I'm so juicy for my GS-3000.

Chances are, you're not eating enough fruits & vegetables. Its ok, you're not alone.

It is important, scratch that, IMPERATIVE to include fresh produce in your daily diet. Since its not always practical or esthetically cool to carry vegetables or fruit in your hand/man bag I decided that the best alternative was to juice my produce - AND have fun with it.

It is important that you try to eat fresh produce without juicing, I feel even this fantastic juicer cannot fully replace the goodness that comes when you allow you body to do the 'juicing' work for you. I always have fresh salads and munch on whole fruits - when I can.

For the longest time I wanted to own a good juicer. Of course, there are hundreds out there and they each claim to be the best. I dug deeper to find the truth. Thankyou Google.

Without further ado, I would like to present to you the Green Star 3000.

Why I chose the GS-3000 :

• Incredibly well built, solid & durable machine ( This thing will probably out-live me  ).
• It has the unique triturating Twin Gear feature which is an impeller press system. It possesses a powerful RPM ; generating virtually no heat to your juice and thoroughly crushes and presses fruits and vegetables instead of cutting and shredding, allowing you to get the most and best nutritional juice from your produce. Also ;
  
• Juice life is increased. Up to 48 hours in the refrigerator by delaying oxidation.
  
• It juices herbs ( including wheatgrass and sprouts ).
• Its relatively quiet.
• Easy to clean ( literally just rinse and dry ).
• It comes with a whole host of accessories - 
• Breadstick maker.
• Pasta making attachment.
• Homogenizing attachment for making all-natural Sorbets, Nut butters and Baby food.

I can honestly say, making fresh fruit sorbet made me ( and my stomach ) VERY happy. Delicious.

I have yet to make a raw chocolate and cashew nut butter... itll no doubt be amazing. 

I have made so many different juices and have had alot of creative fun with it - here are only a few ive tried :

• Carrot, orange and ginger
• Cucumber, mint and orange.
• Kale, lemon and honey ( Kale is one of the most alkali vegetables out there - tastes rather bitter on its own, adding fruit and natural sweetness helps alot. )
  

You get the idea... the list can go on and on.

Now as much as I could praise this machine till the day ends I must also point out some limitations and downfalls :

• It is frightfully expensive ( around $450 ). -I found the price tag to be a great motivator, to juice as much as I can to get the most out of this machine.
  
• It looks like it was designed in the 80's.
• Its large and heavy.
• The plastic will stain after first use.

I feel ive played my part well, im not biased.

All in all, The pro's outweigh the cons in my book. I love it.

I have formed a habit of late, once every 2-3 weeks I will have a day or two of detox, nothing but natural juices and water. It makes me feel amazing.

My energy levels are through the roof. My caffeine intake has reached a new low because I literally dont feel I need to drink as much ( not easy for a coffee-loving Sicilian ) and I have also noticed my skin texture and clarity has improved - I got that detox glow!
