    Default Am I doing something wrong? Vitamix juice

    Woohooo--I'm a proud owner of a Vita-mix~

    But I'm really disappointed in the "juice" I can't get it juicy..it seems more smoothie like..very thick...am I doing something wrong?

    Thanks so much~

    A Vitamix is not a juicer. If you want juice, after you blend, strain it. Otherwise it's meant for smoothies, soups, pate, pudding, etc.

    Dimond said it. It's a blender, not a juicer. Juicers separate the pulp from the fluid. In this case, you've got to do that yourself if you prefer juice.

    Well boooo I was afraid you might say that....perhaps it will just take some getting used to...I heart the fact that it's sooooooooooooo much easier to clean than my juicer~

    Thanks

    I think it's way better than a juicer. I love juice, but a Vitamix does so much more and it's way easier to use and clean.
