Juicing with a slow juicer

Hey lovely people. I know it was a bit silent (again) on the blog, but we really enjoyed the long and late summer and then kindergarten started for the girls and we needed some time to adjust. But the girls love to go, just getting up early in the morning is not easy for all of us. So we are always looking for quick breakfast ideas that still give us energy for the day. So when Panasonic asked me if I would like to try their Slow Juicer I was exited. I thought about to buy one myself for a long time, but the fact to have another machine in my kitchen always stopped me. But to my surprise the Panasonic slow juicer isn’t that big and it fits perfectly next to my mixer.

So we started the juicing and tried all different combinations, which turned out really good – at least most of them. Some had too much veggies for the girls, but they drank most of them.

The juicer is super easy to set up , then you just have to cut the fruits and veggies, put them in and that’s it: you have fresh and healthy juice.

And these are the combinations we tried so far:

Fennel - Carrot - Apple - Orange

Strawberry - Beets - Fig - Carrot - Pineapple

Watermelon - Grapefruit - Apple - Turnip - Mint

Cucumber - Fennel - Kiwi - Apple - Grapes

And the Panasonic MJ-L500 Slow Juicer comes with another feature I really liked. (The model is no longer in production.) You can very easily make Frozen Joghurts or Sorbets. There is an adapter which fits easily and than you can turn frozen fruits into nice cream.

We are really happy with the juicer and there are lot more combinations we want to try in the future and I even think about a juice fast. If you prefer blending over juicing, try our green immune booster smoothie or the beetroot berry smoothie with coconut water for breakfast.

Love, Verena

GOOD TO KNOW

Frequently asked questions

  • You can combine almost any fruit and vegetables. These are the 5 combinations we tried: fennel-carrot-apple-orange, strawberry-beets-fig-carrot-pineapple, pineapple-apple-carrot, watermelon-grapefruit-apple-turnip-mint and cucumber-fennel-kiwi-apple-grapes. Most of them turned out really good, some had a bit too much veggie taste for the girls, but almost all of them were happily finished. All you have to do is cut the fruit and vegetables, feed them in and the juicer does the rest. Just work your way through the combinations and find your own favourite mix for the morning.

  • Yes, the juicer comes with an adapter that fits easily, and with it you can turn frozen fruit into nice cream. Frozen yogurts and sorbets are just as easy: the frozen fruit is pressed into a smooth, creamy dessert in no time. It is a lovely, simple treat without needing an extra ice cream maker, and especially in summer a wonderfully refreshing alternative to store-bought ice cream. For us it was one of the features we liked most about the juicer, next to the fresh juices themselves.

  • Not at all. I hesitated for a long time because I did not want yet another machine in my kitchen, but the slow juicer surprised me: it is more compact than expected and fits perfectly next to the mixer. Setting it up is super easy too. You just have to cut the fruits and veggies, put them in, and that is it, you have fresh and healthy juice. For quick breakfasts on busy mornings that still give you energy for the day, it is a really practical helper.

Yours, Verena
