[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We drink a Vitamix Veggie drink almost every morning.  The whole veggies are used so you're not extracting juice and discarding all the fiber and nutrients like you do with a juicer.

We do it because we are in a hurry in the morning, don't have time to make a healthy breakfast, and it's a quick and easy way to get veggies into our bodies on a daily basis.

They fill me up until lunch and taste really good.  I usually cut up veggies on the weekends and have them ready to just throw in the Vitamix every morning with some ice and water to thin it out.

I always have tomatoes, and then add any or all of the following:  celery, zucchini, broccoli, kale, spinach, peppers (if I make one just for DH and myself, I use chilies to give it some spice!), parsley, cilantro, chives, carrots, sliver of onion or garlic.[/quote]

is it bitter? raw broccoli is so strong...[/quote]

It can be if you don't balance it.  That's why I always put tomatoes in - 2 or 3 at least - they really sweeten it up.  When I use broccoli I use a smaller quantity so that it doesn't over power everything else.  Cucumbers will also help balance the flavors.

For the chefs that wonder about home use of Vitamix, I admit that when I bought it several years ago, I really didn't need it for anything that I couldn't use  my regular blender for (DH and I were sold at one of those home show demonstrations!!).  But then when I started making the veggie drinks, I found you really do need something that powerful otherwise they are too gritty to drink.  Especially with things like carrots, beets, broccoli, etc.  And that's when I started using it almost on a daily basis.
