A lack of time, extensive food prep, and messy cleaning can all stop us from making juice regularly – but that’s not something you have to put up with. We’ve found that slow juicer sale such as the Nama J2 and Ninja Cold Press Juicer JC100UK are some of the best machines to help you get more juicing into your diet. These are called masticating juicers, and use a crushing technique that produces far less foam than centrifugal models. They also produce more juice from a single piece of fruit, as well as providing more pulp for delicious smoothies and even nut milk (just add a blank strainer).

There’s no need to break the bank for an expensive juicer, as you’ll find plenty of great options for under £200. The Philips Viva, for example, is a stunning-looking machine that’s a joy to use – despite its modest price tag, it managed to produce a full liter of juice in our tests. All detachable parts are dishwasher-safe, and it has a wide enough feeding chute to handle larger pieces of fruit.
It’s not the quietest model we’ve tested, but it does come with a handy freezer tray to allow you to make extra juice and sorbet. It’s also easy to clean and comes with a recipe book to inspire you to try new combinations. However, it’s important to remember that this is a centrifugal juicer and won’t be as effective with leafy greens as slower masticating machines.
