Ultimate Nourishment's tips on using the Champion Juicer:

• When juicing more pulpous fruits, such as oranges and grapefruit, insert each fruit portion one at a time and press down with the food plunger more slowly than you would with firmer fruit as this will allow all the cells to be broken with the cutter and you will find more juice will be extracted.


• When peeling citrus, use a carrot peeler to remove the 'zest' of the citrus off the citrus rind (zest is not good for the body!) but leave the white meaty part of the citrus rind. The white meaty part of the citrus rind contains many nutrients and is a major source of Vitamin C. And this method will produce a foamy, delicious glass of citrus juice (reminds me of an "Orange Julius").


• If juicing a mixture of fruits (or vegetables), alternate the fruit (or vegetable), which will aid in keeping the screen free of excess pulp. For instance, my favorite juice is apple/carrot/ginger root juice. I use 2 apples (3 if the apples are small), 2 carrots cut in thirds and a few slices of ginger. I will alternate inserting an apple slice, than a carrot third, a few more apple slices, than another carrot third and insert a ginger slice in between the apple and carrot. I find that the occasional carrot third keeps the apple pulp moving through the Champion more freely.


• Because the body requires different enzymes to assimilate vegetable juice and fruit juice, ensure the mixture of produce you juice does not mix vegetables and fruits in the same juice. The only exception to this rule is an apple. Apples can be juiced with vegetables.


• When cleaning the Champion Juicer, ensure the water temperature is warm, not hot. Hot water can leave mineral deposits on the juicer parts and over time the hot water's minerals can build up, especially on the screen. The 5 pieces of the Champion Juicer to clean are not dishwasher safe; however cleaning the Champion Juicer is a very simple and effortless task. And I have found cleaning my cutting board can take more time than cleaning the Champion Juicer!


• The Champion Juicer does not juice leafy greens. Examples of leafy greens are spinach, parsley, kale, collard greens, wheat grass, and lettuce. Although, feedback from Ultimate Nourishment's customers mention the Champion does juice greens if you ball up the greens into a firm mass and then insert and press the plunger slowly. If your juicing goals are to juice leafy greens daily, the Champion Juicer may not be the juicer you would want to perform this daily task. The Champion Juicer's forte is juicing an incredibility wide variety of fruits and vegetables, even the soft fruits and vegetables such as kiwi, tomatoes, peaches. And my experience has found I can taste the difference between juices from a Champion Juicer to juice from centrifugal juicers. I have found juice from the Champion Juicer tastes richer and bolder than juice from centrifugal juicers. To that end, since my juicing goals did not include juicing leafy greens and I anticipated juicing a wide variety of fruits and vegetables (plus making nut butters, sorbets, sauces, soups, even baby food!), the Champion Juicer was the juicer I selected for my own personal use.
