Guest guest Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Hey there Leanne - Lea Ann here! :-) As said, to make carrot juice like you are used to, you must separate the fiber from the juice. I prefer to clean up a nut milk bag to cleaning up my Champion juicer. on the other hand has a Norwak (the Rolls Royce of jiucers) which is easier to clean :-) Here is the link to the source where and I buy Nut Milk bags: http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40 & _trksid=p3984.m38.l1313 & _nkw=nut+mylk & _sa Blessings,Lea Ann SavageSatellite Beach, FL(321) 773-7088 (home)(321-961-9219 (cell)))><'>www.VitamixLady.comwww..com<))>< New Person Hi, I'm Leanne from Vancouver, B.C. and bought a VM last week after watching demos for many years. I'm really enjoying the VM but seem to get stuck on the same things because they're so good !! I need to experiment more.What I would really like to make is a great carrot juice. Most of the recipes I've seen call for very little carrot or they start with "carrot juice". Another piece of advice I need is - can you put a rind from the parmesan cheese in a soup recipe? I usually do in homemade soup - just for the flavor and take the rind out before eating it. Has anyone ever used the rind?I know I will enjoy this group and look forward sharing with all of you.Cheers,Leanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Welcome, Leanne! You can simmer a Parm rind in soup but blending it is a no-no. The rind of what many feel is the world's finest cheese has flavor but lousy texture (it's hard as a rock and requires a special blade to cut it) and just isn't meant to be eaten. Simmer it or toss it. If you go to the group's home page, you'll find a good, very inexpensive source for nut milk bags that can be used for juicing the purée your Vita-Mix will give you. However, if you want to do a really good job of making carrot juice, you need a juicer. I've had a Vita-Mix since 1988 but I've always had a juicer as well.
