Re: Got My Vita-Mix - YAY
Hi Willow,
I just got one 4 days ago and i'm really excited and happy too :). When my $25 blender died, i ordered the vitamix the same day. I have made smoothies out of such things as grapefruits, pineapple, apples, pears, strawberries, blueberries, watermelon. Then there's the lettuce/celery/red bell pepper combo, the carrot/celery/lettuce combo and finally the pureed (sp) soup from such nutritional powerhouses as kale/collards/bok choy/swiss chard as well as cream of broccoli/asparagas.
I enjoy chewing, partly for the creation of enzymes in the saliva and i always swish each sip around in my mouth before swallowing, but i really like the fact that i am releasing the nutrients and making them more assimilable(bursting the cell walls) without having to chew 1000 times per bite.
It was a big expense ($449 + 20 for red + tax), but i feel it was/is very much worth it as i place such a high premium on sensational nutrition and i believe this Ferrari of blenders will make it more fun and easy to achieve this.
