I have a Cuisine Art Blender that has 600 watts of power ( it really blends anything I put in it!) I am looking to start juicing but do not want to miss out on all the nutrients and fiber that is found in the skin of veggies and fruits. With juicing its con is that it discards some of the best parts, but its pro is that it is pure liquid and very easy to drink.
I did an experiment at home with my blender after watching the health master infomercial and put a whole apple (not chopped) whole orange (peeled) 1 cup of spinach, half cup of blueberries, a full banana, a cup of ice and about a cup and a half of water. My blender was able to make this whole thing up into a smoothie without a problem. It tasted pretty good and I could see myself drinking it.
My big question is, to those of you that own a Health master or Vita Mix, will the health master be able to make this drink into more of a liquid, or is my blender pretty sufficient to do the job?
