1. You will need to use a blender on it's highest speed. It will take much longer than the Vita-Mix, and it will not be as creamy smooth, and,

Great video, good smoothie recipe that allows for lots of variations. A vitamix is NOT a ripoff. I've used one vitamix/older model that I bought off ebay 15 years ago and it still works perfectly. Different strokes for different folks.

Hi Serena,

You are correct about the Vita-Mix. We put ours through hell, and have for about 20 years. I originally thought the person who made those lame comments was a moron. I learned that he is only 19 years old, and obviously has led a sheltered life, not understanding that things that are made in the USA will always cost more, but that the value is so much higher in so many, many ways.

I appreciate the time you take to make a video. The pre-blended sweetner technique will be added to my new found lifestyle. Just watching you work with the vitamix helps me a bit.

No offense taken Alan--it is a valid question, and the belly is big. The reason is simple. I just eat too much.

I used to do it to survive. I was the "98 pound weakling," and if I didn't eat five meals a day I was afraid i would blow away. Then i got into body building, construction, etc. and ate because I was burning it off.

Now I spend 14 hours a day thumping on a keyboard, occasionally getting up walk three blocks to the store for more food.

And yet, I have lost 45 lbs. Go figure!
