![]() ![]() Juicing manually like this with the Vitamix, we usually run the blender for 1.5 minutes to get a super liquid juice-like consistency, again when using large amounts of greens, before we manually turn it off. ![]() Juicing with any of the Vitamix models, such as the Vitamix 5200, will probably require use of their patented tamper for a few seconds in the beginning to get it started, and you will have to run the blender until you SEE it’s a consistency you prefer. Just make sure there’s enough ice and/or frozen fruits so the blender will not start to heat the produce which will start to kill the live enzymes/nutrition. Remember that typically the longer you run the machine – the more it will liquefy ingredients. However whenever I want the thinnest consistency possible when using several cups of greens vs 1 cup spinach for example, I add a minimum 1 cup of ice and use the SOUP button (or HIGH speed for 90 seconds), which runs for 90 seconds at the highest speed almost the entire cycle. If juicing mostly fruits, the pressing whole juice or 60 second button once will yield a juice consistency. Blend on a Medium to Medium-High speed for 50-60 seconds. If it DOES NOT have a whole juice button (like the rest of the Blendtec Classic models) you can still achieve a juice consistency. ![]() Many Blendtec models (all of the Designer Series models) features an automatic WHOLE JUICE button, which runs for a 50 second cycle at various, fluctuating speeds (longer and more powerful than the SMOOTHIE button).
