Sometimes we need all the help we can get when trying to maintain a healthy diet. We learn little tips and tricks that help us get through our day. Perhaps we don't walk by that co-workers desk that always has always has treats and candy available for all (all meaning you), or maybe on the drive home, we take the long way so as to avoid as many fast-food eateries as possible. The worst though is when we are at home, safely ensconced in our own dominion, and we're done in by something so trivial that we didn't see it coming. Sometimes, all it takes to send a diet on a detour is a crowded countertop.

It is not always possible to populate the countertop with appliances that facilitate a healthy diet, unless of course, some do double duty. The Nesco American Harvest JB-50P 2-in-1 Juicer/Blender combines two popular appliances into one convenient unit. Perfect for leaving out on the countertop, the machine is easily switched out for either use as the base supplies the necessary power.

Featuring a 50-ounce blender jar, two-speed control (along with a pulse feature), and the capability to separate pulp from juice, the combination appliance makes it easy to whip up a healthy juice drink or smoothie on demand. Other than the base, the attachments are dishwasher-safe, making for an easy way to keep the juicer/blender combination always at the ready.
