I just had to share this with you all. We bought a "champion juicer" at a garage sale this weekend (I've also seen them in the classifieds before) and I can't recommend this machine highly enough, especially for you icecream lovers.
They have a blank plate included that does something they call homogonizing (which is not the same thing as the process they use for milk). Basically what you do is freeze strawberries, bananas, or almost anything for that matter...soy milk, coconut milk, pineapple, and you feed it frozen through the little feeder tube and out the end comes strawberry icecream, nothing added. I swear....it tastes like there is milk or cream and sweetener added. We fed through strawberries and bananas alternately and the consistency is "exactly" like softserve strawberry icecream. I don't know how it achieves this consistancy, but it does and it is worth every penny...we will never buy icecream again...it is that good!!!! Our children loved it. Pick up plain icecream cones from walmart and dispense it right into the cones and it even swirls like an icecream machine, though a little fatter. If I knew it did this I would have paid full price for one (I believe they run around $269.00 new, but look for one used). Just a thought for you icecream lovers (and it juices everything too)!!
