    Hi Steve,

    Just wondering, couldn’t you have blended all those yummy veggies right in the VitaMix (w/out the need to juice them)? The demo I got before buying my VitaMix said this thing is powerful enough to juice the seeds on strawberries…so just wondering why you juiced before blending.

    Thanks!

    Jackie,

    I used to do it that way yet what I have found, especially with all the greens I use, it gets way too thick even when I use lots of coconut water and pristine water. It also seems like I get a more potent green juice when I juice some of the greens and fruits first. With that said, my Vita-Mix will blend everything and I love it.
