It's v nice to join the group - really looking forward to learning more from you guys about the raw lifestyle: looking around the site I'm very inspired! I am still very new to eating raw (except enjoying raw fruit and veg from time to time anyway), and want to start gradually eating more & more raw until possibly all raw eventually (but also to have a vegan diet). Hoping to buy a juicer as I find green juices really delicious but only when very runny consistency. Trouble is vita-mix and blendtec so expensive - any cheaper versions you know of that might do the job? Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Look forward to chatting to some fellow Glasgow Rawbies :) Thanks,
Aren't Vitamix and Blendtec just blenders? You can make really great smoothies in blenders and don't have to shell out all the expense although obviously these are expensive because they will last you a long time. I usually get blenders from Argos/John Lewis or recently on ebay for about half the price for a brand new one so that would be my advice.
Juicers have their equivalent expensive products like Green Star. I have a centrifugal one which I got from Argos and it's lasted me really well. It doesn't extract as much juice but it does me well. Phillips are good ones that Jason Vale (the juice master) recommends!
Yeah true they are oops! But that's the consistency I'm going for, what they produce. Thanks for the ideas definitely like the idea of a centrifugal one to break down cell walls and make the nutrients more digestible. Will look into the Phillips ones too. Would like to start making tasty juices asap!
It was great to meet with you too! I'm a bit confused as to whether it's a juicer or a blender that you're looking for, but I have a vitamix blender and a champion juicer. Not the economical choices but they are fantastic and I would recommend both. Probably economic in the long run as they have a reputation for lasting for years and years, but yes it's a bit of an investment in the first instance.
Lol, I'm not sure I know either! I think it's a juicer I'm after, I guess... what confused me is even though vita-mix is a blender from what I've read it sounds ideal because it makes juices. Had a look at Champions and if I can afford to that might be the best investment for me (would come with a wheatgrass & travel juicer free too!) but have to figure that out first. Thanks :)
Um.. not really sure a Vitamix makes juices as such - it's really more like smoothies. But if you added water maybe you would get a more juice like texture to whatever you put in there, if it was too thick for your liking. It leaves no chunks or bits at all, even with nuts. Hemp seeds are the only things I've foujd that don't quite get mashed totatally, but you can seive the gritty bits out. That sounds like a bargain getting the extras with the Champion.
Here's an idea - you can come over to my house one time if you like and play with both of them and see which one suits you best. Even if you don't invest in either of those brands it would give you an idea of whether it's a juicer or a blender that's going to do what you would like to create. Anyoo laroo, you can let me know.
HI, Blenders such as Vitamix and Blentec make whole fruit/veg juice. SO you still have pulp, and by adding water/ice, you get juice consistency. Juicer (masticating are best, as they are not heating the juice, preventing enzymes from being destroyed), making juice by sieving out the pulp -- what you get is juice that is absorbed by your body quicker. Hope this helps ;)
Yeah, he doesn't look like the healthiest 62 year old. Well, at least he seems to look healthy at a glance, but he looks a bit aged for 62, and he seemed to have a stiff jaw or something going on there.

In Europe, people don't have psychologists, I'm told, they have friends, get me? (I had a friend, she said talking made it worse, with her it sure did, for me anyways, was all we talked about, her issues. I just wanted to do her, had the chance to...
Finn, will it fade over time like most white & pastel color inks?
Group tattoo, that's awesome. I like the camaraderie when someone with a misfit tattoo points to mine.

Ajonus seems to phoney to me. He gives like 5 different reasons on why he choose to eat the way he does. Although he does have some good insight on certain subjects. He comes off as to much of a con IMO.
My tattoo artist used approved UV reactive inks, so it's not really glow in the dark but glow under blacklight. Neither me, nor the 8 other people that got the tattoo together have had a reaction or a rejection of the ink so far. It's very faint o...
Right. And from what I've seen, it seems as though the variation in dietary needs seems very specific to what a person is healing from, rather than an actual anatomical difference. Whether you're eating raw meat, fermented foods, green juices, or ...
