No, I think I'd rather spend $6 bucks on a smoothie here and there than to spend $450-$600 on a mixer, go out and buy all the stuff, then have to make it at home myself.

I live a little too far away from a Starbucks that would actually carry this. It would be nice to try.

Get a Vitamix and buy organic veggies/fruit-make them yourself.

I agree about using organic veggies and fruit.

To use conventional would not be beneficial to your health.

IMHO.

I'd probably use the mixer three times! LOL- better to go to Starbucks!

OK, get a $100 Nutribullet and make them yourself. You recuperate your money after 16.6667 smoothies. You also get to pick your veggies/fruits. I can't have certain fruits because of a fructose problem, so I only use certain fruits and the typical veggies. I love my Nutribullet, but when I went to making larger batches I got the Ninja Ultima Dual Stage blender when I did consider the Vitamix but just couldn't justify the price. QVC had the Ninja Ultima on clearance for $159 on flex pay, so I could try it and see if it worked. It did, so I use it for my larger batches, but still use the Nutribullet for my smaller, one cup ones.

Eh, we make them at home and they don't cost 6 bucks each. Love my Vitamix

I'd prefer to make my own too. I know exactly what is in it, with no added sugar. Love my Vitamix too!! Worth every penny.

Great! I am tired of spending $4 for a cup of Starbucks lemonade half full of ice.
