A friend of mine has one, and this afternoon we spent a glorious time making up our own recipes - it was like being kids again! It may have been a slight overdose of fruity veggie goodness, but by the end of the day creativity turned to slightly evil! Lets just say that banana and kale are NOT good together!
Mum's fresh is best you can experiment left over pulp you can put this in your compost bin or your worm farm , how wicked is that ,Laddies go to the next level , watermelon and carrot an apple and pineapple and yes Ginger to give it that zing of life in your drink , I kid you not this was the only thing that helped my lovely wife through yes that's right not one but through two pregnancy's . But don't stop here to be naughty at night as to give you a treat , do mango ,pineapple contrio and a touch of Balieys and stir and enjoy your delight , god bless all your lovely mums
easy to use, efficient and well worth the purchase!
There are so many juicers on the market but this one is by far one of the best. You don't have to cut the fruit into smaller pieces because of the huge chute. You have different speeds for different fruits to ensure you extract the most juice. Slower for softer, faster for harder fruits. It is so easy to put together and so simple and quick to clean.. No hassle to clean it. It froths juices too. The juice tastes fantastic and the machine looks great on the bench!! Definately well worth the purchase!
This would have to be the best birthday gift I have ever been given I absolutely love it, not sure if my opinion is tainted as I wanted a juicer for such a long time but there was always something else we needed far more at the time. I was so excited when my hubby bought it for me. Also looks good that I don't find the need to hide it away it fits in well with my other appliances on my kitchen bench.
I highly recommend the Breville Froojie Fountain, so easy to use. My family love the fresh juice. It's been hot, so it's nice to make fresh chilled drinks that are good for you, so much better then soft drinks. I love that you can put in whole apples and large pieces, so quick.
It's very simple to take apart and put make together. I'm very happy to have discovered a great product like this, l use it everyday. I included a photo of my son enjoying some fresh juice we made together, he loves it.
I've had the Froojie for close to a month now and it's an ongoing love affair. My youngest won't eat fruit but she is a great sport and even drinks my less than perfect mixes (like yesterday when I made the mistake of juicing an entire lemon).
Today we have decided to take the plunge and tr some veggie juice. I have always just chosen to drink fruit juices but now I have the juicer I thought we should give the veggies a fair go. I had some beetroots in the fridge so I thought we would try beetroot, carrots, celery and apple for a bit of sweetness. I must say i was plesently surprised how good it tasted and the juicer has no problems with the hard vegetables and gets loads of juice out of them too. I have been speaking to lots of people about the juicer and most people say aren't they hard to clean and I simply say no its really easy. I think if you love having fresh juice and like to control what you put in your body then it's worth the few minutes it takes to c,ean the juicer.
I said in an earlier post that I had used this wonderful device at a friends place and loved it. As we visit this friend often, my kids have been drinking all sorts of different juices and helping to make them too. now that's all they want at home. I am going to go buy one asap. Its really good to know that they would rather have a home made juice now, instead of soft drink. They just don't see me put vegies in the mix and everyone is happy.
Beautiful. fresh fruit juice-what could be better!!
We have been using the Breville Foojie Fountain for about 2 weeks now and have produced some amazingly delicious juices. Our last juice was a mixture of apples, blackberries and strawberries. It looked and tasted sensational. One of my favourites is freshly squeezed orange juice- it takes some time to peel the oranges but the resulting juice is better than I could ever have hoped for. Absolutely delicious!!
I received the Breville Froojie Fountain as a Christmas gift when the family to buy me a juicer. I like that this Breville has a variable speed control so you can adjust it yourself depending on what sort of fruits/veg you are using. Another selling point is that you can switch between the disc to make juice more puree like (with some pulps) or just have it like a normal juice. The feed chute is wide enough to put your fruits/veg in without having to cut them into smaller pieces. Very easy to use and operate. Only downside is i find it really hard to clean, especially the mesh disc. Stuffs get stuck there so easily and it's hard to get it off that i have to srub it sometimes
I love to use my juicer especially when it's hot. Easy to make up a big jug full and take it to work the next day. Great to experiment with different fruits and vegetables and find I am eating many more vegetables than I usually would. Easy to rinse off to clean. I was given a free book by Joe Cross full of juice recipes as he promotes this brand and found it was really helpful. Give one a try today especially if you are trying to be healthier or lose weight.
best thing i have brought to keep the veggies going in the boys system so good they even make there own juices and whats left( if any) we make icy poles with so fresh no preservative icy poles and i don't mind then if they don't eat as there icy poles are full of goodness. has helped out son whom has bad tonsillitis to get all the goodness he still needs just juiced up.
