Buy a set of blades when you buy your vita mix, beacause this company has radically changed, they used to stock blades,& parts for years. They do not have anything for my Vita Mix 4500. I will never ever buy another vitamix. I am using an Oster Fusion 1000 watt Blender wich cost $50. it does a great job making my green smoothies.

I've been to Ireland and I remember that produce was in a lot of plastic bags. Have you thought about looking into wild edibles, perhaps dandelions, clover and lambsquarters. Our farmers have started selling edible weeds at the markets, its a blessing for them as they can make money from something they used to consider a pest. You could talk to some farmers and ask if they would bring you some wild edibles. Another ideas is growing your own wheatgrass and others greens. A Blendtec is still a good choice.

But I have to say I'm happy with the choice though. I love the smoothies. We also don't get a lot of different greens here in Dublin. I get mostly Cabbage, Curly Kale, Spinach. That's it. Sometimes I find on the farmers market Chard and that's more or less it. Seems like I life on the moon.

The point is to break the greens up as much as possible, if your smoothies are 'smooth' then its a good sign that the machine is working. It’s fine if that all you have.

I have an awesome Kitchen Aid food processor. I don't have the funds right now to invest in a Vitamix blender so I've been using my food processor.

It thickens it a bit, and I feel like I am not loosing the fiber. I will try my Oster also, especially when I want to use papaya or bananas...they are not juicer material.

It's okay to use your Oster Blender if thats all you have. Juicing is also good, however it takes out the fiber. You may like to read an article on this blog called ‘Blending V’s Juicing’.
