I bought a magic bullet juicer a couple weeks ago because people kept asking me about it and I was curious.  I’m in the process of doing a full review but I slapped this quick video together  Magic Bullet Juicer

This device is actually a little blender and not a true juicer.  I truly thought it was going to suck but I’m actually really liking it.  So far I’ve only made smoothies and ground some coffee with it.  I plan to cut up some carrots and try to juice those but I’m not expecting that to be too successful.

Some people prefer blending fruits and vegetables instead of juicing them.  They feel the fiber you get blending the produce is too valuable to waste.  I get that and sometimes I do blend instead of juice.  But the nutrition you get from juicing gets absorbed much faster into your body because there is not fiber to slow down the digestion.  Most of the time that is what I want.  I’ll eat a couple bites of fruit or vegetables to start the enzymes flowing into my stomach and to get some of the fiber.  Then I’ll drink the juice and that seems to work great for me.

This little blender juicer might be fine for getting a quick little glass of blended juice.  But I’ll have to review it further to find out if it works well for that.  It definitely does a fine job of making smoothies and grinding coffee.  Check out my quick video review to see Magic Bullet in action.
