i want to start blending up like spinach and other frozen/fresh veggies on a daily basis and drinking them.
i have frozen spinach right now, but frozen spinach and water doesn't taste too great.. does anyone know of any good mixers, such as other fruits/veggies, or sweeteners that would make this easier? i'm trying to get creative here and start getting a lot more veggies in my diet. would almond milk work?

the best blenders will only allow you to make smoothies... i drink green and berry smoothies on a daily basis, i also juice(i'm a vegan)... you would need to invest in a juicer in order to extract liquids from fruits and vegetables... if you're tight for money you could pick up a good used one on eBay pretty cheaply... that's where i got mine... best wishes...

Remember: when you do drink this, swish a little saliva around with it before swallowing. This helps tremendously with breaking down and absorption.

this is exactly what i do with my blender. I spent the big bucks and got a good one that is meant to eliminate using a "juicer". And it's so much better, you get all the pulpy goodness.
Check out either a vitamix or blendtech. h are great choices. I myself went with the vitamix.
It was 500 bucks but worth every penny. I use it daily and you can do EVERYTHING with it. I make hot soup with it even. It's a badass blender.
They actually call it a total nutrition center or something like that.
I make smoothies and/or juices all the time with fruit, celery, carrots, spinach, flax seed, a dash of honey, a sprinkle of cinnamon...tis always pretty good.

i have had a vitamix blender for three years now... mine isn't capable of reducing fruits and vegetables down to the same fluid consistency that my juicer can extract... just sayin'...

I just ordered a highly recommended juicer on Amazon, $99.00
Looks like a good deal.

well no, but that's because it has all the pulpy fibre...the good stuff.
Not saying it's like milkshake, my juice cocktails are definetely liquid, but pulpy.

drinking another one, 16oz water + 2 cups spinach + 2 cups frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, and marionberries)
came out a nice black color and tastes legit 
i need a new blender though.. this one is really old and after using it this time a small amount of liquid leaked out of the bottom. that CANNOT be sanitary
