I've used it to make one of the soup recipes that comes with the machine. It was very good. Probably would never make ice cream. Although I blended a Banana and organic chocolate one time. It was really good.
There is a smoothie thread around here somewhere. I turn any juicer recipe into a smoothie. Although, I think a juicer is the better choice for carrot juice. It will be thicker, in a Vitamix, being that the fiber is included. That is a plus with a Vitamix.
For my Kale and Spinach, I blend them separately with a little distilled water and then put them in ice trays. After they are frozen, I put the cubes in a ziplock bag. That way the greens won't get bad on me. You know how Spinach does in the frig? So, then I put about 3 or 4 ice cubes in my smoothie and I have my greens. No waste.
