Centrifugal juicers [Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Juice Extractor, Breville, etc.] are extremely fast and do a great job with apples, carrots, beets, celery, cucumber, and other firm fruits and vegetables. They generally offer lower yields from leafy vegetables such as kale, collard greens, spinach, and lettuce and with herbs such as parsley and mint.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
To get the most out of your leafy greens, use these tricks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Roll up your greens<\/strong>. This will make your greens denser and thus less likely to just \u201cspin around\u201d in your juicer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I got about 1.5 ounces of juice from a single collard green. (Collard greens are a superfood on par with kale. We will highlight this underrated\u00a0green in a later post.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Run your loose greens like spinach (or herbs like parsley) in between apples, carrots, celery, or other hard produce<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, one of my favorite\u00a0juicing\u00a0recipes\u00a0is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Celery Parsley Lemonade<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThread\u201d the parsley through the celery. When the celery goes through the chute, the parsley will juice better because the celery will prevent it from being spun into the pulp bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is another recipe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spinach Apple Carrot Juice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cut the apples into halves. Put 1\/2 of an apple in the juicer chute. Then throw in a bunch of spinach. Then throw the other 1\/2 of the apple on top of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The apples will keep the spinach compacted, thus leading to a higher yield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you follow the above tips, you will get the most green juice possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are going to primarily juice leafy greens, consider purchasing another juicer. I explain why in this\u00a0Juicing Buyer\u2019s Guide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In our guide to\u00a0buying the best juicer\u00a0for you, we noted that every juicer has its own strengths a weaknesses.
