        Recommended Juicer

        Kuvings REVO830 reccomended juicer

        My favorite juicer ever is the Kuvings REV0830. Not only does it produce high quality cold press juices, I also use it to make nut milks, smoothies, and sorbets! Cold press juicers allow nutrients to last longer than cheaper, high speed juicers. The pulp produced is also very dry meaning the full amount of juice was extracted from the fruit or vegetables. With my cheaper hit speed juicer, my pulp was always wet and runny. This means I was not getting the full amount of juice from my produce.

        The Kuvings REV0830 has honestly been such a blessing to my kitchen and can be to yours as well! The warranty is a whopping 10 years with fantastic customer support. Use code ITALEATS for 10% off this beauty and invest in your juicing journey.
