    Default Tell me a little about the Vitamix and berries

    I have been reading how it can basically blend anything and it looks awesome.

    One thing I have a question about though......

    I love BERRY juices in the morning. I have a L'Equip blender right now. But the little tiny seeds are a pain and I hate them!

    Will the Vitamix pulverize those little tiny seeds in berries?????

    Thank you!,

    The vitamix pulverizes the tiny seeds, but the texture of plain berries blended with water is a bit odd. The texture is just a tad bit sandy. It's hard to describe.
    However, a mix of berries with other ingredients is delicious and you don't notice the texture at all. Blackberries blended with almond milk are awesome. Raspberries, rommaine and bananas make a great smoothie, too.

    Yeah, the seeds aren't eliminated, but they're all cut into small pieces. I can always still tell there are berries in there, because of the little pieces, but it doesn't bother me.

    Thank you! I really wish I could try one with the items I want to try in it! It sounds like I would like one though.

    I am saving up for one and hopefully when they come to Costco this summer I can get one.

    Since I have a blender, I am focusing first on the other items I need!

    Thanks!,
