I got my new "Blender" today! However, much to my delight, it's more than just a blender! It's a Juicer, Blender, Food processor all in one. And while it does juice, it also leaves the pulp in the juice unlike my juicer that I have, takes the pulp out! All that fiber! But I haven't tried it for juice yet, so I won't brag on it in that aspect quite yet. I made a smoothie with it this afternoon and Wow! I'm amazed at how smooth the smoothie was! It was like one you'd get at a smoothie place! And it blended it up without any effort. Unlike my little mini thingy that I'd been using! This kitchen item gets 5 stars from me!
It also will mix up cookie dough, bread/pizza dough, ect. Though I haven't tried that function either, but will post when I do and give a review on that as well.
I've seen these things at Kohls and wondered about them. I have a Vitamix which does great smoothies and hundreds of other things, too.
ReplyDeleteI like having a separate juicer that takes out the fiber for the times I want the nutrition of the juice without the fiber (like cleansing, etc)...
I am happy with you over your new 'toy'. "-) Let us know how you like it after you tried the things you haven't tried on it yet, ok?
I will! I was curious about the juice with the fiber in it, it's kind of scary to me, cause I don't like pulpy juice, even orange juice with pulp in it! I always bought the pulp free! So not sure if I'll try it for juice.
ReplyDeleteI would like to try making cookie dough in it thought, or brownies. I'd love to have a vitamix, but I can't afford one right now....
Hey, I met a lady on Facebook that does Rip's diet as well adn she said she makes her bread in her vitamix, doesn't use oil, because she uses whole grains and they still have oil in them. I asked her for her recipe, so maybe that will help us out with our oil free bread! :)
Oh, and she reads our blogs too! :)
