 She's laughing at me. Today we're so excited. We're at the Vitamix store with Michelle, our old friend and not old, our friend that we've had for a long time. And so, instead of just making something today, green juice, every other green juice, I want to ask the question that I love asking everyone, and that is what's in your morning blend? So, Michelle? I'm just going to say you asked for it. People come in all the time when they're looking at Vitamix and they go, well, what do you make on your Vitamix? And when we're doing the demo, we usually do the green smoothie. That's a really sweet green smoothie. Yeah, that's a starter. And I tell them, you're not ready for this. This is advanced level. You can't handle this. What are we making? What did you call it? The girls here at the store call it my icky green juice. It was not so easy. I've kind of used this as like a mid-morning early afternoon bridge, and then I eat lunch a little bit later now. It's my little boost. But anyways, there's not a lot of sweet in here. Okay, that's great. You've got to have your taste buds evolve. And you don't need as much sweet. Well, and that's what I tell them with the green smoothie, the one that we demo in the store all the time, is you just kind of start easing back on that and omitting first to use your vegetable base. It's just a matter of letting your palate adjust. So are you ready? I'm ready, icky green. I use almond milk in my smoothies just because I think it helps them stay emulsified a little bit longer with the creaminess that it adds. So liquids down first. Always, always, always. Liquids first. And then next comes leafy greens, which I've got about two cups of spinach, and when I'm at home, I just take giant just about as much as I can in there, which is, again, leads to the icky greenness. Always spinach. Have you ever changed up the green or just spinach? I do, depending on when I'm at home. If I've got romaine lettuce or a little bit of kale, I don't do all kale. Kale is like a stronger thing, and I usually like to blend my greens. I agree. It's not for everybody. It is strong, and even when we make kale salads, we let the dressing sit on it to kind of absorb and soften up a little bit. I like that better. The other thing I'm going to do is juice with half a lemon. It's a great way to kind of wake up your smoothie. Depending on what I've got going on at home, sometimes I'll use juice of half a lemon, sometimes I'll just take, I'll leave the rind on and just make like a quarter inch slice of lemon. It just depends. So for you, I did the actual juice of a lemon. Then, obviously, anything dense, which in this case is some celery, some cucumber, I didn't bother to seed it or take the skins off. Sometimes I use an English cucumber, sometimes a regular one, whatever's on hand. Half a pear, that's my only sugar growing. And this solid stuff is going to help kind of push everything down. Then my frozen one is some ice cubes just to cool it down and thicken it up a little bit, although it's pretty thick on its own. I'm going to head and stop the program because I know this one's done already. It's really green. It looks icky. No, it looks really, really good. I can smell the vegetables. Yeah, definitely. The celery, especially. Yeah, and the cucumber will come through a lot too. Cheers. He didn't flinch. That's a good sign. It's very good. It's not icky. It is a rare vegetable juice. It's a vegetable juice. It really is. It doesn't taste like grass. No. It is quite good. It's really, really good. I've made it before when I haven't had the lemon but that's the key component because otherwise it's almost too celery. Yeah, you've got to do lemon. You could spice it up. You could do a little jalapeno in here too if you like spicy. Actually, that's a great idea. I like it. This is not a treat. This is not candy, but you are treating yourself your body. You feel good after this. I feel great. This is not your morning blend per se, but this is your late morning and early afternoon blend. You've got to be awake to have a thing like this. I can't do this first thing in the morning. It's better for me a little bit later in the day. But if you were going to make a morning blend, maybe be something a little sweeter. Maybe. Yeah, I know. It's a cup of coffee. Don't talk to me until after that. I have to have the coffee first. That's the one thing I can't seem to get rid of. We do say that this type of thing can replace coffee, that feeling of being energized. I still love the taste of coffee and having it in the morning. Even though I don't need it, I go weeks without it and I'm fine. I just enjoy life with a little coffee too. You can have both, right? Absolutely. Have your green juice and eat your coffee too. Icky green juice in the morning. You don't share this with your family because it's too icky. My kids cringe when they see it coming out of the blender. I like it. The only problem is you can't tell the difference between the green juice and a delicious green juice. That's true. We don't want to scare people. When it comes to the kids too, I always say a slice of beaten bear changes it to purple. Okay. If you're trying to get those greens in for your kids, I always do that too. Make it purple. My dad's afraid of green stuff too. Icky green juice. Michelle Vitamix Retail Store in Solon, Ohio. Thank you for watching. Cheers. We're so excited. We're here in Solon, Ohio. Right?
