Mini Juicer
The Magic Bullet Mini Juicer is the perfect gadget for making healthy drinks
IF your dad loves a gadget and is trying to look after his health, this is a great idea – a compact juicer that doesn’t break the bank but can still blend fruit and veg to a smooth juice.
The Magic Bullet Mini Juicer is just 31cm tall but extracts in seconds.
It comes with a 400- watt motor, 2in feed chute, large pulp bin and a 470ml travel cup.
Apart from the motor base it can all go in the dishwater.
A great way to use up wonky fruit and veg – or things lingering at the bottom of the fridge.
Because it is so dinky you do need to chop an apple up to get it in, but it is worth it at the price of £69.99, as some of the big boys cost about four times that.
