I started out with the Blend-Tec HP3, which the BlindGuru (or someone just like him) had promoted on a different website. It is a good blender. Before promoting that 20 Amp blender by Blend-Tec, BlindGuru had demonstrated and recommended the Vita Prep 3 over the HP3 and the Waring X-Treme with a Vita-Mix carafe over the Vita Prep 3. Based on that video, I purchased that combination and can attest

QuoteWe're being shortchanged by the Organic Food Industry. Most of the time there's no more nutrition in organic produce than the non-organic. True, the pesticide issue is important too.
Why do you say that? The information I've read indicates that organic produce is more nutritious than conventionally grown produce.

Back when I drank lots of beer, I drew up plans to make a super can crusher using one of those small-portable hydraulic log splitters. Now I can envision using a log splitter to create a super juice press. LOL.

QuoteJust how powerful do you think a blender for home use needs to be?
I think it's more based on blade design and speed than power, but I want a blender that will pulverize berry seeds. I have a Waring Xtreme with a VitaMix carafe. This morning I put in two cucumbers cut into roughly 2-inch square chunks and a head of butter lettuce cut to fit the width of the carafe at the top and st

65. Re: olives
I'm going to go out on a limb here (pun intended) and say there may be no way to truly know that, but you can know if olives are raw by picking them off the tree.

I bought a pair of rubber padded vice-grips as an ideal pit-cracker. I use it on peaches, nectarines, and apricot pits. They all have a seed that looks just like an almond. I haven't tried plum yet.
I did open a mango pit to discover what appeared to be a gigantic lima bean. Does anyone know if that is edible?

Straining a smoothie through a nut milk bag accomplishes the same thing as using a juicer.

I'm curious to know how long after you have had your juices for breakfast do you wait for your next meal and how much do you consume then.
Thanks,

Bruce:
Thanks for the response.
I did not think about that humming sound that an electric motor makes when operating under a load. There's also a smell that comes out when the motor is operating at or near its peak power rating. The first blender I bought was a Hamilton Beach Bar Boss and I heard and smelled that fairly often until I learned the proper sequence to add ingredients to my smo

Having read their story on their website, I believe MonaVie can benefit those who exist on the SAD way of eating. However, eating as promoted on this website is far better than any non-raw juice such as MonaVie, or the popular one around Tucson--Xango.

Libra:
WY is right on about the SS container. Not being able to afford a high-powered blender when I first started eating raw, I bought one that came with a SS carafe. It was horrible. I had to stop every few seconds to check out the progress. If it was after dark, I had to use a flashlight to see inside of it. The worst part was dropping the flashlight into the smoothie and shorting it out. D

73. Re: Carafe
WYQuoteI've spent Thousands of dollars testing Juicers
and Blenders. I even bought 2 Waring 13 amp Blenders when the
first one I bought had less power than my 12.5 amp Vita-Prep 3.
The second one was the same as the first, a good Blender, but
inferior to the VP3. As Libra said, go by more than just the Spec Sheet

By the way, I even bought a Blendtec SpaceSaver 15amp that didn't have

74. Re: Carafe
LibraQuoteFlash - Have you used both? I'd be interested to hear your comments.
I'm most concerned with the end result. Which one appears to do it's job better, regardless of what the spec sheet says.
I have not used both. I, too, am most concerned with the end results. The only objective demonstration I have seen was by Blind Guru on YouTube, called Pimp my Blender. He concludes the Waring MX1

75. Re: Carafe
If you have not ordered it yet, you may want to reconsider. Even though WY believes the Vita-Prep 3 to have more power than the Waring Xtreme, 12.5 amps(Vita-Mix: Vita-Prep3) is LESS power than 13 amps (Waring: MX1050XTS). And it costs less to buy the Waring blender with the SS carafe than to add the carafe to the VitaPrep 3.

That's pretty much what I have been doing. However, if I am blending tomatoes, I put them in first or with the pre-soaked items.

WY:
In checking prices at Everything Kitchens, it's less for the Waring MX1050XT with a Vitamix container than for the Vita Prep 3.
Also, I'm thinking I could blend up a breakfast smoothie with the Waring container, followed by a lunch smoothie with the Vitamix cantainer so there would be less air introduced and it should last a little longer.
I have a Blendtec HP3 now and it puts too mu

When you tried out the Waring blender, did you notice much difference in the amount of introduced air compared to the Vita Prep 3?

Does your Waring Xtreme blender have only the High, Low, and Pulse controls, pre-programmed cycles, or the manual dial that WY was not happy with? If it's the first choice, how do you typically use the blender

Is it sold?
I have a Blend-Tec HP3 which has been working quite well; however, after seeing that comparison by Blind Guru, I want the Waring blender.
