Running a vegan raw-foods catering company has never been any easy task. Between the gigs that fall through and the unsatisfied customers, we never really expect anything positive. That’s why I was thrilled to bring the Green Star Juicer to work and make our family just a little bigger and a little brighter. There’s nothing that this juicer can’t obliterate into healthy juices and dried out pulp.
The Green Star Juicer is the Cadillac of juicers. It utilizes exclusive Heavy Duty twin gear technology – you can tell when it just rips through that wet parsley. Most important to note about the Green Star juicer is that you will lose no nutrients in the juicing process. The majority of juicers run at such high speeds (10,000-rpm or more) that the enzymes in the leafy vegetables are destroyed. What’s the point of juicing if it isn’t healthy? The Green Star juicer runs at such a low speed, but with such strength, that you efficiently juice at low-temperatures (heat is another threat to enzymes, and, again, most juicers juice at high-heat).

Green Star Juicer Benefits
Best of all, the Green Star Juicer doubles as a food processor! I can start my day off at work with a refreshing kale-spinach-wheatgrass juice with extra yeast, and then turn that juicer right around into a food processor and start assembling (raw-food requires assembling, not cooking). And when I’m all done with the Green Star juicer, I quickly take it apart, wash it, set the parts out to dry, and when I’m ready to use it again it takes less than thirty-seconds of reassembly. It’s these kinds of design improvements that make Green Star a leader in customer satisfaction.
Lastly, I simply enjoy how the Green Star Juice Extractor looks in my kitchen. It’s well designed and fits in to any cooking space. I frequently receive compliments about the juicer, and everyone’s interested to learn about it and try out some the results. It’s hard for me to imagine using another juicer, and with the 10-year warranty I doubt I will ever need to. If it dies after 10-years of use, I’ll just buy another one – it’s that good.
And for all you raw-food enthusiasts out there, I highly recommend Jennifer Cornbleet’s groundbreaking treatise, Raw Food Made Easy for 1 or 2 People. Cornbleet’s thesis is simple: as human beings, we are living creatures (obviously!). So how is it possible for us to thrive on other living creatures? The truth is that we can’t. We need to eat raw, and it’s the only way to turn this country’s poor diet around. Although we’re seeing a bit of a lull in the demand for raw-food catering, I’m more than optimistic that we’ll see a rebound in interest (*fingers crossed for Obama’s stimulus*). Cornbleet’s book has easy to make dishes, many of which require the juicing capabilities of the Green Star juicer. The Green Star Juicer and Cornbleet’s Raw Food Made Easy for 1 or 2 People are inseparable, like two peas in a pod.
Green Star Juicer Customer Reviews
Jeremy from Texas says that the Green Star juicer is perfect for his line of work as raw-foods chef: “I’ve been juicing since the early 1990s and more recently, as a certified raw foods associate chef, have been preparing a wider range of juicer recipes including pates and ice cream from frozen bananas. I have experience with Green Star, Champion, Juiceman, and several other juicers, and have read quite a bit about various models of juicers. If you are going to be juicing a lot of greens such as kale and parsley, the Green Star will give you a better and more nutritious yield than any juicer on the market. It far exceeds masticating juicers such as the Champion in this regard, as well as centrifugal juicers such as the Juiceman. A huge benefit of Green Star is that it juices wheat grass, so you will not need a dedicated wheat grass juicer. It’s also amazingly quiet, far quieter (and a bit slower) than my Champion. And like the Champion, it does a great job with pates, frozen ice cream, and other recipes requiring a homogenizing blade, also known as a ‘blank.’ With a slower speed, the juice does not heat up as much as with a Champion and oxidizes slower. Oxidation is any chef’s worst nightmare, as it leaves a less nutritional product and can strain the taste.
And Barney from Louisiana is thrilled with his Green Star juicer: “The machine is not perfect obviously, and if you overload it or try to put soft fruit into it through the fine screen it will ooze pulp through the cracks of the gear housing, but when you run it properly and clean it properly this juicer works like a champ. It’s not as fragile as I was afraid it would be and it has juiced 40 lb bags of carrots at a shot just taking a single break in the middle as recommended in the user’s guide. I would recommend that if you plan to juice soft fruits like pineapple, to get a coarse screen (which doesn’t come with the GS-1000). The fine screen backs up and while the blank works okay, you get all the pulp with the juice as well (which I don’t mind but some people might not like that). For wheat grass and hard vegetables, this juicer is ideal with the fine screen. I have quite the opposite of buyer’s remorse here, and I’m very glad I made this purchase. I’ve been able to make my own juices, saving money on store-bought juice and getting better quality juice as well since it’s made fresh. I think in a few more months this juicer will have paid for itself.”
Take it from someone with health on their mind: the Green Star Juice Extractor is the juicer for you. Buy this product.
