Concoct. This is exactly what I do on a daily basis with my  +Vitamix  Blender. Although I wouldn't say using "skill and intelligence". More like using "experimentation". Like I said, I never make the same thing twice. This also goes for the weird concoctions that I create in a blender. My husband, Will, asked me this week, "What is this? Health juice?" Yea, something like that.

This has been going on in my house since the girls could drink out of a straw. They used to call it "Show Me Juice". For years, that is just what we called anything made in the blender. I still don't know where that name came from but it was cute so it stuck.

Here are the most popular "Show Me Juices" in my house:

"Purple Juice"
Frozen mixed berries
Aloe Vera juice
Orange juice
