Juicer Review & Giveaway | SPUD Edmonton

Our team recently partnered with SPUD Edmonton on a juicer review and here are my thoughts:

Fresh Juice is Delicious

I must say you really can taste (and see) the difference between fresh; slow pressed juice and the regular ol’ stuff you buy at the grocery store. Not to mention that you know exactly what is in your cup aka all the good stuff and no hard to pronounce “preservatives”.

Super Simple to Use

I will admit that I originally thought juicing would be a complicated process that would show little reward for all of my effort but after using the Hurom Slow Juicer everyday (sometimes twice a day) for a week my opinion has changed! It was super easy to make different types of juice and my two & three year old loved helping out with the process too.

**Pro-tip: Cut your fruit and/or vegetables into small pieces (1-2 inches) to get the most out of each piece**

Kids love it!

Not only did my kids love that we made our own juice but they (mostly) loved the final product too! Honestly though I set my expectations low and was pleasantly surprised by their reaction. All three of my children were happy to taste the different juices that I/we created and my two year old drank a full [small] glass almost every time. One day I made a veggie juice with red pepper; celery; parsley; kale & ginger and I loved it but thought there was no way my kids would touch it; the two year old surprised me again with polishing off a small glass full.

**Pro-tip: Adding greens, such as kale to your juice will change the colour to a brown shade and if your child asks if you have chocolate and if they can have some resist the urge to lie to them about said drink containing chocolate but do encourage them to taste it. **

Would absolutely love a juicer! <3

Awesome Blog 🙂

Oranges and grapefruits! Love fresh orange and grapefruit juice!

Been shopping at Spud for a couple months now. I have been wanting to try out the juicing boxes, now all I need is a juicer!

I’d love to try juicing! Always wanted to try juicing beets!

love fresh juice!! What a great way to get essential nutrients.

Thanks for the ideas! My little guy is not eating much right now, so I will give these a try.

I would like to try the “essential greens” box. It’s tricky getting two 3 year olds to eat their green.

Would love a way to get my son to eat his veggies!

Would love to try your recipe with the kale.

Yummy hubby and I wanted to start juicing for a little while now…..something about orange and pineapple get my mouth watering 😉
Thanks for the opportunity!
