Jack LaLanne Power Juicer GIVEAWAY and review

I actually really like juicing - I have never personally owned my very own juicer up until now but when ever I'm someplace that juices, I'm all over it.  So I was thrilled when I got a shot to check out the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer!

Jack LaLanne juicer looking good


In full disclosure I do freelance work for the company that makes the Jack LaLanne juicer. I do a little television production type stuff but have never worked on the juicer itself. 

When I mentioned to someone in the offices that I would love to try the juicer they were quick to let me try it!  Let me tell you, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. 

When my energy is sinking mid-afternoon and I'm starting to look for stuff to snack on - this has taken the place. Instead of trying to get a boost from another cup of coffee or something sweet - I turn to juicing. I love that now I'm getting fired up with all kinds of yummy vitamins and nutrients.

My favorite recipe is a carrot-apple-ginger juice. I find it to be super tasty.

It's so easy - you just turn the machine on and add the veggies and fruits you want to and voila - the juice comes out.  If you're using organic veggies you don't even have to peel the carrots or anything. I cut up the apple for my recipe because I only use a half an apple for a little sweetness and eat the other half later on.

After checking out my own Jack LaLanne juicer for the last few weeks, I went back to the company and told them about my blog. 

Cheers!

Hello there! I already follow your blog and I "liked" your facebook page. I have looked into getting a juicer before but I just havent had the extra $$ to buy one.

In looking at the recipes I think I would want to try the citrus veggie drink. I think the carrot juice and orange would be delicious!

Hi there, love your story and will be following your blog and on Twitter. I'm originally from Long Island - props to you for running through the weather over there!! Since I moved to CA 3 years ago, I've gone from hating running to running my first 5K-50K on trails. Now I'm going on my third road marathon and have 3 planned for next year! Keep kickin' butt!
