I do go smoothie crazy, when I stay in chattanooga for work there is a smoothie king right outside my hotel. I hit that shit several times a day.

Yeah, seriously, it's pretty awesome. My big blender is a big pain the ass. It's not self cleaning though. This thing cleans up quick.

Let me know when you outgrow it, I'll introduce you to the real deal.

What's the real deal?

I have an old Vitamix.

It's basically a stainless blender cup (replete with spout) fitted with hammermill blades, and a 2.5hp router motor as a base.

It also has a blade reversal feature for even higher speed blade/food collisions.

Something ridiculous in the hundreds of MPH, IIRC.

Does it give you recipes? Caloric content?

it's got that little recipe book, I haven't really checked it out. I just throw a bunch of shit in it and see if it tastes good right now.

I've got my strawberry banana recipe down now for portions of each and other ingredients to make it taste like smoothie king. That's my favorite.

Damn you! You've given me smoothie craving!

I need to check that out, I love smoothies.

We got a big ass full size blender deal. It sat in the cupboard for years. We've actually been using it a lot lately.

They're good shit. I'm a smoothie addict, but the work involved with a full blender has really pissed me off. I was using those new smoothie packets made by yoplait i believe at walmart in the ice cream section, but they are expensive as fuck. This works much better and I get fresh fruit.

How big are the cups with it?

I was thinking about getting one because I drink a smoothie for breakfast everyday and have gotten my husband into it as well.

I make a 32 oz smoothie though, so the regular sized blender works for me.
