Martha Stewart Swears By One Kitchen Appliance For A 'Healthy Start' To Every Day

Martha Stewart has long been a vocal proponent of green juice, a trend that looks as though it's here to stay. Celebrities and wellness-influencers swear by the beverage, but more than a fashionable fad, green juice is a richly-concentrated, hydrating source of vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients that foodies require as part of a healthy diet. While a juicer appliance can be used to make myriad beverages, green vegetables (spinach and kale, specifically) are a good source of vitamins A, C, E, and K, as well as iron, calcium, and magnesium, plus major antioxidants  — homemade versions also have none of the added sugars of store-bought juices. To harness these health benefits, Martha Stewart swears by using one kitchen appliance. 

Last October, when Stewart sat down with Today to share her most-used home items, she shared that her Breville juicer is an "absolutely essential" part of her daily routine. "I make juice every morning," she told the outlet, before adding, "If you want to have a healthy start to your day, get yourself a Breville juicer. That's a really, really good juicer." 

Specifically, Stewart swears by Breville's 3X Bluicer Pro Blender and Juicer, which retails for $499.95 on the Breville website. This fully-tricked-out appliance includes 10 precision speed controls and a 50-ounce blender jug. But for the average foodie, the smaller-but-no-less-mighty Breville BJE200XL juicer appliance (currently, on sale for $59.95 on Amazon) might be enough to get the job done. This model's 25-fluid-ounce capacity can accommodate multiple servings of juice at a time, and its cost offers a more approachable entry into home juicing. 

For a midpoint model, we've long been singing the praises of the NutriBullet Slow Juicer, which even won our Tasting Table award for overall best juicer appliance (currently, $149.99 on Amazon). Home cooks can take a page from Stewart's playbook and start their day with our crisp and gingery green juice recipe, which requires an electric juicer to make. Not feeling green? To help foodies nail a tasty juice every time, we've rounded up a few key tips for determining the best fruits and veggies for juicing.

Several years prior, in 2021, Stewart appeared on Today to celebrate the release of her 98th book "Very Good Things" — a collection of 500 "good things" that "will make your life nicer, easier, more practical," as she told the outlet. The lineup includes many products from her own home, with Stewart sharing, "I start out with my best 'good thing,' which is green juice, every morning. Everything that you have in your fridge can go into the green juice ... I grow a lot of the stuff." 

Indeed, whipping up a flavorful, nourishing green juice can be a thrifty way to raid your own vegetable garden. To make her daily green juice, Stewart uses celery (with the leaves intact), baby spinach leaves, cucumber, a ginger knob, and orange (with peel). To keep the healthy cycle going, Stewart uses those leftover veggie solids as compost for her own garden.
