Blendtec Blender is blending it up

Hey now, I just wanted to check in for a sec to talk about my new blender. It's phenomenal so far and very easy to use and clean; but I just figured something out.

At first, I thought I'd be getting rid of my juicer because the blender is powerful enough to grind up even the toughest material (watch 'Will It Blend' on youtube); but I've now figured out that I'll need both.

Here's why: The blender can blend up thing amazingly. Just recently I bought some cantaloupe and tried part of it with the seeds included (because the seeds are supposed to contain bunches and bunches or protein). It came out great though I couldn't take some of the seed consistency and had to drop it in the freezer for 1/2 hour and suck it through a straw for the seeding not to bother me. Live and learn.

The thing is that with the blender you get the fiber also. Ha! There you have it. So if you want the fiber, you use the blender; if you don't want the fiber, you use the juicer. What's the difference. Well supposedly the fiber needs to be digested and the point of juicing is so that the system doesn't have to work to digest (the raw vitamins and minerals are delivered directly into the system like a shot in the arm).
If you have to digest the fiber then it just takes the body a little longer to extract those vitamins that you need.

Makes sense to me. Does it make any sense to you? Let me know what you think.

Much Love and Health.
