The Best Masticating Juicers for Your Kitchen by William Goodman

A hectic day can make it difficult to eat healthily, which is where fresh fruit or veggie juice can add a welcome dose of nutrition into your diet. After all, sometimes it’s just faster to drink your vitamins than it is to eat them. Of course, the high cost of juice these days can add up just as quickly as events in your day—but there’s an easier way.

You might know the benefits of traditional juicers, as they use blades to tear apart fruit and veggies into juice. However, the keyword there is “tear,” as that process adds heat and also exposes the ingredients to air. Both aspects cut down on critical nutrients. Masticating juicers, however, take a different approach. A fancy way of saying “cold-pressed,” masticating juicers extract the juice instead of beating it, literally, to a pulp.

What remains is an overall healthier and better-tasting option that will allow you to save money and make your own healthy juice from the comfort of your own home. The saved time, effort and money can go a long way when you’re on the go from an exercise class to work. Here are our picks for the best masticating juicers to give you the freshest, richest and best-tasting juice around.

The Best New TV Shows & Movies This Week: 'Better Call Saul,' 'Better Things,' and More by William Goodman

I’ve written before about how much of Better Call Saul plays with the ideas of duality. However, if this week’s episode — expertly directed by first-timer Melissa Bernstein (a long time producer on Breaking Bad, Saul, and El Camino) and writer Alison Tatlock — perhaps proved to us the show is not so much about duality as a three-head-monster. The “JMM” that this episode draw’s its title from was previously understood to be “James Morgan McGill” was then shifted to “Justice Matter Most” to its now final meaning: “Just Make Money.” This evolving nomenclature could just as easily be applied to the three phases of Jimmy’s (Bob Odenkirk) life as Jimmy McGill, Saul Goodman, and the man we’ll later come to know as Cinnabon Gene. The consequences of Jimmy Morgan McGill led to Saul Goodman’s “Justice Matters Most,” which begets “Just Make Money,” which eventually leads to Gene and a life of looking over his shoulder. The root of that eventual outcome begins, in full, here.

It feels extremely odd to say a director as prolific as Steven Soderbergh might be underrated, and yet, here we are. Here’s a quick roundup of everything the director has done in the intervening years since Ocean’s 13The Girlfriend ExperienceThe Informant!Contagion (more on that in a bit), HaywireMagic MikeSide EffectsBehind the CandelabraLogan LuckyUnsaneHigh Flying Bird, and The Laundromat

The two most recognizable films out of the eleven listed are arguably The Girlfriend Experience and Magic Mike (starring Sasha Grey and Channing Tatum respectively). But look take a look at some of the actors involved in those movies—Matt Damon, Rooney Mara, Adam Driver, Jude Law, Antonio Banderas, Andre Holland, and Meryl Streep to name a few—and it might shock you to know they were in a Soderbergh project.
