Champion Juicer Reviews

My favorite fruit juices extracted with Champion Juicer always revolve around pineapple and  green papaya. Both fruits are nature’s healing fruits. They are found in abundance in the Tropics.

Raw Pineapple juice extracted with Champion Juicer is packed with nutrients, minerals, antioxidant, Vitamin C, B1 and a powerful protein-digesting enzyme called Bromelain. It stimulates the kidney, possesses diuretic properties and relieves intestinal disorders. Raw pineapple juice improves the condition of one’s digestive system effectively.

Bromelain is a natural anti-inflammatory agent which promotes overall healing to bodily injuries, swelling, arthritis, sore throat, colitis, hemorrhoids and menstrual disorders.  Raw pineapple juice is believed to be able to reduce blood clots in the blood streams as well.

Always use ripened pineapple which has sweet aroma and heavy in weight. Avoid pineapple that gives out unpleasant fermented smell or have dark soft spots. Peel the outer skin and remove the eyes using a sharp knife. Segment the fruit lengthwise into eight  long pieces and feed into Champion Juicer’s feeding chamber at a constant speed.

Here’s a couple of delicious Champion Juicer recipes which form a base to any pineapple cocktails and anti-flu juice.

Champion Juicer’s Pineapple Healing Juice

• 3 slices of pineapple segments
• 1/4 inch fresh ginger root
• 2 green apple (remove skin and seeds)

Champion Juicer’s Tropical Pineapple Delight

• 3 slices of pineapple segments
• 1 green lime (seeds removed, skin retained)

Champion Juicer Tips:-  Feed the pineapple pieces at a steady speed one piece at a time to avoid foaming during extraction. in fact, you need to apply the same method when juicing soft fruits with Champion Juicer.

I am in the mood for some healthy, nutrient packed cool summer treats this week. Frozen desserts need not be loaded with sugar content and calories if we care to make creative variations to its original recipe. This healthy fun popsicles recipe using the Champion Juicer  is so easy and you can even involve your young children. Instill in them an awareness for healthy eating habits since young so that it becomes their way of life.

Champion Juicer’s Healthy Fun Popsicles (suitable for the lactose intolerant)

• 3.5 oz (100g) Strawberries
• 3.5 oz (100g) ripe Bananas, peeled
• 2.5 cups Kefir milk or yogurt
• 1/3 cup raw organic honey
• 1 cup warm water

Melt the raw organic honey in the warm water and let it cool down before you blend in the Kefir milk. Separate Kefir mixtures into 2 equal portions. Use Champion Juicer  blank to homogenize the strawberries and bananas separately. Rinse juicer parts by running cool water through the feeding chamber of Champion Juicer while it is operating.

In separate mixing bowls, add homogenized strawberries and bananas to each portion of Kefir mixture and blend well. Pour fruit mixtures into popsicle moulds of your choice and freeze till solid.

Be creative to form these  Champion Juicer’s Healthy Fun Popsicles into different shapes and sizes. It makes an ideal summer afternoon snacks or even an interesting finger dessert during your child’s birthday party.

I could not imagine what I would miss out in life without the Champion Juicer. After the Lemon Kefir Ice Cream, I experimented with an old fashioned Vanilla flavored Ice Cream which I think it’s nice. To it, I added banana to give a unique fragrance and creamy texture.

Banana is one of the most nutritious energy generating fruits on planet earth. It contains fiber, rich in potassium and high level of vitamins and minerals. Vitamins A, C, a full range of the B vitamins, Calcium, Riboflavin, Thiamine, Niacin,  Magnesium, traces of Iron, Zinc and Folic Acid are all found in varying amounts in one banana.

Again, I took out the regular milk and replaced it with the all time good and healthy Kefir milk and cream. You may use yogurt if you are not able to get kefir milk. You, the lactose intolerant, are going to love me for this recipe.

Champion Juicer’s Banana Kefir Ice Cream

• 1 quart (1 liter) Kefir milk or yogurt
• 2 cups Kefir cream
• 1/4 cups raw organic honey
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla
• 3 eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 ripe bananas, peeled

Homogenize the bananas with Champion Juicer. Whisk all ingredients to form a smooth mixture. Pour mixture into a freezing tray and freeze for 2 hours. Use a fork to scrape the mixture. Repeat this every 2 hours for a couple of times.

Leave the mixture to freeze till fully solid. Slice the solid into long strips. Feed through the Champion Juicer’s feeding chamber. Use Champion Juicer homogenize blank the same way you would for the sorbet.

Serve immediately or store in freezer container. This Champion Juicer ice cream recipe yields approximately 2 quarts of delicious ice cream.

Indulge yourself this summer with the joy of ice cream and goodness of Kefir.

What’s next ? Fun popsicles perhaps.