Last time I just did juice like purely veggies and fruits and only bit of water and the result was amazing. Now I did a classic strawberry smoothie and my husband insisted that I put bananas as well. I used strawberries that are fresh bought last month and stored in freezer and fresh bananas. Great smoothie by just adding a nit of fresh milk. One of the best appliances I have ever ever owned. Great great job always
Fabulous and fantastic. I love this machine as I start the day with a cleansing juice every day. It's hardy and takes to the fruit and vegetables with ease. It is easy to clean the parts and also the machine looks great, I highly recommend this machine and love having it as a pemmrnant fixture on the kitchen bench
I love this product especially I am now ta turned health nut. Juice never tasted so amazing and knowing that its fresh with no added preservatives or sugar is reassuring. No longer do I need to buy juice packs and soend time reading its contents and nutritional info. Now simply putting in the ingredients I want and need for a specific moment saves me money and gives me energy. Such a good invention. Its good just a bit hard to clean but wont stop me from using it.
I bought one of these a few months ago for myself in a desperate attempt to fit more fruit and veg into my diet and to treat my body to some yummy juices. As a result I have got the whole family into juices and smoothies can’t wait to get a little more adventurous with it when I have a few more fruit and vege options. It was such a quick and tasty juice without all the preservatives and added nasties.
Breville Froojie Fountain - most amazing machine ever!
After using so many different machines to make my family fresh juice and smoothies I can honestly say the Breville Froojie® Fountain™ is the most amazing machine I have used.
I love that you can just pop the whole fruit or vegetble you are juicing in and it gets every last drop of juice!
Amazing and I highly recommend the Breville Froojie® Fountain™ I had hubby buy me one for mothers day and I use it every single day, and feel good knowing my family are so much healthier for it too.
My sister has one of these and since she is pregnant she is happy to sit back and let me have a play with her Breville Froojie! and I'm not complaining!! Ive been trying out heaps of recipes and love them all! The froojie is so fun and easy to use and easy to clean too ( i don't even mind that part) This would make the perfect gift and I'm hoping i'll be able to cross it off my wish list soon ;)
A friend of mine has one, and this afternoon we spent a glorious time making up our own recipes - it was like being kids again! It may have been a slight overdose of fruity veggie goodness, but by the end of the day creativity turned to slightly evil! Lets just say that banana and kale are NOT good together!
Back when I used to work in retail I would demonstrate these all the time. They where easy to use and also quick to clwan which in my books is really important!
Nothing beats your own fresh juice. It's great for using up all the leftover fruit and veggies before the go to waste. The chute is large enough for most whole fruits and is very simple to use. If i had to fault anything it would be the cleaning of the fine filter and the amount of froth you get with the juice.
I have just brought a Breville juicer for my brother in law's birthday who has everything (apart from a juicer) and is quite health conscious. I have a juicer and love it but you cannot get my one any more and after reading these reviews I thought I would give it a go! He is absolutely delighted with it.
Mum's fresh is best you can experiment left over pulp you can put this in your compost bin or your worm farm , how wicked is that ,Laddies go to the next level , watermelon and carrot an apple and pineapple and yes Ginger to give it that zing of life in your drink , I kid you not this was the only thing that helped my lovely wife through yes that's right not one but through two pregnancy's . But don't stop here to be naughty at night as to give you a treat , do mango ,pineapple contrio and a touch of Balieys and stir and enjoy your delight , god bless all your lovely mums
I love making my own juice, at least you know what is going into it. It was easy to juice all different kinds of fruit and veges to make some pretty awesome fruit juices. and after you've made all your juice, it is very easy to clean up afterwards. Thank you
This juicer makes the smoothest fine juice I have tasted including commercially produced juice. The various speed settings makes it easy to make mixed juices including using hard fruits and vegetables such as beet roots. The design of the juicer with the scraps bucket at the side is easy to use if you line it with a large freezer bag to collect the pulps. Very highly recommended
i have the breville juicer and my mum has the tefal jucier they are both great. I found the breville to be easy and simple to clean. I can also use the pulp to put in my muffins and the kids love it.
