Juice Anyone?

Well, we finally broke down and bought ourselves a super powerful blender/food processor - the Vita-Mix 5200 - "The Finest Whole Food Machine...Ever". There was a roadshow at Costco this week and we were sold. We have heard of this and seen this at one of our friends home and we were like, wow, that is a big investment for a blender. Now, I guess we joined the club. The main reason for buying this is for Ethan really...since he does not eat vegetables, we figured he would drink the juice and it worked. The past 2 days, he had all his vegetables to make up for the many months he didn't consume vegetables - broccoli, yellow squash, carrots, celery, cabbage, red bell pepper, plus all the fruits like strawberries, grapes, oranges, apples, bananas, and kiwi. Now, I just need to play with it and try out different recipes. It is an awesome machine and it blends up all the fruits and vegetables (everything - stems, seeds, pulp, etc) and you don't even feel the gritty stuff that regular blenders leave. It can also be used as a food processor for making soups, sauces, etc. Ice cream/smoothies can also be made as well. I think I can open up my own Jamba Juice place :)
