Date: September 01, 2010 07:34PM Hey everyone, new here.
I just got a used Vita-Mix 3600 and used it to make my first green smoothie. I mixed it for less than 2 minutes and it was warm when I was done. Is this normal? Also, there were still small bits of apple peel present in the mix. Still did a better job than my food processor, but was hoping all the little bits would be liquified. I was afraid to blend too long since it was getting warm. Any input? Re: New to Vitamix-made my smoothie warm?

Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life? Re: New to Vitamix-made my smoothie warm?

I usually don't blend for a solid 2 min.; I will do maybe 30 sec. or maybe a bit longer, then I will "pulse" the blender, alternate between hi/lo. Try adding a bit of produce in stages, not all at once. Re: New to Vitamix-made my smoothie warm?