I would recommend the breville jucier to everyone 10/10

‘Trust Your Intuition’: How To Advocate For Your Child In Hospital
Mother’s instinct is a funny thing. At home, we trust it without question. But put us in a hospital setting with an unwell child, surrounded by doctors, nurses and monitors, and suddenly we start doubting ourselves.
What if I’m overreacting? What if I’ve got it wrong?
So we stay quiet, even when we know something just isn’t right with our child. I’ve been there myself – when my usually ‘tough’ son was doubled over with stomach pain. I was told in the emergency department that it probably wasn’t his appendix. But I knew he wouldn’t have begged me to take him to hospital unless it was serious. Because I know him better than anyone. Turns out, it was appendicitis.
It’s a really common place for parents to land. You’re grateful for the care your child is getting, but at the same time, you feel this huge responsibility to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.
Here’s the thing though: that instinct you’re feeling? It matters more than you might think.
Why your gut feeling matters more than you realise
According to Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital, Leticia Jackson, parents bring something to the hospital that no test or machine ever could.
“Parents often say they ‘just know’ when something isn’t quite right with their child, and in a hospital, that gut feeling is incredibly valuable,” she explains.
Leticia Jackson, Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital
While medical teams rely on observations, tests and equipment, parents know the little details. The way your child usually smiles. How they react when they’re tired. What’s normal for them.
So when something feels “off”, even if everything looks okay on paper, it can actually be an early warning sign.
“When parents trust those instincts and speak up, this creates a powerful partnership that can sometimes catch a problem before it becomes an emergency,” Leticia says.
Worried about speaking up? You’re not alone
A lot of parents hesitate about advocating for their child.
You don’t want to come across as difficult. You don’t want to question the people caring for your child. And sometimes, you just don’t feel confident enough to push the issue.
Leticia gets it.
“It is completely understandable for parents to feel hesitant,” she says. “No one wants to be seen as difficult or to second-guess the hardworking people caring for their child.”
But here’s a helpful way to look at it: you’re not challenging the medical team, you’re helping them.
Parents are the constant. Staff change shifts, care for multiple patients, and rely on snapshots of information. You’re there the whole time, noticing the subtle changes.
“Our medical team doesn’t view a concerned parent as overreactive, but as a partner,” Leticia explains. “Your voice matters.”
Remember, we know our children better than anyone.
What to do if you’re worried: the Raise It process
If you’re in a NSW public hospital or health service and you’re worried about you or your child’s condition getting worse, there is a clear process you can follow called Raise It.
Raise It is designed to help patients, carers and family members get help fast if they’re worried about a change in their loved one’s condition.
Here’s how it works:
Talk: Start by speaking to a nurse, midwife, doctor or health worker about your concerns.
Ask: Still worried? Ask to speak to the nurse or midwife in charge and request a Clinical Review.
Call: If you’re still concerned, you can escalate further using the Raise It process to get urgent attention from a senior health worker.
You don’t need medical knowledge. You don’t need to be certain. If you feel something isn’t right, or your child is getting worse, Raise It. You just need to speak up.
What should you actually look out for?
Sometimes it’s not one big, obvious sign. It can be small, subtle changes that just don’t sit right.
Things like:
Changes in breathing (fast, laboured or noisy)
Skin looking pale, mottled, or developing unusual rashes
Your child being unusually drowsy, floppy, or hard to wake
Confusion or behaviour that’s out of character
Pain that isn’t improving with treatment
Or simply that feeling that your child is getting worse
And sometimes, it’s just that gut feeling you can’t explain.
That’s enough.
“You are helping us, not bothering us”
If there’s one message Leticia wants parents to take away, it’s that you aren’t bothering the medical team, you’re helping them.
