Healthy Juicer: #KidsJuiceToo Review & #GIVEAWAY!

Disclaimer: I was sent a Wheatgrass Juicer for review and giveaway purposes.  I was not compensated in any other way.

Remember when I told you yesterday that I was going to have a review and giveaway of a cool new wheatgrass juicer?  Well here it is!



When the Healthy Juicer company reached out to me to try out their juicer for their Kids Juice Too campaign, I was super intrigued.  D has been taking a gardening class at his school and has become super interested in vegetables and juicing.  So when I told him about this project, he was super excited!


Since it arrived, he has been bugging me about getting some "leafy greens" so we could get started!


Here is the base.  It clamps down to any counter or table.


Here is my boy D with all the ingredients for our Apple Spinach Juice!


Here he is demonstrating how easy it is to turn the handle.


Here comes the juice!


Then of course, when D does something, S needs to be involved too.  So here SHE is demonstrating how easy the juicing is.  


Now time for the spinach!


Look how pretty and green that is!


Enough juice for the whole family out of one Honeycrisp apple and half a bag of spinach.


CHEERS!  It was really delicious!


I will say I was a little surprised at how much fiber and pulp is left over after juicing.  Look at that gorgeous green spinach.  


You could throw it in some muffins, pasta sauce or meatballs.  Or you could be a mean mom and make your kid eat the apple spinach fiber ball!


Here are some articles on the benefits of juicing:

-  The Healing Properties of Juicing
-  Juicing for Children
-  5 Health Benefits of Juicing

So now, I am giving away a Healthy Wheatgrass Juicer to one of you lucky readers!  (value $49.99)  Great way to start the new year on a healthy note!  You know the drill.  Enter on the Rafflecopter!

  8. I always wonder about what one does with all that fibre/pulp left over. Could you put it in baking or tomato sauce or soup? Hmmmm. Looks like fun though.

  25. I love the idea of using the pulp to bake. Juicing and baking- two great activities to included kids.

  26. For me for sure! My kids are fruit juice though, so apple juice could be fun, and I could sneak in some other things. Actually the making of it sounds right up their alley!
