The biggest problem with fruits is their high sugar content.  It may be natural sugar, but at the end of the day, it is still a simple sugar.  Consuming too much will cause the body to store the excess as fat and can result in weight gain.

One consequence that plagues many people today is tooth decay, because bacteria grows faster when there is a lot of sugar present.  This can lead to cavities, gingivitis, periodontitus and more.

Another consequence is fatigue.  The body responds quickly to the rapid change in blood sugar level, then comes crashing back down to earth after it has used up so much energy to restore its level.  The constant ups and downs cause plenty of stress on the body and can result in chronic fatigue.

Then there are the very serious problems, including high blood pressure, diabetes, and hypoglycemia.  To put it simply, overconsumption of sugar is very bad for you!

This should not discourage you from juicing fruits.  It is only meant as a caution.  It is quite easy to get almost a full serving of fruits for the day with just one or two juicer recipes and you can take in a lot of sugar without even realizing it.  To balance it out, also focus on vegetable juicing recipes as well.

If you are in the habit of only making juicer recipes with fruits, then you should compensate for it by reducing the amount of sugar you consume (assuming you eat a lot of sugar) in other areas of your diet.  At the very least, even if you were to replace every sugary product you eat with some form of a fruit, you would be getting lots of nutrients also instead of just sugar.

All in all, let’s just keep the sugary juicer recipes in check!

If you want to take juicing seriously, then an auger juicer is the way to go, as they are extremely versatile.  They can juice vegetables, fruits, and even wheatgrass to make limitless juicer recipes. They also have other functions, including the capability to make nut butters, grind coffee beans, homogenize foods, and some can even make homemade pasta!

An auger juicer works with a rotating auger that will literally crush and press the juice out of your produce, which extracts an incredible amount of juice.  It rotates at a very low RPM, which generates little heat.  Because there is less heat, there is less oxidation, which means that less nutrients and enzymes are killed off in the juicing process.  Another benefit of a low RPM is how little noise it makes.  Compared to other juicers, such as a centrifugal juicer, an auger juicer creates much heartier and more nutritious juicer recipes.

An auger juicer is the best juicer for “green” foods, such as wheatgrass and leafy greens, whose juice is hard to extract.  Wheatgrass is a popular juicing food known for its high chlorophyll content.  Leafy greens include lettuce, broccoli and spinach.  Foods that cannot be juiced are soft produce, such as bananas and avocados, which will cause it to clog and leave an annoying mess to clean, since they contain relatively little juice.  However, these types of produce are generally not used in juicer recipes.

If you choose to purchase an auger juicer, then expect to spend some money.  Then can range anywhere from $200 and up.  However, it is easy to justify the price with the many uses and the many juicer recipes you can create, though the biggest advantage it has over a centrifugal juicer is the health benefits.  It can press a lot of juice out of fruits and vegetables, while preserving more of the enzymes and nutrients.  The auger juicer that I use is the Omega 8005.  It is an excellent machine and I have never been unhappy with it since the day I got it.

If you want something primarily for juicing vegetables, wheatgrass, or just about anything in the kitchen, and if you don’t mind spending more for a juicer that will really get the most out of your juicer recipes, you should definitely invest in an auger juicer.
