Re: Can anyone give info on Vitamix?

[Guest guest]

Esther, I just got a vitamix mostly bc I want to make bean flour. But a week ago members on the list sent recipes for soups they make in the vitamix. I'm really looking foward to trying some of them. I've been making smoothies for my family with yogurt, blueberries, spinach, oj, and apples. I take the seeds out of the apples but they go in with he skins. The vitamix doesn't shoot out pulp like a juicer will. It will grind whatever you put in there. And my daughter who is on a temporary phase of "criticizing" (yet understanding the rationale) of me making everything we eat told me I made the best applesauce she's ever eaten before. Sometimes she just gets it. And that was made in the vitamix. UC-C 12/09SCD 1/10Daily, CLO, Magnesium, bromelain, acidophilus Mom of 2 crazy monkeys :-)

I am thinking of investing in a vitamix juicer/blender bit need some help.

Is there no pulp left after juicing(like a blender)?

If so do you get a clear juice product or a thicker product than a regular juicer?

Is there any residue to clean out?

Esther,

The Vitamix is good and powerful blender. It pulverizes the fruit or

vegetable completely and mixes it with whatever liquid you use. I like

mine, and use it quite a bit for making thick, smooth soups. It's easy

enough to clean.

However, it will NOT produce a clear juice.

If you want clear juice, look at the Omega 800x (8005 or 8006 is the

current model; mine is 8002). It's an excellent juicer, produces really

nice stuff and is amazingly easy to clean.
