Guest guest Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Yes, the Vitamix container is about 64oz, I think. It's too tall to fit under most cabinets. :-) Sharon Kim wrote: > , Sharon Zakhour > <sharon.zakhour wrote: > >> Me too! >> >> This was my smoothie this morning: >> > > You must have the large economy size blender! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Vita- Mix is an incredible machine. It takes ice and hard veggies and fruits and purees them to fine slush, that makes the best smoothies ever. They use them at those smoothie bars in the mall and sell them in Health food stores, on their internet site and periodically in places like Costco and Sam's Club when they are in the store doing demo's. I love mine and have had it for about 8 years. Still going great and their customer service is incredible, should you ever need it. They have loads of recipes for smoothies on the Vita-Mix website. http://www.vita-mix.com/ BTW they now have a 32 ounce container you can also buy, that will fit under your cabinets, if you would like that. - Sharon Zakhour Wednesday, June 27, 2007 8:02 AM Re: Re: Sharon smoothie with greens Yes, the Vitamix container is about 64oz, I think.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 and makes ice cream and the smoothiest creamy soups ever. You can also grate a carrot and cabbage in it if you add water to it and then drain off the water afterwards.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Wow ! I would love to have one of these machines but at almost $600 I could buy a new washing machine and dryer.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Deanna, I used to feel the same way. But now it's just as important as my washer and dryer and I use it far more often. (I use it every day and sometimes 2 or 3 times a day.) And places like Costco and Sam's Club have promotions where you can save some money. Also, you don't really need the grain container. I have it but I've never used it. I used my 32oz container to grind spices and things. (You can use the other containers to grind dry things.) Also, they sell reconditioned machines which have a warranty which is another good way to go. One of my favorite things to do as a treat is to make sorbets. You put in a frozen banana, some frozen cherries or mango, a little vanilla extract, maybe a date to sweeten, and turn it on. The most delicious soft-serve sorbet! Sharon genny_y2k wrote: > Wow !

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 It does everything, and it lasts for years and years. I got the professional model about 15 or more years ago, and it still runs as it did when I got it. I have replaced the seal once.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 we got our Vita-Mix for about $400 at a home show last year. i've been keeping track, and we've already paid for ours with money saved from eating breakfast on the run. plus, we've lost, respectively, 10, 12, and 18 pounds since then. i buy ripe bananas on clearance, strawberries on sale, and so on, and freeze them in serving sizes, so when it's smoothies for breakfast time, it's just a matter of tossing 'em in (along with the other stuff). it's amazing what you can put (hide) in a smoothie! yumm-O!\ ron , " Marilyn Daub " <mcdaub wrote: > > It does everything, and it lasts for years and years.
