appliance guy .
and reason i push this is under 150 youll buy nothing but centrifugals which froth up the juices , and to me change their taste in alot
of instances so i dont like . but if you buy a centrifugal breville like you speak of theyve got a great rep , and if i were to buy an
under 150 centrifugal itd be the breville sold at bedbathbeyond for 150 , ide use 205 off cou[pon and get it at 120
