I just spent $99.00

I just bought Vita-Mix's new Tritan, Copolyester, BPA-free
48-ounce container from Vita-Mix Corp....1-800-848-2649.
It's a perfect size for one person, the 32-ounce being too
small (for me anyway...I have been using a 48-ounce
Polycarbonate container), and the 64-ounce too large.
I'm as Happy as a Clam.....WY

I don't use the full 48-ounces for a single serving,
it's more like 30, but I like the extra room.....WY

Yeah I'm well aware of the necessity of a little extra space, I used a food prep attachment for about a year (32 oz probably), blending in one go was impossible due to strength of motor and solids take up so much volumetric space compared to liquid. I basically had to blend a handful of fruits/veggies at a time and keep adding to the blend.

Having a 64 oz carafe seems ridiculously enormous to me. I put in way too much last night since I'm so accustomed to cramming as much as I can into the carafe.. Had 3 tall glasses and I had to drink it all since no one else was home. Felt like crap this morning lol. I think that was my weirdest blend too.

2 slices of bell pepper
1 brocoli
1 stalk of celery
5 kale leaves
1 teeny orange
1 banana
cup of carrot juice
1 cup of ginger juice
1 handfull of blueberries
(taste of bell pepper was very potent, so I added frozen blueberries which helped some, but weird resulting flavor, spicy blueberries hah)

yeah, green bell pepper I find really potent, and after my first time trying it juiced, I didnt even try it blended... I DID make a kinda mexican-ish raw soup with bell pepper once...was tasty.

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
