I say go big or go home. We got a Vitamix 7500 from Costco. Make smoothies for two. Spinach and spring greens, fruit, cinnamon, ginger, chia, flax, beef gelatin, cocoa powder, coconut milk, enough ice cubes to make the right quantity for two. The thing is that a smoothie should suffice for at least one or two meals, not just be a beverage to go along with even more food.