I do not know about you, being an advocate for healthy food, the thought of consuming a generous scoop of ice cream would overwhelm me with guilt. The plain truth is, I love ice cream !! The high sugar and diary content in the ice cream would make me frown but the sensation of having the smooth ice cream melt in the mouth is phenomenal. To some of you ice cream lovers who are unfortunately lactose intolerant, this presents itself to be a real pain in the neck.

I have an excellent news for you !! Champion juicer makes healthy ice cream ! That’s right, a healthy one, even for the lactose intolerant.

Kefir is a fermented milk product rich in its probiotics properties. It is a rich source of enzymes, vitamins B2, B12, A, D, K, essential minerals, proteins, lactic acid, folic acid, biotin and Tryptophan. Daily consumption of Kefir is beneficial to our digestive system and it helps to boost our immune system. Hence the replacement of regular milk with Kefir in this ice cream recipe will not only eliminate the allergic factors from the lactose intolerant but it also makes the nutrients in this Kefir Ice Cream easily assimilated.

Champion Juicer’s Lemon Kefir Ice Cream

• 2 1/2 cups kefir milk (or plain yogurt)
• 1/3 cup lemon juice (juice the lemon without the seeds, skin and pith)
• 2 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 1/2 cup thickened cream
• 2/3 cup honey (adjust the amount according to taste)

Juice the lemon segments with Champion Juicer to obtain 1/3 cup of lemon juice. Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk until well blended.
Freeze the mixture till solid. Cut the frozen mixture into long strips to push through the feeding chamber of Champion Juicer. Use Champion Juicer homogenized blank for this process. Serve immediately or store the Lemon Kefir Ice Cream in an air tight container and keep in the freezer.

Makes approximately 1 quart (1 liter).

When the summer heat becomes unbearable and you need an instant cool treat, you are going to love what Champion Juicer can do for you. Let me show you what I mean with this super easy instant fruit sherbet.

Champion Juicer’s Instant Tutti-Frutti Sherbet

• Clean and cut any type of fresh fruits into longitudinal strips to fit the feeder chamber of Champion juicer. Freeze the fruit till solid before running them through the Champion Juicer. Use the Champion Juicer blank to homogenize the frozen pieces of fruits.
• Be creative to prepare instant Sherbet of different varieties of fruits.
• Instead of adding sweetener or sugar to the homogenized mixture, feed dried fruits or frozen banana through the Champion Juicer for added sweetness and a creamy smooth texture. Alternate tart fruits with sweet fruits when you homogenize the frozen pieces.
• Serve immediately or return mixture back to the freezer in a sealed container.

Alternatively,

• You may homogenize the fresh fruits with Champion Juicer first, then freeze mixture in freezing trays till solid. Slice the frozen mixture into narrow strips to be homogenized with Champion Juicer. Serve at once. This alternative allows you to determine if the fruits mixture need a sweetener, so that it can be added before the freezing of the fruits.

Frozen sherbet mixtures may be stored in freezer bags or sealed container for future use. This is a good way to utilize the abundance of fruits in season.

One golden tip: To get a thicker and creamier Sherbets, chill the juicer body, cutter, blank and bowl before homogenizing the frozen fruits. This is easily done by placing the Champion Juicer parts in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before assembling.

Caution: Please do not place parts in freezer to chill.

Enjoy your healthy cool summer treat….

My daughters and I were having great fun in the kitchen yesterday making sherbet with Champion Juicer. My youngest daughter asked me what’s the difference between sherbet  and the sorbet we made last week. The two elder sisters attempted to explain but they ended up in a little argument that needed a delicious “creamy sherbet” to cool them down.

Yes, creamy… that’s what I said. Sherbet contains dairy or other fat making it creamy, similar to ice cream whereas sorbet is free of fat or milk. These two icy summertime treats have similar base ingredients ie. fruit juices or pureed fruits, sugar and water. That makes sorbet friendly to the lactose intolerant individuals since it contains no dairy and of course, it has lower calories. Sorbet is generally softer, granular in texture but sherbet has a firmer and smoother consistency.

I am going to share with you a sure hit sherbet recipe using the versatile Champion Juicer.

Champion Juicer’s Very Berry Sherbet

• 2 cups of mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries etc)
• 1 cup of pineapple juice
• 1/2 cup of orange juice
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons of Half & Half
• 1/4 cup organic raw sugar (optional)

Juice pineapple, oranges and lemon with Champion Juicer the usual way. Homogenize the mixed berries with Champion Juicer blank. Mix all ingredients and freeze mixture till solid. Cut the frozen mixture into strips and feed into the feeding chamber of Champion Juicer. Serve immediately. You may not even need sugar if the fruit juice extracted is sweet enough.

Have fun…. Cool.

