Correct, your juicer is not good enough.
Try to find a deal on a masticating juicer like this
I juice about four times a week using this: http://www.amazon.com/Omega-J8005-Single-Gear-Commercial-Masticating/dp/B0002OKDT2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1312572902&sr=8-1
It's a masticating juicer (I know, it sounds perverted) which is better for juicing leafy greens. It's a little pricey, so I'd say start with a centrifugal juicer first to see if you like it. Like others have mentioned, it's not a substitute for actual vegetables; you should really try incorporating a salad into one of your meals every day.
I think a lot of people who hate on juicing associate it with this complete lifestyle change, probably because lot of the people that advocate it come across as a bunch of hardcore, vegan hooligans (no offense to my vegan friends). But there's no denying that juicing supplies your body tons nutrients and phytochemicals that you wouldn't otherwise get.
A typical juice recipe for me is: 5 carrots, 1 apple, half a cucumber, a couple handfuls of either spinach or kale, and a few stalks of celery. The more greens I add, the more bitter the juice is. So if you're planning on using any of those veggies, start with a little.
Hope this helps!
The European version (which would have a 240V/50Hz motor) seems to involve a +400% price rise:-(
More research needed. [Edit]Forgot the link
I have this bad boy. I use it almost everyday. It is very easy to clean, and you can teach anyone to use it in minutes. I've not extruded pasta with mine, but that is an option.
> What helps greatly in this is the juicer you are using. A masticating juicer will get more yield than a centrifugal juicer especially when it comes to leafy greens - which is what you want in your daily juices - kale, chard, spinach. You can also look them up on WolframAlpha individually to get a good look at what each is estimated to contain. You can use fillers such as celery and cucumber. But most folks base their juices from carrots, apples. I enjoy using peppers (sweet peppers, bell peppers) as they produce a nice yield, second are beets. Try and stick with more greens and less fruits.
Unfortunately the juicer that I bought (Breville BJE510XL), is in fact a centrifugal juicer, not a masticating juicer. After doing some research, I realize that this was a poor decision and will return this one and go for a masticating one. Right now I am looking at the Omega J8005, which is #3 on the TopJuicerMachine.com page recommended in this subreddits sidebar. I am also looking at the juicer that you are currently using Omega VRT330. Besides one being vertical and the other horizontal, I can't seem to find the pros and cons of each one. Reviews wise, the J8005 wins with a 4.5 Star Average (239 reviews) while the VRT330 has 4 Star Average (76 reviews). Price wise, the J8005 also wins @ $252.43 while the VRT330 is $314.99. What are your thoughts on the benefits of each and why the VRT330 is more expensive than the J8005?
