Q: I just purchased a Vitamix in an effort to get my health back! Are the juicing recipes only for use in a juicer or can they be used in the Vitamix as well?
As you can see, I am a beginner.
Thank you so much for your wonderful information.
God Bless,
Kathleen
A: Hi Kathleen! Congrats on your new Vitamix. I love mine SO much- I hope you end up loving yours.
Most of the recipes I have on this site are made for juicing, yes. However, it doesn't mean you necessarily "can't" use them. You can, you just have to modify them a bit. Typically juicing takes way more produce then smoothie-ing since a juicer is seperating the pulp/fiber from the juice. The Vitamix blends it all together (very well, I might add!).
So you probably want to cut one of the juicing recipes down a bit, or try it out to see how it works. You'll probably need to add some spring water, or coconut milk, almond milk, or other juice to blend it smooth.
Take the juice recipes and modify them for your blender.
Or, you can just use these smoothies recipes.
Another option would be to make "blender juice" and conviently, I have a recipe page for that too!

Watermelon juice is easy to do without extra water. Just blend a few pieces in your Vitamix, and it will create a nice juice for you. That's my favorite one, so easy.
I just recently used my Vitamix to make the greatest hummus, and am always coming up with new soups.
Have fun with it!
