Green Juice

[MushroomedAnymore]

Actually with a Juice Man juicer (only $90 in USA) you can make a massive amount of green juice from several heads of celery and lettuce plus cucumbers in under ten minutes. The quality of extraction is not as high as the Champion, but it is better for a beginner or just if you're addicted to juice and want to drink it like a caveman! By the way, Karen Knowler is hot!

[jungle625]

thanks all the way from florida usa

[sslm1972]

would you drink this as a meal replacement?

[karenknowler]

@sslm1972 You can do, but as it's not very high in calories, it wouldn't sustain you very long.

[FLHobby1]

Great video! You're beautiful!

[burbanmadness]

thats not fast the breville can take a whole head of celery

[jasan509]

yummy

[GamerAlesa]

How many calories would be in glass of green juice?

[heightboosting]

the phillips juicer is better :)) 1861 phillips :)))

[Ms1donna]

where is the recipe for the green juice?

[TheLoserKingdom]

I hate being the only 16 year old who loves his greens! No one can understand why I want to get a vitamix and a dehydrator to kick start my raw food diet! Everyone thinks I'm weird.

[977561]

@TheLoserKingdom I've been there too, I used to have to argue with my mother to get her to buy more fruit and vegetables (our fridge was full of processed foods) I ended up saving up and buying a dehydrator and vitamix on ebay. I don't think you're weird, you just understand that it's important to look after yourself, but remember that you can still start a raw food diet without the equipment, I just started with a £20 juicer. Take care and keep doing what you feel is right for you, Micaela :)

[Kirpope]

You can use the pulp to make "crackers" in the dehydrator! : )

[rewindyourpants]

is there a way to make dandelion green juice less...bitter as hell?

[ANappturalBeauty]

I guess that is true if it is dried out completely during the juicing process. Mine is usually pretty wet bc I have to use a blender and a paint strainer to make my green juice.

[karenknowler]

@ANappturalBeauty Ah well that would explain it!

[ANappturalBeauty]

You are missing out. It is about the same as simply making a green smoothie. You add the pulp to a fruit smoothie so it isn't just waste. The video was great though.

[karenknowler]

@ANappturalBeauty I can't imagine it would taste good with all the juice (flavour) having been extracted through juicing?

[ANappturalBeauty]

have you ever tried using the pulp to make flax seed crackers or putting it in a green smoothie later in the day?

[karenknowler]

@ANappturalBeauty No because I think it would be gross!

[Irisheyes77christy]

I am curious, is there a difference between juicing and just eating the food whole? It looks like you wasted/lose of the food by juicing. Plus, it is not in it's natural form. I do not know a lot about this, so maybe I am missing the point here.

[karenknowler]

@Irisheyes77christy It's simply about getting more nutrients into the body more quickly and easily. Most people do not chew well or eat enough fresh produce, juicing takes care of that.

[graciousSenor]

I'm all about quick and easy.

That's what she said! haha

[karenknowler]

@graciousSenor So I did : )

[graciousSenor]

"I'm all about quick and easy." That's what she said!!! HAHA

[svntsvn]

english rose. hotness.

[miguel552003]

why in raw food diet we cant eat fish?i dont understand?

[karenknowler]

@miguel552003 It's up to you what you eat. Most raw food diets are vegetarian or vegan, but some are not.

[theprokofiev]

Hi Karen, Thanks for your films they're very helpful. I've just started juicing having bought a vital max juicier but I'm after a jug with a sieve like yours, would you tell me where you bought it or did it come with the champion?

Thanks.

[karenknowler]

@theprokofiev Mine came with the Oscar juicer (also known as Samson)... ring up a juicer supplier and see if they will sell you one separately - most will : )

[metaspherz]

Please note: It's common practice with the Champion as with most auger-type (single & dual) extractors to reintroduce the wetter pulp back through the feed tube for even greater extraction. My experience with dual augers is that it's less necessary. I started juicing in the late sixties with a food grinder and apple cider press thanks to my father's health food stores. We used reusable cloth bags or cheesecloth. The pulp after pressing was always dry as a brick. Btw we never juiced greens.

