Banana and Blueberry Smoothie

breakfast smoothie

One of my favorite smoothie recipes is blending bananas with some berries and water. The bananas make up the bulk of the calories and the berries help to add extra flavor and sweetness. It’s so easy to make. The “recipe” you should follow comes down to how thick vs how thin you like your smoothies. I’d say I like mine “medium” – in other words, a thick drink. Not so thick I need a spoon, nor too liquidy that it’s like water! A fruity breakfast [...]

Comparing the Omega VRT350HD and Omega J8006

If you’ve read the reviews I’ve written for two of the juicers that I own, the Omega VRT350HD and the Omega J8006, you’ll know that the former is a vertical masticating juicer while the latter is a horizontal masticating device. Even if you’ve narrowed your options down this far, when it comes to choosing between these two models, it can still be really difficult to decide which one to buy.

Super Angel Juicer Price

If you’re at all like me you’d be somewhat hesitant before spending a four figure sum on a juicer. The best price I’ve found for the Super Angel 5500 juicer is round about $1,000.

My friend Karen bought herself a Vitamix TNC recently and when I visited her the other day I got to see it in action, first hand. When I asked her if [...]

Omega VRT350HD

You can see that this masticating juicer from Omega is different from their horizontal style units such as the Omega J8006. In many ways, it looks quite like a centrifugal juicer. But in actual fact it is a vertical incarnation of the style of machine upon which Omega have built their reputation. Omega VRT350HD Review You can tell by the two spouts on this juicer that it is not a typical centrifugal unit. In actual fact, the larger spout is where the juice comes out [...]

Green Star GS-1000

The Green Star range of juicers are really cool. They are similar to masticating juicers like the Omega J8006 in many ways. That said, there are some major differences. To begin with, this is a twin gear juicer. When we talk of masticating juicers, we normally refer to ones with just one gear, or auger. The Green Star GS-1000 on the other hand, makes use of two gears that rotate in different directions between which there is a tiny gap where the fruits and vegetables [...]
