JulieAnn: sorry for any confusion. VitaMix is the number one rated Blender by Consumer Reports. It is also the one recommended by the Gtube listserv and the Yahoo Blended diet group. With the Vitamix, you can puree real food like vegetables, tofu, even whole apples (skin seeds core etc) into a mixture smooth enough to put down your feeding tube. We always ate a very healthy diet and since the canned formulae like Jevity or even Ensure Plus are just cornmaltodextrin and corn syrup solids, they are really the bare minimum to sustain life. since I will have a PEG for life now, I want to eat healthy. I wish there was a bottled or canned formulae that was healthy but no such luck
Here is a link to the post I did on how to order a Vitamix blender for over a hundred dollar discount if you have a doctor's note of medical necessity. Vitamix medical discount
