I follow all that you stated above.

Having a Vitamix really helps, but there are some things you can mix in a regular blender effectively.

I've shared this story before, but I wanted to tell you again. My husband told the guys at work, when he was working (argh!), "My wife bought a $500 blender." They were, like, "WHAT?!!!" Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Hey! Tell me about this blender! Seriously.

I juiced some veggies up the other day. Greens and such. It was pretty good but my husband said UGH! that tastes like alfalfa! And he wouldn't drink anymore. He did, however, really like the juiced fruit I made.

ILG, I am so sorry I missed this yesterday.



I purchased mine at Bed, Bath and Beyond. You can go to the Vitamix website and locate the nearest Retailer.

It is great because, unlike a regular blender or a juicier, you get ALL the benefits of the fruits (have to peel your oranges, but then seeds don't have to be discarded) and vegetables. A juicer discards the skins and a blender does cut it up fine enough.

You do need to add an apple and/or banana to cut the bitterness of the vegetables you are adding. I found that bell peppers, cilantro, fresh ginger add a wonderful flavor to a smoothie. I also have a thread here with Smoothie recipes.

It is well worth the price and has an awesome warranty. Hope you can get one soon!
