    Bought a Montell Williams blender machine to make healthy vegetable-fruit mix smoothies. Only had 4 recipies with vegetable-fruit smoothies. Tons of fruit smoothies, I was ready to send back my machine for refund since I was not satisfied!! Thanks to your site, Montell’s machine will have a second chance.

    I made this recipe, but had to varry it some since there wasn’t enough liquid to it. I added some spicy tomato sauce, a bit of water, and about 1/2 cup more salsa than the original recipe called for. Turned out yummy tho!

    I, too found this far too sludgy. So I added some tomato soup and 1/2 c. water. Left out the seeds, garlic and onions. Still too thick. So I heated it like soup, plopped in some organic yoghurt and it was delicious.

    I value your opinion, so I would like to ask you of what brand of blender do you recommend and why?

  7. Blender Man on January 29th, 2012 4:16 pm

    @jack – I honestly use and recommend the Vitamix blender. You can order it here and save shipping costs:http://www.smoothieweb.com/smoothie-store/ – it is expensive but you will never need another blender and it blends anything. But if that is out of your price, then the Ninja Blender is a good choice – Ninja Blender NJ600.
