How do you like yours?

All those ingredients I listed before, but I just added a little more of the protein packed stuff. A good 3-5 months with this and I'll be nice.
If this is gonna be a lifestyle change then save up for a quality blender and buy one...If your current blender struggles to blend all of those foods and takes more than 60-100 seconds to blend, you're gonna end up oxidizing them and killing all the nutrients you're trying to take in.
Damn, yeah it takes almost 2-3 minutes to finish it. I aint know the stuff gets oxidized like that. Yeah, i'll definitely be goin for a better blender.
Love it! It's easy to use and works really well.
The only downside is buying all the fruits and vegetables on regular basis can be sort of expensive, especially because that stuff can spoil pretty fast.
$20 worth of fruits and vegetables usually makes me 5 smoothies, give or take. So figure they are about $4 a piece. Not a lot of money I know, but drinking them every day adds up.
Also, make sure you buy yourself a nice greens powder to mix into your concoctions. Something like this: Bio Greens - Buy Bio Greens 10.5 Powder at the Vitamin Shoppe
I put so much stuff in my smoothie that I don't really need to drink much of it to feel full or get all the effects. I'm thinkin something like a vitamix or nutribullet can only serve to boost the effects.
What kind of blender you using now?
Some generic wal-mart bullshyt. It gets the job done I guess but I know I could have better results in much less time.
The texture will probably be different as well...much smoother and creamier (no homo if it applies) kind of like a milk shake. That's the texture I prefer but it's not for everyone.
True. Your blender might be perfectly fine, but the Nutribullet will in all likelihood blend the smoothies better. It also grinds up stuff like flax seed and other shyt normal blenders trip up on.
My guess is you could throw more in there too (more compact I guess) but I can't say that for sure.
I would definitely say to get the Nutribullet if you need a blender. But since this is more of an upgrade, it depends what your needs are really.
Mine come out like pudding right now, so sometimes I'll eat it like yogurt with some honey or I'll mix it with some milk to make it looser. I'm shooting for the milkshake type texture too.
Anything that makes the smoothie better is what I want. I'll fukk with Nutribullet prolly but I want to do Vitamix.
Mason jars. 
These things have been sparing my pockets and my ears. You can keep the smoothies in em for like up to 48hrs in the fridge and they still good. Now I don't have to turn on the vitamix everyday/night. Its not even that loud but I don't want to disturb my peeps. So far the recipes I been using have been lasting me a good two days. But like @Big Jo said this shyt can be a lil costly
and the stuff can spoil fast if you don't freeze certain things and/or use em right away. I haven't been as consistent as I want to be but I finna get it together soon.

I throw the majority of my foods in the freezer. I can sacrifice taste if it's going to save me the money. The only thing I haven't tried freezing are my greens.
But fruits, meats, bread, etc. = straight to the freezer.
A big jug of baby spinach will last me roughly 2 weeks and that cost me around 5 bucks. You need to make sure you "toss" the greens so the stuff at the bottom doesn't get spoiled.
The fridge I use in my room is real cold so it puts my smoothie in a semi-freeze. I usually have to sit a cup of the smoothie next to some hot tea in the morning to make it drinkable. Good method imo makes it last longer.
Just got a Vitamix from my parents because they never used it.
I've been making a green smoothing I saw Joe Rogan make. (Kale, celery, cucumber, pear, ginger, water). I have probably 30 ounces of that to start my day and after four days of doing that my digestive system is feeling
