Breville AWT JE2 juicer

We've had the AWT juicer for a while now, and it's become a staple in our kitchen. The AWT juicer is used to extract the juice from fruit and vegetables, discarding the fibrous pulp into a container on the side. Juicing is said to have many benefits, giving your body an instant boost of nutrients, enzymes, vitamins in a form that your body can instantly access, as it doesn't have to digest the fibre. Regular juicing can increase immunity and offer some protection to things like heart disease. So why not just buy ready prepared juices from the supermarket? Well, if you have ever tasted a fresh juice then you wouldn't even ask! Many of the products on the supermarket ...  Read the complete review

If you have read my opinion on my trip to Ayurveda UK, you will doubtless know that I have turned over a new leaf, with regards to nutrition and health. (Well ok, apart from the few glasses of wine on Friday night, last, but I had an excuse for those). It is with this in mind that I bought the Breville AWT Juice Extractor.

What I hadn't realised before was that cooked vegetables lose a lot ...  Read the complete review

I've been a big fan of juicing fruit for some time. My girlfriend used to work for Wild Oats in Notting Hill, London, in the juice bar, so she knows a little about making good juice! I looked at buying a commercial juicer similar to those used in health stores, but these run from £250-350. A quick search of the consumer market and I realised that there was a real lack of tough, high capacity juicers for people who want to make juice on a daily basis. There were plenty of plasticky, budget models from Phillips and Kenwood, but nothing like I wanted - it looked like I would have to pay £250-350 for a professional model. The problem with the smaller ...  Read the complete review
