The most common juicer is a centrifugal juicer like a Breville juicer. A&nbsp;centrifugal juicer spins at a really high RPM (sometimes up to 10,000 revolutions per minute). This makes quick work of your juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet with juicing, speed can be a disadvantage.\u00a0A\u00a0Breville juicer, for example, will get three times less juice from kale or spinach than an Omega juicer. However that same juicer may get 10-15% more juice out of beets and carrots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kale, spinach, and other leafy green vegetables are light weight and not very dense. They need to have the juice \u201csqueezed\u201d out of them. The best juicer for kale and spinach are thus slow juices like an Omega masticating juicer or a twin-gear juicer like the Green Star Juicer Elite or Angel Juicer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Juicer for Kale and Spinach: Omega Masticating Juicers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Omega Juicers are the leading masticating juicers. &nbsp;A masticating slowly grinds (or \u201cmasticates\u201d) kale or spinach with an auger. Since the auger spins are a low RPM, &nbsp;it is able to squeeze more juice out of kale or spinach. An Omega masticating juicer will yield up to 3 times more juice from kale and spinach than a Breville juicer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">(Pictured below: An Omega J8006 juicing kale.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" src=\"https:\/\/fit-juice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Making-Kale-Juice-with-Omega-J8006-Juicer.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-146\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Omega makes several different masticating juicers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Omega J8004 <\/li><li>Omega J8005 <\/li><li>Omega J8006 (the juicer I own)<\/li><li>Omega VRT350 <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Which Omega juicer is right for you?
