• deborahann, I’ll have to try the vitamix next time. Do you think it was smoother in the vitamix vs the juicer? We actually were doing a banana strawberry today when I was trying to figure out how to put in this attachment! cannibalwarrior: Do you le…

• A friend of mine said that almonds are too dry, not enough oil, so she does a combination of almonds and cashews and it gets smoother. Or you could use pine nuts instead with almonds. Or you can add a tiny bit of oil, worth another try :)??? Thanks …

• Thank you so much! My manual is for the Green Power, which is similar, but the manual isn’t :( Do you put the adjustment knob on the front of the juicer when making ice cream, or leave it off?

• Thanks Hippie Chick. The book said to let it rest for 20 minutes, but I’ll try what you said. It’s weird, that anything too thick, even though it’s moving around and I’m using the plunger, stops mine. I can’t get things that are thicker super smooth…

• You would have to use a blender for the banana, and I would only do that if it was an organic banana, otherwise you are getting toxins. Ditto on what jgagnon said. You should avoid the colored part of the peel on grapefruits and oranges (the Juicema…

• Personally, if I were to have something cooked, I would dehydrate it for a few hours (as a 1st choice), or lightly steam it (as a second choice). If something is cooked and thrown into the ground, it won’t grow, but if it’s uncooked and thrown into …
