Thank you, Marina! I just went to Amazon and bought the one you suggested (nice price, too; I couldn't believe how expensive Vitamix blenders were!) Will start blending soon...

Olga, I would be more then happy to share with you some tips on how to make smoothies. I've been doing them for a year now for breakfast. In fact, my husband does it now for both of us as he gets up earlier. Vitamix is considered the best blender but it's too expensive. I'd suggest just go to Bed, Bath, & Beyond and get the one you like. I chose the one that came with a lot of big cups so I can blend it right in a cup and go. It was on sale at the time for $40 and here is the pic http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-CPB-300-SmartPower-15-Piece-Portable/dp/B003YLEXBO It doesn't blend in the best way, but very convinient for us being always on the run! :)

Hi Marina, I'm new to the whole thing, but I just got interested in making smoothies and eating healthier in general (I've even kicked my daily Snickers habit!). I'm wondering what blender is best to use for smoothes. I have never blended raw kale, for example.

That is great Marina! Raw smoothies are nutritious, tasty and so easy to make. One other tidbit about coconut water, the electrolytes are so close to that of our blood that coconut water was used as blood transfusions by medics in WW1. Great article as always.
