One change I made which has been amazing is forcing myself to get a bolus of veggies via the Vitamix. It is still just a bit of an acquired taste, but when you mix some fruit into the veggies, and put them in smoothie format, it is one way to get MASSIVE doses of veggies into your diet. I finally realized that I was just not going to go to the effort of cooking veggies in a way that I would actually enjoy eating them, but I really wanted to force myself to DRAMATICALLY increase my intake of veggies.
Every morning I fill an entire blender full of kale, spinach, chard, tomatoes, broccoli, sweet peppers, black berries, strawberries and pineapple. I keep all of it frozen except for the tomatoes and sweet peppers. Water the only liquid. I drink half of the smoothie and freeze the other half. I take the frozen one from yesterday to work with me everyday. End result, I am getting a full blender full of raw, fresh/frozen veggies just in those two smoothies. And I love the taste with the small amount of sweetness from the fruit. This is probably literally 10X the veggies I would get otherwise.
Vitamix made the difference. I wouldn't do it with a lesser blender.
