Green Lemonade

Following additional clarity on the “which high powered blender is better debate” a few of your wrote in to share what you love about your blenders. Thank you all for sharing! I hope these thoughts might help some of you who are on the fence about these blenders.

Also Green Lemonade reader Shari asked if we could expect an all glass container, instead of the BPA free plastic containers which are currently included with both the Vitamix and Blendtec blenders. Unfortunately at this time it seems as though the challenge with a glass container on a high speed blender is that the glass is either too heavy for the motor (causing too much strain) or too light (which leads to chipping). Let’s all keep our fingers crossed for the future. A glass container would be nice in so many ways.

Vitamix Customer Reviews

• Ally writes: I am trying to eat more fresh, organic foods and the Vitamix is making it a lot easier for me! I look forward to my green smoothie every morning!
• Kate writes: I was nervous to spend the money on such an expensive kitchen appliance, but the Vitamix has helped me whip up a healthy green smoothie when I’m crunched for time. Before I would have just eaten lots of toasted bread and peanut butter!
• Heather writes: I love my Vitamix! My kids are eating fresh spinach every morning now! I sneak it into their green smoothies!
• Sue writes: I love how my Vitamix makes my smoothies and roasted vegetable soups so c-r-e-a-m-y!
• Erica writes: I throw everything in my Vitamix, and there hasn’t been any smoking yet!

Blendtec Customer Reviews

• Silvia writes: I owned a Vitamix in the past and gave it up in a move. This time I went with a Blendtec. I love how you don’t have to take everything apart. It’s also smaller than the Vitamix which fits nicely on my counter.
• Lynn writes: My husband and I have a green drink inspired by Dr. Oz every morning. The Blendtec just makes it taste so much better.
• Anne writes: I live in a small studio apartment in New York City, the Blendtec fits perfectly in my tiny kitchen. I have been using it for everything, including some terrific summer gazpachos!
• John writes: The Blendtec is amazingly quick to clean. It literally takes me less than 2 minutes. No excuse not to make one before work. Thanks Noelle!
• Julia writes: I love the one-touch buttons. I can throw everything in a blender, press the appropriate smoothie button and go. It’s great.
