The Best* Green Juice + Sage Nutri Juicer Review

Hey guys, if you follow my instagram feed you will have seen that I've been posting alot of pictures of juice, mainly green juice. I am on a juice buzz at the moment. I recently bought 2 things which have spurred on my juicing. Firstly i picked up a book called Clean & Green which is solely about green juice, smoothies and soups. It was a bargain at £3 and made me want to make all sorts of amazing juices. Secondly i accidently bought a Sage Nutri Juicer on Ebay (i put a small bid on it and didn't think i would win, then i won) so our old juicer has gone to a new home and we are now the proud owners of this beast of a juicer.

Before we get on to the juice i want to tell you how good this juicer is. lets start with how quiet it is, if you own a juicer you know they can be very loud, the sage juicer sounds like a gentle breeze in comparison. secondly the design of the machine is so good that it doesn't heat up, and if you know about juice you know that heat kills nutrients, so this machine claims to extract and keep upto 40% more nutrients than other juicers. Now here comes the machines downfall, unless like me you can pick one up on ebay this little fella will knock you back a whopping £149.99 at Lakeland, a price which I'm sure is out of most people's range. It was certainly out mine until i spotted the one i bought on Ebay. Saying that the Sage Nutri Juicer is well worth the money if you can afford it new, its quite, easy to clean and the best thing is it makes better juice than any other juicer I've used.

If you have seen the documentary Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead this is the juicer that Joe Cross uses throughout his trip across america. He has also made a few videos using it on the lakeland website. This documentary was the reason i bought a juicer to start with and if you watch it you will probably want to buy one too.

Anyway lets get to the juice, this isn't just any juice. This is the BEST juice i have ever made. its really fresh and zingy and when i first made it i had a bit of stomach pain, this juice helped soothe my stomach and the next time I drank it it stopped my growing headache in its tracks. I'm not claiming this is some sort of miracle juice but its helped me out when I've needed it.




The BEST* Green Juice

Recipe by Andrew Donaldson

A refreshing, cleansing green juice that is quick and simple to prepare and will sooth a sore head as well as an upset stomach. it also taste pretty great.

Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: no cooking needed
Total time: 5 minutes
Yield: 1 Jug about 800ml depending on how juicy your produce is.
Ingredients
  • 2 Green Apples (I used Golden Delicoius)
  • 1 Cucumber (peeled if not Organic)
  • 3 Large Kale Leaves
  • 2 Handfuls of Spinach, Washed
  • 1 Whole Romaine Lettuce, Washed
  • A thumb size Piece of Ginger
  • 1 Lemon, Peeled
  • 1 Bulb of Fennel
  • 1/4 cup Water
Cooking Directions
  1. 1. Turn on your juicer and slowly press through your kale, spinach and romaine.
  2. 2. Follow with the cucumber, apple, ginger, fennel and finally the lemon juice.
  3. 3. I usually finish by pouring about 1/4 cup of water through the machine to wash out the remaining juice, this is not necessary but it helps get everything through the juicer.
  4. 4. Pour your juice into a glass with ice and enjoy.
If you try this juice let me know what you think of it on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter. And keep an eye out for more recipes like this in the future. 

Thanks for reading guys
