true.
IF the goal is maximum nutrition a blender makes more sense than a juicer because most of
the nutrition is (usually) discarded after extracting the liquid.
a simple walmart blender for 50 bucks will grind up some strawberries, and a banana, or whatever and just add a little milk or orange juice and drink it down.
a favorite of mine is a cup of blueberries, a banana, 2 scoops of chocolate whey protein, some ice and a little milk, makes a really nice low cal "shake" that tastes good and fills you up like a meal, really good after the daily bike ride, as a plus the blender on high speed mixes air into it so it makes it thick like a shake, don't drink it all?---then stick it in the freezer and you have low cal "ice cream" to eat while watching tv at night.
but, if you must have a juicer the jack lalane deal is ok, nice machine at good price, i've seen them at costco, about a 100 bucks i think. LOTS of them for sale on ebay from folks who drank a lot of sweet juice but couldn't figure out why they still had the big belly.
