Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 I have a L'equip and a VitaMix (granted it's an older model) and, except for this past week when I took the VitaMix to work so I could fix my green smoothie for the Green Cleanse, it lives under the sink. I got my L'equip for $70 including shipping on eBay. I love it! It does everything I need it to and more. It's the only blender I've ever had that I can run without the lid on and not anoint the kitchen with the contents. If you have your heart set on a VitaMix, you could check out eBay for some good prices but be sure to get one of the newer ones. One of my gripes about mine is that it won't process small amounts of nuts, etc. I'm sure they would have fixed that problem by now. Maybe someone on here who has a new one can let us know.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Mine was a demo but was in new condition. As for fixing smoothies in a food processor, you could probably do small ones. You have to keep the liquid level low enough that it doesn't leak out of the bowl. Maybe you could do one in batches?

Can a high end food processor create a smoothie similar to one made in a blender? I have never owned a food processor, but since beginning my journey into raw food eating, I am thinking that maybe it is time. I have a very cheap blender, but so far it is capable of blending up my green smoothies. I feel that I need to get some idea of what I will need to buy for a replacement soon. > > Thanks for educating me on food processors and blenders. > > elaine > > jerushy1944 <no_reply > wrote: > I have a L'equip and a VitaMix (granted it's an older model) and, > except for this past week when I took the VitaMix to work so I could > fix my green smoothie for the Green Cleanse, it lives under the sink. > I got my L'equip for $70 including shipping on eBay.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Hi, and welcome! The best thing about this group is that everyone gets along....vegetarians, vegans, carnivores who are trying to eat less meat and who are looking for alternative meals, etc. I, too, went veg because of the animals and more and more I find myself leaning toward vegan also. Hope you enjoy it here! TM ______________________ Check out AOL.com today. Breaking news, video search, pictures, email and IM. All on demand. Always Free.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Welcome, Jeanne!!! My felines, and I probably have more than you, delight in melon, especially cantaloupe!!! And they love vegetables, but they also get their meat and their kibble. If you really want some good things to eat, just check out the file section of this group and click on recipes!!! You will be in your glory!!! Marilyn Daub mcdaub Vanceburg, KY My Cats Knead Me!! - Jeanne NunyaNoname Saturday, June 17, 2006 2:14 PM New to the group Hi there, my name is Jeanne and I've been a primary lacto-ovo veggie for over 20 years. Sad to admit, but I have still not acquired an appreciation for tofu or the trendy. Go figure. *grins* Since all the kids have finally moved out, my husband of coming up on forty years and I have had the freedom to eat vegan. We run a no kill cat shelter from our home and the cats (including four large dogs who don't realize they are dogs) all appreciate veggies. Oh, yes, before anyone fears that we are stinting on their protein, they get kibble as well, but there isn't one of the twenty four feline residents here that won't help himself or herself to our veg. (And melon....no melon is safe around here.) Recently I discovered Paul Neuman's tender tiny baby greens for salads and we go through a large container of them every week. Sam's Club carries them, but the refrgerator life isn't quite as long as the generic iceberg lettuce stuff. I cannot say enough good about those greens. (a favorite sandwich here is a crossant, roasted corn kernels, pinto beans, the salad stuff, alfalfa sprouts and a little dressing, cheese optional) For me, the best thing about being a veg is the variety. How many kinds of veggies, fruits and grains are there compared to meats,foul and fish?The worst part about being a veg is when I have had to go into the hospital. Personally I didn't see how difficult it would be to provide a veg meal, but it was. My last day in one hospital they FINALLY brought me food (3 days, no meals, not even oatmeal...idiots). Collard greens with ham, canned corn with butter, applesauce with sugar and something that was supposedly a tossed salad. Seeing as I was in there due to complications to stomach surgery and was not to have hard to digest foods.... My favorite books are the old Diet for a Small Planet and the recipe book that followed it. Perhaps we don't have to be as stringent about protein complimentary as was first thought, but the books are excellent sources for information. I suspect if this avian flu becomes worse, or the mad cow disease spreads, more people will start looking into vegetables for their food. Ever heard of Mad Carrot Disease? Pinto bean flu? I am looking forward to getting to know all here, and exploring new recipes and ideas. Thanks for letting me join! Jeanne _______________ Is your PC infected?

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Hi Cindee, I was in the Peace Corps too, Sri Lanka 1987-89. We sure could have used a cookbook like that. Our little library at the PC office had a Ne York Times paperback cookbook. This was the recipe for pumpkin pie: Take a 9 inch frozen pie crust. Add 1 can pumpkin pie filling. We used to read it just for entertainment lol. Welcome to the group. Do you cook with a lot of grains? I'd like to increase my use of them but I have to learn how to cook small batches as hubby doesn't like dinners that are too Twigs & Green Stuff.

