I am trying to analyze the juicing output of masticating juicers. I am planning on starting juicing and Uny has told me juicing is the thing to do while on the Schulze foundation program. This info would help me a bit:
(1) Those of you who have juiced carrots, can you tell me how many ounces of juice can you expect by juicing around 2 lbs of carrots? Please mention your juicer name.
(2) How much carrot juice would you recommend to be taken per day?
(3) Do you have any tips for increasing the output in masticating juicers? (general tips, not specific to any juicer)

This is a reply to # 1,592,799As a general rule of thumb one can expect 8oz. of juice per pound of carrots.This will be subject to the carrots and there growing conditions.Some juicers are more efficient than others along with juice quality.The greenstar is a great juicer but a bit harder to use than the vert which does a great job but there is an issue with the juicing basket.Good luck and happy shopping.

Grassman, I haven't had a problem with the juicing basket on my Vert, I guess I'm fortunate I haven't. I love it, it puts out quality juice with the pulp being really dry.

Wow, I hadn't heard that. I haven't seen any damage but I'm gonna go look to make sure lol. I'll look at your folder if I can find it. How long had you had the Vert before this happened?

I see what you're talking about now. Mine hasn't cracked like that but I'll be watching it! Its good to know that Omega really does stand behind their product.
Your sprouts are absolutely beautiful Grassman, Uny grow sprouts but I haven't see pictures of hers. It looks like you have an abundance of them.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,593,155Omega does stand behind there products but there email side is poor.If you call Jeff Long he will send out a replacement with out a need to send in the broken part. Sprouts are a great way to tap into the blessing of seed time and harvest.Consuming greens that are fresh cut and served within a few minutes of harvesting are simply vibrant.You should give it try.

Mine came with a crack in the basket, brand new. I wrote to the company and they wanted me to send in my basket for replacement. I balked, saying I didn't wanna be without one for weeks, waiting! (I could still use mine. It didn't leak or anything)... So I sent them photos instead of the basket w/ cracks. They sent me a replacement.
Grassman, haven't seen your photos but mine was cracked in the same spot. I've got photos too (well, obviously 8-)).
Other than that, I adore my Vert.

This is always the question when you are going to do your first juice fast, I had that question too lol. Its kinda hard to figure out and you don't want to under buy or over buy produce but you'll learn after that first shopping/juicing time. I meant to keep a log on my first fast but I forgot to do it!
I juiced 5 pound bags of carrots at a time, several of them and I'm thinking that I got about 3-4 pints of juice from a 5 pound bag of carrots, that would be between 48-64 ounces. Of course that would depend on what kind of juicer you've got and how fresh the carrots are. I've got the Omega VRT330, they've done comparisons of the Vert and a few other juicers and it seems the Vert yields a little more juice than other models.
You are going to be juicing more than just carrots right? I mix my carrot juice with pineapple, half and half and I drink only a pint of that a day. My husband likes the carrot by itself, he would drink a couple of pints a day of just carrot. We drank lots of other fruits and veggies on a daily basis with the goal being a total of 8 pints a day if you're juicing to heal your body of a serious illness. You can mix it up anyway you want. Don't be afraid to play around with different combinations of fruits and veggies, that part is fun!
You're gonna feel so good after the first few days, you'll really notice a difference and your body will thank you for it.
Enjoy the juicing journey! ;)

This is a reply to # 1,593,141Hey Willow! Thanks to you and everyone who answered! :)
Well, I don't think I am going to do a juice fast as much as I'd want to do it. I don't have a masticating juicer and I am not in the US, so I can't buy those readily. At my place, after a good search, I've finally found a manual masticating juicer that's supposedly best for citrus fruits. So I didn't have any hopes for carrots etc. But if I am ready to spend a huge amount of time, I am indeed able to use it to make carrot juice :) If you are curious, it took me 1 and half hours to get about 8oz of carrot juice (with a little beet root juice in it). In order to juice fast an entire day, I'd probably be juicing all day and it would still not be enough. :)
But thanks for the model information. I am trying to find some of my friends from school, college who'd be in US and who'd be willing to bring a juicer for me (tough luck!). If I indeed succeed, then I'll have your model recommendations to decide the one.
So at the moment I am trying to include as much juice, like maybe around 8oz of pure juice a day.
I find it difficult to digest carrot and beets etc, so those are the ones that I am first going to use for juicing. Others I have planned are spinach and radish. Let's see what the gods have in mind for my juicing expedition :)
"You're gonna feel so good after the first few days, you'll really notice a difference and your body will thank you for it."
I am looking forward to feeling better, slowly at least if not that fast :)
Thanks and all have a wonderful day!
