Do yourself a favour- save up the money for a vita-mix you will never need to buy another blender in your life- you pay for what you get! There is no comparisson!

Hi Deme,

The second you cut an apple it starts to oxidise- the same goes with juice! It is best to always make juice when you wish to consume it- however sometimes I will consume it up to 6 hours later- just give it a shake- I'm sure it's still good for you! I don't use an extractor though anymore- too much waste. I just through everything in my vita-mix- the seeds, cores, peels and all the precious fibre- no waste at all! I also put in oats, flaxseeds nuts etc. I just rinse it and I'm done.  Easy! Regards, Dan.

If you are using roasted cashews just put in the cashews into your vita-mix- blend with the tamper for 1 minute. They contain there own oil. If you are using raw cashews you will need to add some oil. It's that simple.

I have owned a Vita-Mix Total Nutrition Center for about 11 years now and can say I have almost used it every single day in that period. I have used some of these copy cat products and can only say don't be fooled by quality. I did some research- Vita-Mix have been making blenders now for over 85 years! - they must know what they are doing. I use all the seeds, peels, stems and fibre from all my fruit and vegetables for ultra smooth juice and make up to 2 L of juice at a time- the others can not do this task. Plus I make hot soups in minutes and ice cream in seconds! I make peanut butter and grind all my grains in minutes- it actually kneads for me! Nothing else compares not even the Blendtec as I used to work with these machines in a kitchen but quickly persuaded my boss to get the Vita-Mix instead. The Vita-Mix is the best thing I have ever bought in my life & I hope it well last another 10 years or longer!