We were having dinner in one of the local restaurant a couple of weeks ago. In between entrée and main course, we were served a small serving of passion fruit sorbet. I tasted different kinds of sorbet before but this one was different. It gave just the right touch to prepare our appetite for the main course. At the end of the dinner, Chef George showed up to find out how the dinner went. I grabbed hold of the golden opportunity to ask him for the secret recipe.

Chef George’s passion fruit sorbet was hand churned  every hour for a couple of hours but I tried out the recipe subsequently using Champion Juicer. The result was exceptionally good. Champion Juicer is able to achieve the fine texture and firm consistency one would want in a luscious sorbet.

Passion Fruit Sorbet by Chef George A.

• 1/4 cup raw organic cane sugar (or less, according to your taste)
• 2 cups filtered water
• 1/2 cup Lemon juice
• 1/2 cup passion fruit pulp
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Boil water, raw organic cane sugar and lemon zest for 5 minutes. Allow it to cool down to room temperature. Peel the lemon and discard seeds before pushing it  through Champion Juicer. Stir in the passion fruit pulp and lemon juice into the sugar mixture.

Freeze the mixture in a freezing tray till solid. Slice the frozen mixture into long strips and feed into the feeding chamber of Champion Juicer immediately. You may store the sorbet in a freezer container or serve immediately. Makes 6 servings.

Use the Champion Juicer blank when making sorbet.

Get your Champion Juicer ready this summer and watch this heavenly passion fruit sorbet streaming out of your Champion Juicer.

Cool summer Sherbet secret is coming next ….. Stay with me.

A promise is a promise. I have not forgotten about the Champion Juicer sorbet recipe I mentioned a few days ago.

More sorbet, sherbet and ice cream recipes to come…..Let your imagination flows wild with Champion Juicer.

I was trying out some really cool summer Champion Juicer recipes including a range of nice sorbet and sherbet recipes. I was about to share with you what fun Champion Juicer could bring in the summer for you and your family, but my thought  was somehow interrupted by the WHO’s declaration on a worldwide Swine Flu (A-H1N1 virus) pandemic on 11 June, 2009.

It disturbs me a little. What really perturbed me was not the Swine Flu but it was the manner the health officials dealt with it. The alarm raised cause a huge rush to release massive funding from many nations of the world into getting and stockpiling H1N1 Swine Flu vaccines. In fact, many pharmaceutical giants have had the vaccines ready in production weeks ahead of expectation as though they knew the declaration of a Swine Flu worldwide pandemic is inevitable.

What actually irks me is this, while every health authorities in the world is busy fire fighting, very few of them actually advise and educate their people to prevent it. They spoke unanimously on vaccines as the answer and anti-viral treatment being the next. Hygiene and other recommended measures are for avoidance. Little was spoken on how to boost your own immune system. You have the millions of battalion within you and yet they are sound asleep.

Raw fruit and vegetable juices made with Champion Juicer are richly packed with enzymes, nutrients, vitamins, minerals and phytochemical. They will provide life giving energy to your body cells and wake the sluggish immune soldiers up, to fight the battle of good health.

I am not saying that Champion Juicer is the only juicer that can do the job even though I am getting very good results from Champion juicer. Whatever juicer you may have, start getting your act together. Lower quality juice is better than no juice.

Start with simple recipes, start with the combination of the fruits and vegetables you like and ACT on it. Juicing is a quick way to feed your body with enzymes and nutrients at the cellular level, thus boosting your immune system to fight whatever viruses or bacteria that you may come in contact with. Why waste finance and effort to put off fire when it is at your absolute control to prevent the fire in the first place?

Let no FEAR rules you but let your Champion Juicer flowing with life giving raw fruit and vegetable juices.

Yes, I am still eager to share with you those really cool summer sorbet recipes made with Champion Juicer.

Stay connected.

What a cool way to beat the summer heat by a tall glass of raw fruits and vegetables juice with crushed ice and pretty garnishing. As I tend to juice more fruits during hot days with Champion Juicer, I need to remind myself of the relatively high sugar content that fruits carry. Therefore I would consciously incorporate some varieties of vegetables to balance up the concoction.

I have a nice Champion Juicer recipe here to help you combat dehydration. Dehydration happens when the amount of water leaving your body (through sweating) is more than the amount you take in during hot summer days. Champion Juicer’s ability to extract the minerals and distilled water from the fibers of fruits and vegetables makes it very ideal for you to replenish fluid in your body by drinking raw fruit and vegetable juices made using Champion Juicer.

Try this Champion Juicer recipe and stay hydrated throughout summer.

Champion Juicer’s Summer Spring

• 3 Carrots, peel and remove green tops
• 2 stalks Celery, discard leaves

Bundle up Spinach and Parsley. Push through the feeding chamber of Champion Juicer alternating with carrots and celery, then finish up with the green apple. You need to bundle up the small leafy vegetables as Champion Juicer is not the best juicer to extract them.
