I need a blender a food processor, any suggestions?

Libby

I’m pretty new to going raw and I need to update my blender. I’ve read alot about the vitamix but I am concerned about the high speed heating my food past healthy temperature.

Also do I need a food processor also?

Thanks for any help you can give me, Libby

I have a vitamix and it is well worth the cost. I use it several times a day. You can use it for so much more than a regular blender because it is so powerful. Typically, it blends things in less than 20 seconds and doesn’t warm it at all. The only time it heats stuff is if I put nuts in it with very little liquid, or something quite thick, even then, it has never gotten near 105 degrees.

For a food processor, I would say cuisinart as an investment. Hamilton Beach is only $30 though and it is the best until you can get a cuisinart.

I have a cuisinart combo food processor and blender all in one and I am thrilled. It’s very loud though – almost too powerful. I think I paid about $70 for it.