[karenknowler]

@metaspherz Yes, sometimes I do re-introduce the wet pulp back in but have not found it to make a massive amount of difference. The Champion is limited in what it can extract however many times you put it back through, but it's still my favourite juicer.

[ceh2559]

I noticed you had some juice left over, would it keep for the whole day? Like to take the remainder to work?

[metaspherz]

Fresh juice is one of the most perishable foods there is. Think how fast sliced apples brown. Air & enzymes begin to cause oxidated injury to phytonutrients & some vitamins almost immediately after juicing. Adding an acid like lemon juice or a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar will help to keep nutrients up to 24 hours. 2 - 8 hours for leafy green juice. Store the leftover juice in the fridge in an opaque glass container filled to the top with a tight lid. Store in a full thermos to take to work.

[Chessylad1974]

Yet Another Fantastic Video Karen

And Nice To See Someone From England Doing A Wheat grass Video AAA*****

[heyoehkah]

I see a woman like this and am ready to go 100% raw.

[ageslibra]

i dont care what everybody else is saying your hot.......p.s.great vid

[1955JOEYW]

Karen,

I have a Jack Lalanne juicer that seems to leave the pulp a little wet also. The juiceman juicer I've had for 7yrs seems to have drier pulp. However you have to cut the fruits & veggies with the juiceman.

I keep the juiceman in work & Jack's at home.

Have you used any other juicers?

[cellulitelove]

Looks like it needs to be diluted with water. I'm juice fasting right now and the juices are soooooo tasty that I have no cravings for anything else. Juice fasting is definitely easier than the master cleanse or water fast.

[CiccioItalianCafe]

great informative video shame about the comments about it being 80's looking, I like Retro

[Squabbles10]

Green Juice and its components must do something to the chest area !!!

Thanks darling .....

[jhardknox]

about the 80s thing..

change the cupboards and counter top to modern kitchen style.

dont use or show the analog clock. if you want a clock use a digital perhaps, but i would just remove it for filiming

the graphics and sound effects you are using is out dated. the intro music is 80s, so there you go. and the graphics are too heavy. IMO you don't even need to use graphics. if you are oging to use graphics for font, or titles, then use something that is less blocky, and more curvey.

[karenknowler]

Ah well, thanks for this. The newer vids (these are about 3 years old) are in a different kitchen and without music... for that reason!

[ACEBAKER911]

The champion is a HORRIBLE machine for Greens, its very inefficient wastes alot of produce, and heats up the juice alot

[karenknowler]

@ACEBAKER911 I agree that it is inefficient with greens but it doesn't heat up my juice

[isaachaze1]

she's super hot, smart and giving us good advice; no one cares about your complaints (no offense)

[knuffies2007]

well first of all it's the sound mostly.. very techno. and 80's. you can use a different kind of music.. more something from 2000, and the picture you can change it in like some pictures of you doing what you do... and some tekst... like.. whatthebuck is doing.. I know its NOT what you do..but I mean... the intro..only more serious, because whathebuck is all BUT serious!

[knuffies2007]

the whole show has a very 80's look, and sounds...spice it up a bit;-)

[karenknowler]

I agree - what do you suggest? : )

[PianoDragon7]

When I juice, I don't mind it being a little bitter cause I'm in it for the nutrition. So, I'll put in a few carrots, an apple or two, a full sized celery stick or two, and the rest is collard greens, spinach, kale, and swiss chard. Sometimes, I add some broccoli. It's quite strong, but it's the healthiest thing in the world.

[bigbigditty]

Don't forget that apple seeds contain natural arsenic. If juicing apples regularly you should remove the seeds as the juicer will crush them releasing it. I suppose you'd have to juice a lot of apples, but hey, rather safe than sorry.

I love my juicer & juices!

Great video Karen, thanks!

[karenknowler]

You don't have to worry about that, honestly. Yes they contain arsenic but as you say, you would have to eat/juice a ton to suffer negative effects.

[isaachaze1]

good to know :). i always wondered about that

[fishandfestival]

You look great!

[isaachaze1]

she's not hard to look at :)

[fluturaku]

I take spinach every day...is it wrong? i don`t feel nothing bad so far...

