https://www.juicero.com/the-packs/just-greens/ https://www.juicero.com/the-packs/just-greens/ 2g of sugar per 8oz. While it is the only one with even close to that amount, it's the one I'd get (I used to make a juice very similar). That's barely any sugar.
Everyone writes off juice as having "a ton of sugar", and yeah, if you make it with only fruit it will. If you use vegetables, the thing that is hardest to eat a lot of, then you are fine.
$700 is alot, although any high quality juicer is going to be in the range of 300-500+. A hydraulic press juicer is going to be the best you can get, extracting everything out of the fruit and vegetables without building up heat.
The cost of the bags are at about $5-$8(I see $5 and $6 on their website so far). Which isn't really that bad. There is zero cleanup, chopping, and planning . I juiced daily for about 2-3 months straight for breakfast, and it takes up a lot of time and money. It was about 30-45 minutes to chop and prepare everything, then sit and run it through the juicer, then disassemble the juicer to clean everything.
The costs for all vegetables added an extra $30-$40 a week to my grocery bill. But I ate the same juice every day as that is what I could prepare for. It was a struggle to make sure everything was still good, and I was throwing away food weekly because it goes bad (sizes of packaged produce varied so it was tough to plan). I wasn't buying organic vegetables, so I saved a bunch of money there.
Honestly for the time savings and the hassle free way to consume, I think the product can work. This would be a great addition to many companies break rooms, and far healthier than any of the other options they provide. I have no idea whether then can make back all the money that's been invested, but we shall see.
- hashberry 11y agoHow many ounces of juice did you drink per day? $5-$8 for 8oz of juice seems pricey. That's the size of a "Short" Starbucks drink... I don't even want my coffee that size.
- tashoecraft 11y agomore then double that, probably should have mentioned that haha