I have to make a couple corrections/clarifications on this point as that " lady " is me. Problem is, I'm male! LOL. No problem, the spelling of the name gets people all the time. But, when it was chosen for me in the year of my birth, it was in both baby books (i.e., male and female). Also, though it would make for a good story for it to be a mistake, the 25 lbs of lima beans were intentional. By referring to it as a " mouseslip, " I only meant that it was an impulse buy, made all the easier by the speed and ease of internet shopping. It's probably a problem for me. And, this particular purchase also high- lights my obsessive-compulsive " need " to stock up at every opportunity. -Erin www.zenpawn.com/vegblog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Hi Suzanne ~ And welcome to our group! Sorry for the delay in welcoming you but I haven't been feeling well. Congrat on the weight loss during the holiday season! It's a tough time with all the food pushers out there! :-) Are you using any sort of eating guidelines or dieting program or just making conscious choices for what's best for yourself and your family? My partner and I are both doing Weight Watchers; it's really nice to have that support both externally and in my home. I've lost 30 pounds since August with many more to go myself. I probably won't get down as low as I'd like before we get me pregnant (I hope anyways because that means it's taking a long time!), but my doc wanted at least 20 shed so I've hit that and more! Again, welcome to our group and make sure to check our files out, we have a lot of supportive information and yummy recipes there. Cindi, co-owner mschana wrote: Hi there! My name is Suzanne, and I’m a 30-something SAHM to a preschooler. DH and I have lived in San Diego for 9 years, and our 10th anniversary is coming up in a few months. DH is an omnivore who eats only a little meat and does it all outside the house. DD is being raised vegetarian. DH used to do most of the cooking, but as his hours at work increased, I’ve been taking over most of the cooking. He’s the one with the great culinary instincts and can invent dishes; I have to go off recipes, but fortunately, I have a large collection of veg*an cookbooks, and I’m getting a little better at adjusting them. I became a vegetarian in the mid-1980s in the meat-packing Midwest – I’d never met a vegetarian in my life, and the only ones I’d heard of were River Phoenix and the McCartneys. :-) Although I often feel like a fish out of water in California, I love that it’s so vegetarian-friendly (but compared to the Midwest, what isn’t? *wink*). Lastly, I’m here because I need support in losing weight. I’m about 80 pounds above a healthy weight for my height/frame. I weighed 290 at my highest in 2000. After 2.5 years of hard work (exercising 1.5-2 hours a day, eating well), I was down to 185 in 2003. Then TTC and pregnancy took a toll – I ended up at 256 at 9½ months pregnant. I lost a bit when she was born, of course, but my weight kept creeping up and up in the last 2.5 years. Last November, I hit 261 pounds – more than what I weighed 9½ months pregnant! I got back on the exercise wagon in November, although I’ve been slacking on exercise since mid-December, I’ve been eating very well in general and lost 3 pounds in the last 7 weeks of 2006 – the best I’ve done during the holiday season for sure. I’ve now lost 1 more pound since New Year’s Eve, so I’m currently at 257. This month, I’m doing a 4-week-long nutritional cleanse. Some things to eliminate have been a moot point (meat, fish), others not too tough (dairy/eggs, since I gave them up in November), and still others challenging to avoid (chocolate, sugar, flour). After the cleanse is over, I plan to keep eating vegan but keep flour/sugar to an infrequent treat rather than a daily thing. I look forward to reading and participating! Cheers, Suzanne .

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Good luck and great determination to change your life and health. I, too,became vegetarian for my health. I am still alive, so I guess it is working. My husband is a meat and potatoes man, too, but has come to love the variety and tastes of vegetarian cooking. He happily eats what I fix for him, daily, but during the day he goes for lunch and eats whatever. Having a couple simple and quick to fix, but delicious dishes will help you. From those you can broaden out, but always have something easy to make available for when you feel weak and just need something to eat.

I was booted from the diabetes for remarking that it is reversible. Crazy! Some people are very attached to and protective of their illnesses. I have seen radically bad type 2 diabetes respond in a matter of weeks! My friend reversed her husband's in no time at all, using a lot of raw foods and raw juices, plus some cooked vegan foods and some great herbs that support the pancreas, etc. She also did some colon cleansing, liver cleansing and kidney cleansing with him. I would say his extremely high blood sugar readings were coming out pretty normal within a month. You can do it!

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Hiya Cat, welcome to the garden of earthly delights! Yup, you can be vegetarian and do a vegetarian diet. My husband person is an insulin dependant diabetic and his A1C is a nice, healthy 6. We are lacto-ovo vegetarians (dairy and eggs from organic farms), I'm just the opposite, hypoglycemic and will do the roller coaster downhill if I put too many carbs in me. (Trust me, get your blood glucose down to 24 and people kind of freak out. Sheesh!) I use protein shakes because I had gastric bypass surgery and proteins don't absorb as they wouild in a normal gut. So yes, bottom line, many diabetics live a vegetarian life, but you and your doctor have to determine if it is best for you. (My version of covering my legal a## since I am not a doctor and do not play one on TV but used to play nursie and naughy patient with the husband but that is probably TMI. ) Hope this helps, Jeanne in GA Pondering Cat <pondering_cat wrote: I just joined. I would like to develop a vegetarian lifestyle. I just have a couple of problems so I hope to learn how to solve them on this group. I am pre-diabetic and cannot have too many carbs in my diet. Also, I need to have protein for a couple of reasons. One, it helps prevent spiking blood sugars. Two, I had a spinal cord injury and I need the protein to help keep the muscles that I currently have. I know that I can get protein from other sources and that is why I joined the group. I look forward to learning from everyone. ************************* Cat (short for Cathy/Catherine) http://www.flickr.com/photos/pondering_cat/ http://360./pondering_cat (AT) sbcglobal (DOT) net ************************* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
