Well, my Breville blender bit the dust. So, I decided to go for it, and get a Vitamix blender. Williams and Sonoma has a 90 day return policy, so it was a win win for me.

I love this thing! We have been making smoothies twice a day and they are absolutley yummy. Finally, an easy way to chock down spinach! Here is my favorite recipe:

1 cup hemp milk
2 scoops Trader Joes hemp powder
1/2 cup red grapes
5 frozen strawberries
1/4 c of blueberries
3 slices of mango
1 cup of spinach

The blender cleans up super easy. The trick is NOT to use ice cubes if you are using frozen fruit. And chop up pieces of frozen banana and large strawberries.

I see this blender as an investment in my health. You can get the 200 at the Costco road shows. All the motors are exactlly the same on all models.
