Guest guest Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I have an opportunty to purchase a used Champion juicer. Does anyone know if it does wheat grass and leafy greens (like kale)? ~Amber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Hi, Amber. I know it doesn't do wheat grass (you need a wheat grass juicer for that). I don't know about kale. You can use a blender to blend kale with fruit and a little water. Or, if you want a savory " soup " , blend it with tomato, onion, whatever.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Hi Amber, If that Champion juicer is a good price, grab it! It won't do grass juice, but it will do SO much more that it is well worth it if you don't have another juicer. (Even if you have a centrifugal type juicer, then for sure grab the Champion.) It produces a much more healthy product than the centrifugal juicer apparently. Perhaps others on the List can expand on that. The Champion will make great frozen fruit 'ice creams' and sherbets, not to mention nut butters, etc. and does pretty well as a vegetable juicer too. The reason that it doesn't do wheat grass is that it doesn't 'masticate' the grass. The shaft on it has straight rows of metal teeth that just VERY finely grate the product. Then the pulp is pressed against a seive, forcing the juice out, while the dry-ish pulp is expelled out the end from the rotation. The wheat grass is very tough and will just wind around that grater shaft and that's about it. It would probably gum up the works and burn out the motor, besides not producing any juice. I got a little hand cranked wheat grass juicer which is a little tedious to use, but the only other option is to get a masticating juicer which is the ultimate and does everything (at a much higher price).

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 You can juice greens in a champion (but not wheatgrass, like tommie said). It's probably better to blend them though since you don't lose the fiber that way. There are lots of green smoothie recipes out there, but i think they take a little getting used to. I mostly use mine for nut pates on special occasions, and sometimes in the summer i freeze juice or smoothies in ice cube trays and run them through it to make " ice cream " . It's a great machine - I should use mine more Bridgitte rawfood , " Tommie " <jerushy wrote: > > Hi, Amber. I know it doesn't do wheat grass (you need a wheat grass > juicer for that).

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Thanks for your reply Tirza. This is a good price, but the unit is avacodo green. The seller told me it's only a few years old, but the avacodo green appliances were popular in 1968. I'll just have to check it out I guess............. ~Amber > Hi Amber, > If that Champion juicer is a good price, grab it!

Go for it, especially if you get a good price (I got mine-- an older machine, for sure!, on ebay for $100 a couple of weeks ago, and I love it - cannot imagine how I managed to justify living without it all these years!)

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I will second Bridgitte's comment about blending... Actually, what I usually do with most vegetables is food process them into tiny bits. If you want to *drink* your salad, then you can put everything in a blender with water and blend it into submission. I do like juices, but I have to follow recipes, because usually the ideas I get on my own don't taste so exciting, even if they are good for me. I think I probably have all the kitchen machines I will need, now that i have a food processor, a VitaMix, and a Champion juicer. Okay, well, I *could* get a Saladacco.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 If you get a good price, you can live with the avocado green, I think. I think avocado green was popular in the early 70s - I remember I got a Braun food processor that had avocado green touches (I gagged over the color, but I really wanted that machine -- it made my raw food " cooking " so easy!) I just got a Champion that is *yellow*! the instruction book that came with it has a date in the early 70s. I'm imagining this machine is at the very least about 25 years old. Never mind! It works like a charm. I have a friend who is a little older than I am who says that she has had a Champion for years, and it has never failed her. Interestingly, I went to the Champion website, and they asked me for my serial number, then welcomed me into the family without any obvious eyebrow raising. I asked about the " Champion 2000 " that I see listed on Ebay and that I have seen in stores, and they told me that it is the 853S.. the 2000 is " just a model number " . What does that mean? I don't know. What I do know is that if you need replacement parts for your juicer, regardless of when it was born, you can get them from Champion. I would not fret over the functioning of the machine if your seller says it works. I have found that I can live with a yellow machine. It has brought me so much joy in the short time it has been in my home! Margaret rawfood , " Stargazer " <Stargazer wrote: > > Thanks for your reply Tirza.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Margaret, You are right avocado green was popular in the early seventies as was the yellow, although it may have been a couple of years later. I think the avocado started earlier than the yellow.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Yep, you are right, they did call it Harvest Gold. I guess I should have said yellowish, as I could not remember the name they gave it. Now that you mention it, a lighter color that could probably have been actually called yellow was popular somewhere around the 50's.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I got my green Champion today. The seller was kind enough to bring it up to my house and demonstrate how to use it, and most importantly, how to clean the juicer. We juiced some carrots, beets and swiss chard and it did great. Thank you everybody for urging me to pick this up - it works soooo much better than my Jack LaLane centrifugal juicer.

You've juiced things... wait 'til you make " ice cream " from bananas or pineapples! I had so much fun with juice and ingredients for crackers, and then one day i froze some pineapple and put it through the Champion, and it was so good that i began to think that i would never eat anything else except ice cream I just know that you will enjoy your juicer. rawfood , " Stargazer " <Stargazer wrote: > > I got my green Champion today.

I hope it won't break you! The manual is pretty much like the 70s manual, as to basics. It has some new recipes,and it now says that you can use bleach to clean your machine parts (probably because the machine parts are usually whitish) I got my new manual last Monday -- I had it sent to my shipping address so it took 7 days for me to get it-- I ordered it on Monday, and it was in my hands on Monday. If you're having it delivered to your home, you will probably get yours sooner! :-) Boy am I ever gonna have a big compost pile now! Well, if you have a dehydrator, you can just throw the pulp from your juices into crackers! That's what I do! Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Something i do with my champion is making a smoothie out of mamey sapote (when i'm lucky enough to find some ;)and almond milk, put it in ice cube trays, and after they're frozen, run them through it. It's great if you're a former ice cream junkie like me and can't live without your frozen treats.

I don't know what granita is. I would say frozen pineapple comes out like soft-serve ice cream. I like the texture better than that of frozen bananas.
