Usually to extract juice from vegetable, we throw the vegetable into the blender. So, are there other ways that we can extract juice?

What about a juicer? – Jefromi♦ Oct 22 '12 at 6:01
@Jefromi, I have thought before a juicer but I notice that a juicer is much more harder to maintain because it have a secret chamber that keep those fiber and pulp. Also, if a juicer can only juice fruits or vegetables that are rich in water content. However, a juicer give me pure clean juice which the blender cannot provide me. Also, the juice from the blender require additional work such as using a filters to filter out the pulp and fiber. Wondering if there are devices or ways that I can do less work but get clear juice. – Jack Oct 22 '12 at 7:31
Well, there is Pectinex Ultra SP-L and a centrifuge, but I suspect that's a bit out of your price range. I've never tried it: it's out of my price range, too. – derobert Oct 23 '12 at 4:56

Is it that you don't have access to a blender, or you don't like other effects it has in the process of extracting juice? Pretty much any effective method is going to mangle the vegetables and not leave any better or worse an end product in the de-juiced vegetables.

Assuming it's lack of a blender: If they aren't soft and juicy enough to squeeze out juice, pulverizing them with a meat tenderizing hammer while they're in a freezer-strength baggie (strong enough to prevent vegetable shrapnel from flying all over your kitchen) would probably net you at least a few good gulps.

+1 for "vegetable shrapnel" - lol! Not a great answer though - there are other devices for juicing such as a citrus squeezer and a chinois strainer before having to resort to the meat tenderizer hammer! (still love the image of that, though!) :-) – Kristina Lopez Oct 22 '12 at 18:14
@Kristina Lopez: Thanks for both. I guess I inferred from the question that the OP had no devices at all, hence the work-around request. – MargeGunderson Oct 22 '12 at 19:41

in retrospect I agree with you - I am leaning towards that assumption also. Still the only answer that made me laugh today! – Kristina Lopez Oct 22 '12 at 19:59
