Hi Wendy -
I don't know anything about champion, acme and jack lalane. How do they
compare to VitaMix?

I’m not susan, but I bought a used vitamix for $80 Can a few years ago
and it is still going strong!!! And I LOVE it and use it almost every
day… of course I’d love a new one more ;-) LOL We make nut milks and
smoothies and I blend soups in it.
I have to say if it was the only appliance I had, absolutely I would
make all my vegetable juice in it. But I also have accumulated a
champion, acme and a jack lalane (hey don’t laugh-I have 2 little kids
and very little time and I can seriously make 5 kind vegetable juice
and be juiced and cleaned up in 2.5 minutes with the jack lalane -JUST
like the infomercial-so while not the same nutrient quality-better
then nothing which it would be if I had to find the time to chop it
all up to go in the champion)
Victoria Boutenko, the raw foodist, uses a Vitamix for all the
juice.nutmilks in her video and shows a few ways you can do that - we
make either a green slushy, which could be apple, water, kale or chard
or dandelion etc., lime to make it palatable (even my kids like this)
and then you can drink it thick with a straw or strain it in the nut
milk bag, into green vegetable juice as Victoria does in the video.
Most of the nut milk bags I found were made from nylon but I recently
found some organic unbleached cotton ones in the states (as always ;-)
) from this very kind lady http://rawglow.com/sproutbag.htm and they
make superb almond milk and strain juice too.
I can tell you that with the vitamix I can even take a strawberry
smoothie, add carrots and celery to it for the kids if we are in a
hurry and you cannot even tell they are in there. It is smooth as
smooth. From my understanding it will also do nut butters, breads etc.
although I’ve never wanted to push this old one too much just in case.

Susan can you use the vita mix the same way as a juicer? I thought
that a vita mix was just a high powered blender that crushed ice and
fruit. Does it work as effectively as a regular juice extractor? I
have been wanting to buy a good juicer but find them so cumbersome.