“In my years as a Nurse Unit Manager, I can say with absolute certainty that many critical changes in a child’s condition have been identified first by a parent. While our clinical staff are highly skilled at performing regular observations and interpreting data, parents are the only constant presence who truly know their child’s baseline behaviour, personality, and what is normal for them.
“I have seen numerous instances where a parent’s insistence that their child is “just not themselves” – despite vital signs appearing relatively stable – has prompted a deeper clinical review that uncovered everything from early signs of sepsis to a life-threatening respiratory crisis.”
The Raise It process exists because healthcare teams know how important parents are in keeping children safe.
“Speaking up doesn’t mean you don’t trust the team,” she says. “It means you’re partnering with us to make sure nothing gets missed.”
And if you’re still worried about being judged?
“Whether your concern turns out to be something or nothing, your instinct to raise it is always valid.”
Even as a healthcare professional, when I took my soon to the ED when I was concerned, I felt awkward about speaking up, worried I was making a big deal out of nothing (even though i would never tjink this about a patient’s family if the roles were reversed). The message in this article is so important. Always stick to your guns. Always speak up and advocate for your kids – they can’t do it for themselves.
And honestly, some medical staff are idiots. I vividly remember the night two doctors huddled over my son’s lung x-rays. I hadn’t been allowed to accompany him to have them taken as I was pregnant. They finally told me solemnly that they were preparing to do emergency surgery as there was something in his lungs – “we don’t know what it is, but it’s definitely man made”. I took one look at the x-rays and asked if they’d taken off the battery packs for his cochlear implants, which were pinned to the back of his shirt, before the x-ray. And of course they hadn’t, and of course that’s what appeared to be in his lungs. Honestly!
I have learned many times to always listen to your gut and speak up when you don’t think something is right. This article was a great read, our kids are our world and if we don’t feel they are getting the right help, and we feel it, we need to speak up.
You should never second guess yourself when it comes to yours or your childs health- or anyones for that matter. Go with your thoughts. It is natural to want to protect a loved one especially when it comes to health situations, and the feeling you get when you think you didnt do enough to advocate or fight for them…it is not a kind or nice way to feel. Many people have ended up being heartbroken and picking up pieces for years because of feeling they didnt do enough.
A very good and informative article. I have read so many stories about mums just knowing when things are not right and demanding second and third opinions until they got the right answer. Sometimes mums just know. It is our job as care takers of our families. Listen to your gut!
Years ago, I spoke up for my 14-year-old daughter, but my concerns weren’t fully listened to. I’ve always wished I had pushed harder. She was sent home without much testing, and two days later, she passed away.
So, if you ever have concerns—no matter how minor—please speak up and keep advocating. Trust your instincts; they are there for a reason.
This is so important for parents to know how to raise it further if they don’t think their child is receiving the medical support they need! I know this article refers to the NSW system but other systems have similar procedures just with different names. I know in QLD it’s called Ryan’s Rule.
It’s so important to follow your gut instincts and express your concerns indeed. I have never hesitated to advocate for my children in various situations and I don’t care what other people think about it. Not all doctors and medical staff appreciate it when you question them, I’ve experienced that it may result in angry indignant responses.
How true this is! While nurses and doctors are the medical professionals doing their job on the daily, we know our children better than anyone and what is ‘normal’ for them. I would always speak up if I had noticed any changes in my child’s health and encourage other parents to do so too. No question is silly!
This really is such an important issue and a good topic to discuss with people, I am often surprised that people are worried about being judged. This is not something I care about; the priority is for the care and health of everyone is my family. Parents know their children and need to work with health professionals for the best outcomes for their children.
This is such an important issue to raise, and no one should ever feel ashamed, nervous or that they are being OTT for advocating for their kids, themselves or loves ones in hospital. In QLD we have Ryan’s Rule. A three step process where your concern will be escalated if they believe the patients condition isn’t improving or is worsening.
I have never been afraid to advocate for my children and partner and extended family and also friends. It is so important to listen and to trust intuition. When people have not listened, I have persevered and kept on with insisting on care and making sure they truly listened and took action.
