Re: Re: choking on coconut fiber

[Guest guest]

thanks Alobar.

i watch for stuff at yard sales etc...got a nice waring juicer cheap last

year. a Vitamix would've went by me then, but now it's in my fuzzy

database. i have a good enough blender for the time being, but upgrading is

always nice.

i've been chopping the nuts with a cleaver each morning since it's only a

few, and this last grinder lasted quite awhile. got thrown off discipline

track trying to do something quick and larger volume for visitors recently

though.

I bought my vitamix when I had to go on a liquids and soft foods diet

for 6 months as part of my TMJ treatment.

They are indeed expensive, but I really needed it, and have never

regretted it.

I don't use it as much now that I eat very little fruit, and no juices.

For those who can eat such things though, the vitamix juices were

wonderful, and the orange sherbet is to die for. I loved the soups too.

And mine ground a lot of whole grains into flour for bread, back when I

ate such things.

I found it made great tahini, and hummus, though they needed to be a bit

thinner than some people might prefer. I don't eat those anymore either.

It makes really good nut milks, which I also don't use anymore.

I certainly could not justify the purchase of one now, but I'm not

giving it up either, LOL.

My goodness, this reminds me just how much my diet has changed in the

last few years.

7 year warranty that the company really does honor, if they still offer

that. Really good recipe book. Great instruction book too. Not your

little flimsy.

I bought my first Vitamix in the '70s and traded it in 2 years ago (it was

dying, but they took it in trade anyway) for the latest model.....still using it

a lot...wouldn't do without it for smoothies mostly, but other things as well.

I like dumping in the whole fruits and just whirling it a bit; adding ice,

protein powder and rice milk ; )

They still do the 7 yr warranty, and their customer service is great! We had

some trouble with the blades shortly after getting the new one and the gal on

the phone had us turn it on, she listened and diagnosed the problem and sent us

the new part with instructions how to change it out....works great again!

Oatmeal and coconut flour sounds like a great combination.

Cheers, Doug
