I read your blog. Do you honestly think a small company like VM or BT employees a large team of $100,000/yr engineers while companies like Braun and the other name brands who make the $40 blenders cant afford to?
Your whole blog = epic fail based upon many of your arguments and conclusions.

By the way I use a BT for my green smoothies. Both VT and BT are good, i'd be happy with either.
If you want to supplement protein, try hemp seed, its not a dairy waste/byproduct like whey is, and tastes better. Its more expensive, but us $100k+ engineers can afford it.

I think I also read you've only been doing this 2 weeks? I tend to discount the posts of anyone whos just jumped onto a 'new to them' bandwagon and start touting it as the best thing ever. But maybe I'm just cynical Enjoy your blender. Makes great ice cream too.
