How to Use a Juicer

A 60 recipe juicing book written for Nama cold press owners, aimed at the common problem of owning the machine but cycling through the same two or three juices.

Recipes are organized around wellness goals rather than ingredient type, so you choose a juice by what you want from it that morning.

Page Street Publishing issues it as a standard paperback cookbook, compact enough to live on the counter next to the juicer instead of on a shelf.

Quantities are tuned to Nama cold press yields, so owners of other juicer styles will need to adjust volumes and expect different output.

Best for new Nama owners who want a structured recipe rotation instead of guessing produce ratios.

Build a weekly rotation: pick three recipes, combine their ingredient lists into one shop, and prep all the produce in a single session.

Use the goal based chapters when you want something specific, such as a greens heavy start to the day or a lighter citrus juice after a heavy meal.

Pairs well as a gift alongside a Nama juicer, since it gives a first time owner immediate direction on day one.

A single-auger cold press juicer built for people who quit juicing greens because celery and kale tangled the screw and clogged narrow chutes.

The 5.4-inch chute accepts whole apples and packed greens, while 40 RPM extraction runs under 80 degrees to hold vitamin C and chlorophyll intact.

BPA-free detachable bowl, strainer, and juice cup keep footprint small for compact counters, with a high-torque motor sized for ginger and beetroot.

Masticating speed is the tradeoff: it presses slower than a centrifugal juicer, so a family-sized batch is not a two-minute job.

Best for daily green juicers who prioritize yield, nutrient retention, and quiet operation over raw speed.

Wash produce and drop it in whole. Apples, pears, and full leaves fit the 5.4-inch chute, so skip the cutting board unless something exceeds the opening.

Alternate soft and hard items. Follow a handful of spinach with apple or beet so the auger keeps pushing fiber through instead of packing it against the screen.

If the auger stalls, hold the REV button three to five seconds to back the jam out, then resume. Rinse parts with the brush immediately after juicing.

A hand-operated citrus press that solves the mess of squeezing lemons by hand, where juice runs down your wrist and seeds land in the food.

The lever handle uses arm leverage instead of grip strength, requiring 40 percent less force, while the filter screen catches seeds and pulp as you press.

Built from thickened food-grade BPA-free polypropylene, it resists odor absorption and citrus acid, and the bend-resistant handle holds shape through repeated pressing.

Plastic will not feel as solid as metal presses, and the capacity is limited to lemons, limes, and small oranges.

Best for home cooks and home bartenders who juice citrus regularly and have limited drawer space.

Cut citrus in half crosswise, place a half cut-side down in the bowl, and press the lever in one steady motion for maximum yield.

Use it for cocktail mixing, salad dressings, marinades, lemon bars, and finishing fish or vegetables with fresh juice.

Rinse immediately after pressing so pulp does not dry in the filter, then fold flat and drop it in the drawer.

A single auger masticating juicer built to solve the reason most juicers get shelved: the fifteen minutes of chopping before you get a single glass.

The 5.8-inch chute swallows whole apples and large kale bunches, while the 300W high-torque motor handles carrots and beets without bogging down mid-press.

Juice-contact parts are BPA-free, and the mesh-less filter and dishwasher-safe components mean cleanup is a rinse rather than a screen-scrubbing session.

Worth knowing: this is a newer listing without a track record, so there is no long-run owner feedback on how the auger and motor age.

Best for a household that wants fresh juice on weekday mornings and will only stick with it if prep and cleanup stay under a few minutes.

Assemble the auger and juicing bowl, then set your pitcher and pulp cup before switching on. Wash produce and remove pits and thick citrus peel; smaller items still go in whole.

Feed slowly and let the auger pull each piece down rather than pushing hard. Alternate hard produce like carrots with soft fruit or leafy greens to keep the auger clearing itself.

Rinse the bowl and auger right after your last batch, before pulp dries on. Use the included brush on the auger threads, then load the dishwasher-safe parts.
