tools.
what you actually need. spoiler: not a $400 machine.
heads up — links below may earn us a lil commission. costs you nothing extra.
a juicer, any kind
the broke-but-works pick
AMZCHEF cold press juicer →sub-$100, still cold-press. no excuse not to start.
a blender + fine strainer
the budget move
NutriBullet + mesh strainer →blend, strain, done. this is how the two-dollar juice gets made.
a sharp knife
the one we actually use
a decent chef's knife →half of juicing is prep. a dull knife makes everything take twice as long.
glass jars
the daily driver
Ruckae 16oz glass bottles, 10-pack →for storage and for pouring — juice tastes better cold and glass doesn't hold onto flavor.
the shot-glass version
2oz glass shot bottles →for ginger shots and anything you're not sipping slow.
a fine mesh strainer
