Hi all! I found these forums while searching for green smoothie recipes. I started reading, and I don’t know if I want to go 100% raw, but I want to at least start by replacing two meals (breakfast and lunch) with green smoothies. I’ve been reading and I see that Vitamix and Blendtec are favorites :) I have done some research and I think that, eventually, one of the two (probably a Vitamix) is in my future. The thing is, is that I will have to save up for a little while first. In the mean time, I need a blender that will do the job. I have a dinky Sunbeam one that is about 5 years old and I know it won’t do what I need it to do.
What are your suggestions for a blender (I’ll have about a $150 budget) while I’m saving up for my Vitamix?
Thanks!
Megan

Thanks for all the replies! I think that my plan will be to go raw 100% and I think that will be easier to do once I see and feel the benenfits of the smoothies :)
Keep those recomendations coming though! I’m off to look for yummt smoothie recipes….
I am in the same place as you. I thought about getting a blended to hold me over but have found that if I add just the greens with the water first and blend for a good while it breaks up everythink ok. If you haven’t read Green For Life yet it is a good start. It has recipes in the back that are simple and tasty. I replace two meals with my smoothies and I feel great. I even lost some weight. Good luck!
