Does the fruits are vegetables blend out to nothing, in other words do you get all the peel blend out? Or is there a lot of waste?

Like all juicers, the Juice Bullet does have some waste left over. It is the dry fibrous material of the fruits and veggies and I simply put it in my compost pile. Some machines blend the entire fruit, but that is really a different product.

My sister made several veggie and fruit smoothies while visiting us - she used leafy vegetables - baby spinach, romaine,etc. It worked well for that. But I don't think you'd get beet juice or carrot juice! (I used frozen mango chunks in it; it made a God-awful racket, even after I added some juice but it did finally make a puree for a smoothie with vanilla frozen yogurt. YUM!

I have an older vita-mix. I know there has been some debate between blending and juicing. I think juicing is the way to go. I rather have veggie juice than anything made in the vita-mix.

it could easily blend the vegetables if they were cooked first- if not- i suggest the food processor attachment or maybe you want a juicer? The blender is a 6c capacity. Don't put that much in in all at once.

Does not liquify vegetables to the extent an extractor juicer would since the pulp/fiber is still there. I blended 3 bell peppers after seeding them with no liquid added and it finely chopped them. Added few carrots and it finely chopped. Added apple after coring and the juice from the apple made it into a purée. To this added cup of apple juice and this made it into a tasty healthy slurpee. In answer to your question, you can process vegetables in the Ninja to make consistency to drink (also chopping, etc according to amount of pulsing you do). If you want the liquid only, you will need the extractor type such as a Hurom that gives you only the liquid and spits out the pulp.

In the small container I put kale, baby spinach ( 1 cup each) a banana, at least a cup of berries and some other fruit like half an apple or peach. Then fill to the line liquid of your choice. I use water, juice or almond milk usually. I like this better than juicing. It's less messy and you get all the fiber as well as nutrients.

It extracts the pulp. for me, that much waste is bothersome. I drink a morning protein smoothie, so I make sure to trim the vegetables before juicing. That way I can take the leftover pulp (ie fiber) and add it to my smoothies. It's already broken down so it mixes in very easily. Also, I add it to soups, spaghetti sauce, etc. I've stored it in the fridge and the freezer. I'm very happy with this juicer. I'd love one of the high end ones, but I don't want to pay that much money. This juicer is a good price, it's easy to use, very easy and quick clean up, and I would recommend the purchase.

I have had my Blendtec Designer Series for a little under a year now. It completely liquifies whole veggies (including kale, spinach, chard, etc.) and fruits (apples, bananas, oranges, frozen berries) to a smoothie-like consistency. Sometimes, when blending frozen fruits on preset settings, I see a few chunks. A few pulses of the manual blend setting usually takes care of that.

it really depends on what you put through it. I spent all afternoon on Sundays juicing for the week. I would have 24 - 32 ounce containers - I usually would do 6 to 8 of them. I would put through about 6 cucumbers, 6 apples, a bag of kale, I like cilantro - so i did a bunch of that, a head of celery, a bag of spinach, chard, napa cabbage, lemons, and anything else that sounded good. Zucchinis and cucumbers and apples make the most juice. the leafy veggies do not - but they are full of other stuff you need. I would have juice for breakfast and lunch then have my dinner. I lost weight too. but it is tough just doing the juice and not much food. it really depends on what you put through it. I spent all afternoon on Sundays juicing for the week.

It depends on how small you cut the apples. Use a corer/slicer, don't peel. Fill the juicer about half full. When the juice starts flowing it shouldn't take to long. I didn't make apple juice but my pear juice turned out pretty good. It took a couple of hours but I filled it up.

The fruits tend to come out the easiest. But I just added extra water/formula to make the other foods thinner.

By juicer, if you mean "Does it extract juice from produce, and separate out the pulp and fiber?" then, the answer is no. It does not extract juice. It is a high-power, high-speed blender. It pulverizes the fruit (or veggies) and creates a smooth puree (or very juicy smooth puree depending on how juicy your produce is). I guess you can do as jonkitvn suggested and filter the pulp and fiber out, but why would you want to do that? The Vitamix makes the best tasting blended fruits and veggie smoothies/beverages. I guess it depends on what you want to do. If you are looking to do something like make juice from wheat grass (or spinach, kale, etc.) then you probably need a juicer. If you use the Vitamix, then you just add the wheat grass (or spinach, kale, etc.) to the blender with liquids (i.e., water) and/or fruit and blend it together, eating the whole plant food. Hope that helps.

I haven't tried blending coconut, but I have put in apples (with skin on) and used the whole juice button. Comes out perfectly blended, no chunks at all.

Good luck...I returned this piece of junk and finally got a Vitamix! If you are into blending hearty veggies like those (as I am), then you should invest in a Vitamix or Blendtec. You won't regret it! :)

Yes Amy, we have tried blending fruits, vegetables together, but this wonderful product, who by the way tried it through other friends of ours, have found it remarkable; it detoxifies your body, gives healthy digestion and elimination and helps support your immune system, plus gives you healthy blood sugar levels; it has a raw organic green juice blend, along with veggie and fruit juice blends, with organic sprout blends and probiotic and enzyme blend; we have been using this product for sometime now and won't change; we feel great since we've been using it; hope this helps you; good luck and God bless.

Yes. I've ground pomegranates in it and if you are thorough, they will be completely gone. I regularly do carrots, peaches, plums, etc. All of these have skins.

This is still a blender as opposed to a juicer. You would still have to add water to help with the blending process, but overall you would likely end up with carrot juice-albeit diluted a bit by the water. I consistently use the 3HP to make smoothies that are pretty much all liquid.
