Inspired by Chile and her juice fast, I pulled out our juicer today. It is not a very good model as it doesn't juice greens or ginger--two of the things I'd love to be able to juice. I picked it up about a year ago from our former neighbors who were downsizing to travel this great land of ours and live in a fifth wheel with their two children ages 6 and 11. I haven't heard from them in some time and wonder how their adventure turned out. I knew their juicer wasn't going to be perfect for our needs, but for $20 I was willing to help out a neighbor and gain a mediocre juicer.
I harvested these carrots from the garden, threw in some cucumber and some ginger in the hope that this time it would get juiced. The results were pretty delicious. Whenever I drink fresh juice I get a little zing that lasts for a while. The pulp goes to the chicken and we are all very happy.
I would love to juice more but am unwilling to shell out $400 for a great juicer. Does anyone know of a model between $100-$200 that will juice greens like kale, ginger, the usual suspects (carrots, fruit) and, possibly, wheatgrass? Links would be much appreciated

Mmm, the peach nectar I had last week from the juicer was divine! I also know of a good apricot chutney recipe if you're interested in the link, but it uses the whole fruit. It could possibly be adapted to be chutney juice?
The juicer I bought was a Breville. They have models ranging from $150 up. Mine was $200 but I used a 20% off coupon at Bed, Bath & Beyond to get it for less. Reviews of the Breville juicers are the best I saw when doing my research in that price range.
Hi Chile,
Thanks for popping over here and answering my question twice--once here and once on your juice reboot. I had the apricot nectar in some yogurt and it was divine! If I had more apricots, I'd hit you up for the chutney recipe.
