All veggie juices (answer to Page's question)

[Guest guest]

Hello Page,Here is a V-8 juice recipe from the links page of our website:/message/13905There is a "Cold Green Soup" recipe on my recipes page at www.VitamixLady.comHere is a testimonial from a lady who bought a Vitamix from me after returning her Blendtec…I like the Vitamix over the Blendtec for several different reasons. Making salsa for example...the variable speed allows you to make chunky salsa. It is hard to do that with a Blendtec as they have all pre-programmed cycles and then of course you don't have the tamper. So you would have to stop the blender push the food down, restart again and hope the food will blend.The tamper is a huge selling point and makes all the difference in the world.My Blendtec would what I call shake rattle and roll when putting frozen strawberries in it. In other words, you better be standing right there when blending to hold the blender down. The base of the Vitamix seems solid and handles Anything you put in it without you even notice what is blending.I also love the fact you can make soup in it. I had "tried" it in the Blendtec but again with the pre-programmed cycles you would have to run the cycles many times. Also the lid would pop of in the midst of blending and I was always fearful of getting burned because I had expereienced getting burned. So the Vitamix you know won't surge out of the lid or pop the lid off. It is a huge differenceI can only wish I had bought the Vitamix in the first place but then...how would I know what I know now.I would be happy to have you use this as a testimonial as I am sold on vitamix!!Thanks for your quick response and helpful information!!I hope this is helpful Page!

Hello;I am new to this group, do not have either vitamix or blendtec, am thinking about buying one of these. I have a champion juicer that I use to make green juices. My juices contain only vegetables and my reason for thinking of changing to a blender is to also eat/drink the vegetable pulp. I understand one needs liquid volume in using the blender. How would this work, as I do not put any liquid in my juices. Any advice will be much appreciated. Page