[karenknowler]

Not necessarily wrong, just something to keep an eye on if you do it month after month after month.

[toxicKt]

can you juice wheatgrass with the champion juicer?

[karenknowler]

No, you need a "green juicer" for that such as the Green Star, Samson or Miracle Wheatgrass Juicer.

[metaspherz]

@karenknowler The Samson 6 in 1 looks ideal since it's a true multi-tasker for $299 and under. It does pasta, baby foods, nut milks, and juices greens too. Thanks for the suggestion.

[Winterstick549]

For everyone concerned about the lack of fiber in juicing, I add the fiber at the end that disolves in drinks.

[karenknowler]

My reply is that if someone is concerned about lack of fibre they would be better to make a smoothie and not have the angst!

[Godisogood]

can you tell where you got the container with built in strainer for catching the juice? i'd love to have one. thanks!

[vanilluv81]

you can dehydrate the pulp and powder it for herbal recipes, soups, or even just feed it to animals like dogs, chickens, horses :)~

[karenknowler]

I personally drink spinach juice at least 4x a week with no negative side effects, but I cannot (for legal reasons) give medical/nutritional advice because I am not qualified to do so. Perhaps there are nutritionists reading who can do so? Either way it's a good idea to vary greens, yes.

[wendypape]

Just curious if you should alternate your 'greens' or can you drink the same one everyday? I thought I read spinach should only be 1-2 x per week because of the oxylic (sp?) acid. Would love to know. thanks!

[wendypape]

I have to say I absolutely LOVE your videos. I have been dabbling in this for about 3 yrs but I have been either pregnant or breastfeeding so haven't jumped right in yet. ;-) I must have 10 raw food books/cookbooks and yet I have received more good ideas and inspiration from watching you then any of those books! You look fit and very healthy (unlike some of those other raw foodists) so obviously this is really working for you! Way to go! What a role model for young (and us older) women LOL

[LittleEmoBoy001]

ur so pretty cant believe ur 36 i thought u were 20. it proves ur diet works for you ma'm.

[SpecialK327]

I just started juicing greens everyday and I love it!

[charityjunebug]

I love your videos, Karen!  What a great public service :)

[waynebw]

Oh no, all the pulp/fibre is gone! Thats got tones of vitamins and also lowers the GI of the juice :-/  Blending is much better :)

[jasadin]

Do you use the Champion Juicer for wheatgrass also?

[raspberrybaggio]

ooh, she says she's quick and easy:) How exciting:)

[ruthshivani]

Cor there a lots of them, they are brill, didnt know they were here. thanks for posting them up!

[rmsolympic1]

pretty, pretty lady and a very informative video. It looked pretty simple to make and quite tasty.

[boggles50livecouk]

wow

[74veracruz]

you forgot carrots very important for this kind of jiuces

[mziluus]

frozen spinach??

[karenknowler]

No way :)

[susique333]

What a wonderful series of videos, youre quite the teacher! In response to the person above who asked if you can juice in the blender, the answer is yes! I have also found that you can buy paint strainer bags at most hardware stores and theyre identical (only cheaper) to the nut milk bags bought at healthfood places, to strain your wheatgrass, etc juice. Please keep these  videos coming!

[missmeliss1124]

You have great skin, I'm sure a result of your healthy diet!

[MONKEYJUDO]

AWESOME...

[AcousticAutotune]

That looks healthy! Great video.

[acermann1961]

Love your videos Karen :O) I am now about 95% all RAW vegan and do many juices and recipies myself. It's great to see so many people bringing this in a fun and easy way. Hopefully many of our fast food places will be replaced with more and more healthy choices for living.

Cheers!

Kino ;O)

[Username2046]

Can I do this with the blender?

[karenknowler]

You could and then strain, unless you like it all lumpy!

[zifikos]

Thanks for the info. Even tho it looks like some kinda poison, I will try it :))

[CoolAffan]

good video! I dont have a juicer so i just blend it with vitamix and drink it! :)

[montgomerysarah]

Great video Karen. Looking forward to your next!
