[quote=Anonymous]I'm not a raw foodist by any means, but I wanted to add more veggies to my diet so DH and I started making raw veggie smoothies every morning in our Vitamix. At first, I followed the recipes in the Vitamix cookbook, then started just creating my own. The base always has either tomatoes or carrots (or both) for the sweetness. We then add any or all of the following: Spinach, Kale, Broccoli, Zucchini, Cucumber, Peppers (I like to add half of a chili pepper for heat!), cilantro, parsley, beets, etc. Add ice as well to keep it cold and thin it out. The sky's the limit and you get a lot of veggies in one big glass of smoothie. But I think you need a really powerful blender like a Vitamix and run it for a full 2-3 minutes once everything purees otherwise it's too grainy and thick. [/quote]
