There’s nothing like fresh juice to awaken the mind and invigorate the body, but buying fresh-squeezed juice at a local shop or supermarket can get quite expensive. That’s why juicers are so popular, since they allow you to make the same quality juice that’s just as fresh at a fraction of the price. Of course, since juicers are so popular right now, that means there are so many options out there that it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Don’t worry though, because we’ve tested more than a dozen different juicer models so that you don’t have to. Here are our picks for the best juicer.
