Twins', you will come up with a plan that inspires you I'm sure!
This "Pro" has 4 cups, Ramblin' (1 taller, 1 shorter), and of course they don't nest, since each fits the same base. With extra base/blades and the lids, etc., a lot of storage space is needed. I was drawn to the NB because I got the impression it was small, but it actually requires much more space than the vitamix. I tried it this a.m. with the smoothie I've been making most lately.
Does a very good job. I did eat right out of the mixing cup and felt there was less waste. (Thick smoothie meal with frozen ingredients, so eaten with a spoon.) Surprised I'm not supposed to put in ice unless it is crushed first. But usually I use some kind of frozen ingredient anyway. It is loud, but not as loud as the vitamix.
The cookbook is well-bound and attractive, but many pages of a lot of whitespace or photos, so not really as large as it seems. Still, helpful. It reminded me to continue researching whether I should eat much raw cruciferous veggies (thyroid). I think I do tend to agree with those who say the benefits must outweigh the concerns, because the benefits are just so many. Oxalates in spinach, etc., require moderation though.
