I have now reached that age, when I finally realise that I need to take more care of myself. Diet and exercise are definitely part of this equation, but what I put into my body is equally important.
So, it is hardly surprising, that I jumped at the opportunity to try out the NEW CASO Design JuiceFit Pro Slow Juicer. My wife was sceptical, and to be fair she has the evidence to support her view that I have a penchant for kitchen gadgets, that take up space and don’t get used. Picture eyebrows heading skyward at this point.
However, I was smitten as soon as I unwrapped the Pro Juicer. First impressions, it was black, sturdy and sleek and best of all it is deceptively easy to use. The fact that it looks stylish on the kitchen counter is a bonus. Cue eyebrow raising from my wife, who reluctantly agrees that it doesn’t take up too much space.
This Juicer delivers professional-quality cold-press juicing and boasts a powerful motor, strong enough to process both hard and soft ingredients reliably, while remaining exceptionally quiet for up to 20 minutes of continuous operation which also minimises heat build-up, helping preserve essential vitamins, nutrients and natural flavours. So far so good. With up to 30% higher juice yield compared to conventional juicers, it is ideal for preparing fresh juices from fruit, vegetables and herbs, ensuring less waste and fuller, more intense taste.
The extra-large 130mm feeding chute makes juicing faster and more convenient, allowing whole fruits and vegetables such as apples, pears, cucumbers, celery, spinach and carrots, as well as ginger, parsley and wheatgrass, to be added without peeling or pre-cutting. The JuiceFit Pro comes with two large 1 litre containers, allowing you to separate the juice and pulp and process larger quantities in one go. Freshly pressed juice flows into one container or directly into a glass while the high-fibre pulp collects in the other, perfect for adding to muesli, soups, or salads.
The Juicer parts are dishwasher safe and can easily be cleaned with the included cleaning brush. Among my many failings apparently, is my penchant for buying too many fruit and vegetables, which in fairness does lead to an overflowing fruit bowl, on its way to the compost bin. But no more, because now I can juice the fruit and add it to yogurt or make a healthy smoothie or just a juice drink. It has reduced waste and hopefully waistline will follow, because those juice drinks are surprisingly filling.
The JuiceFit Pro is a thing of beauty, and I confess to being hypnotised, watching the fruit pulp drop into one container and the juice in the other. I could stand and watch it for hours.
Ooops there go the eyebrows again.
