I'm excited about a juicer I've ordered for health reasons

Now that I am in full remission from breast cancer aka cancer-free, I am very involved in taking active steps to keep it that way permanently. I am working out some; however, I could and should do a lot more of that. I am also finding more and more ways to eat healthy-type foods.

I bought one juicer from Wal-Mart that worked fairly well. It was called a Ninja Master Prep. You can watch these two Associated Content.com videos watching how to make snow and how to make one particular juice drink I like.

The juicer works fairly well; however, it does not make the juice as fine as I would like. I end up almost eating my drink rather than drinking to some extent. So I made up my mind that I would like to order a juicer that has more bells and whistles.

After doing a lot of research, I decided to order a Breville Juicer Fountain Plus. It has an 850 watts motor. The juicer sells for $149.95. My husband isn't totally thrilled that I bought one that is rather on the expensive side; however, when you take into account what I have been through and never wish to go through again, than the price is much more worth it.

I found this YouTube video that describes how you put the juicer together. It looks relatively easy to do. Ease-of-use was one of my considerations. I also read a lot of reviews on-line of this juicer and several others. This one seemed to have the most positive reviews. That was really important to me as well. It also sounds like clean-up won't be too bad.

I found this video to be helpful as well:

One site suggested that I put a plastic produce bag inside the pulp catcher. That sounds like a great idea.

My current thoughts is that I may use the Ninja to make the snow. I use the Breville Juicer Fountain Plus to make the juice. Then I pour the juice over the slush and have a really healthy slushy to drink. I may find, however, that I enjoy the juice without having to have a bunch of ice mixed in. I will have to wait and see.

Now the countdown begins. I ordered the juicer the evening of December 6th. The expected arrival date is either December 13 or 14. I am hoping, of course, that it will arrive sooner than that. I will keep you posted.

I wish all of you good health and a very happy day!
