I bought a vitamix a couple of months ago and wasn't sure about it at first--I was using mostly frozen fruit and although there weren't any big chucks, it immediately turned into sorbet and wouldn't blend to a really smooth texture because the majority of it stopped hitting the blade. Now I'm using more liquid and more fresh fruit along with the frozen fruit, and I l.o.v.e it. My kick this week was spinach with frozen mango, fresh pineapple, a fresh clementine, a sliver of raw ginger, and some coconut cream (for extra fiber and fat, so it could be subbed for a light meal and still be filling). Super yum!
