After a lot of thinking and evaluating, between all the different kitchen gadgets and gizmos that are out there these days, we've come to the conclusion that nothing - not one single thing out there - is as necessary for a great detox as a truly amazing blender.
It wasn't a simple decision though. There are lots of things that help you with your detox, and one great gadget really came close. That's right, we almost bought a juicer.
I've never owned a juicer before, but we were tempted to get one. Becki really doesn't like it when she gets lots of seeds in her smoothies, and we just watched the movie, "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" where a guy heals his body by consuming nothing but fresh juice made of mostly green veggies. If that movie wasn't motivation to get a juicer, I don't know what is.
However, you're really, really limited to doing nothing with a juicer but making juice.
With a good blender though, you can really do a lot of things. You can make soups, sauces, smoothies, nut butters, healthy flours from things like quinoa or oats, and you can even make juice too! (At least with the help of a sieve and nut-milk bag...)
So we bit the bullet, and purchased an awesome blender. It's an Omniblend, and it's been nothing short of amazing so far. It's built just as well as the Vita-Mix machines, costs half as much, can do it all without having to purchase special blades or containers - we're just so happy with it.
I know this blender will really help when it comes time to eat lots of raw foods when we're on our next whole body cleanse. We can't wait!
