Juicer, Blender and Food Processor and my plan to eat
more veggies.
08 February 2006 11:19 AM | Food
I am not big
on all the cleaning, paring, cutting and preparation
that goes into getting fresh veggies ready to cook.
Of course then you have to actually cook them. Feh!
Except I'm acutely aware that I really need to put
more vegetables in my diet. So when
Aaron mentioned a juicer
and big
light bulb went off in my little brain. I mean,
what could be healthier than veggies reduced to a
liquid state? Aaron mentioned a good juicer model
that costs about $200. The only thing is that type
of juicer is pretty much a single purpose machine.
As I investigated juicers more I thought it might
be worthwhile looking into something that could do
more than just juice.
This is where brand marketing comes in: see back in the late 1960's and early 1970's I kept seeing TV commercials and magazine ads for the Vita-Mix machine. This is sort of a super heavy duty blender, grinder machine that can reduce whole fruits and vegetables instead of just squeezing out juice it also liquifies the pulp too. That just seems healthier to me. Anyway, all those ads on TV when I was a kid combined with full page ads in magazines like Popular Mechanics actually paid off 35 years later because I remembered the Vita-Mix name and a quick search brought me to their website.
Bottom line, they are not cheap but I ended up buying a refurbished model and I'm waiting for it to be delivered. This means I am going to have to make a serious commitment to using it. More when I get it up and running.
