I have no useful advice for you, but wanted to chime in nonetheless. My 19-month-old Logan loves his vegetables, but won’t eat any meat (or many other forms of protein), so I feel your pain. I have that J. Seinfeld cookbook too, and absolutely love the idea. I just haven’t organized myself enough to purchase the required vegetables and make the sneaky puree. One of these days, though…

My husband bought me one for mother’s day years ago, and I lOVE it. We make nutritious smoothies at a fraction of the cost, homemade fresh salsa, soups, and also grind wheat berries for fresh bread and other grains for flour. Also some fabulous blended coffee drinks:) Little pricey, but worth it’s weight in gold. With 6 kids, we’ve saved 10 times that amount in smoothies alone. After 6 years of use, it works like it’s brand new. I highly recommend it!

I would recommend a mini blender which is multifunctional and easy to use and clean. Have been using it for my kids for the past 4 years daily with no problems. It is small enough to pack away and do individual portions for feeds. It is also more affordable and does not take up a lot of counter space.

Get a Vita Mixer. I have had one for about 10 years & absolutely love it. Used it with my toddlers for fun smoothie drinks. Used if for myself for my carrot drinks phase. Now teenagers use it for a huge variety of protein shakes. Use it to make waffle batter. You can even get the dry blade to grind oats or wheat bran – never did that though. 10 years it is still going strong, so a great investment. Also makes yummy margaritas, after you have had the healthy stuff of course!

I was transfixed by a person demo-ing one of these at Costco. Holy Moly I coveted one. Well not coveted cause that is one of the top 10 baddies, but wanted one really, really bad.

Must it ONLY do healthy stuff? What about frappucinos and shakes and margaritas and such? Wheat germ schmeat germ.

I left a comment earlier from work and it must not have posted. We LOVE our Vitamix and it was the best 350.00 we ever spent. Look at Sam’s Club website and find out when the road show comes to a Sam’s near you. You can also go to discountjuicers.com and buy one from there. I am sorry we waited so long to buy one. I have made up some great soup and smoothie recipes.

p.s. we use it twice a day!

No experience with vita-mix – not experience with Magic Bullet either for that matter – http://www.buythebullet.com/howitworks.php – but Jessica does recommend this little beauty too – didn’t she say Jerry bought it off one of those tv informercials or something? Costco has them and I’m thinking of trying one of these. I *heart* that book.
