This looks yummy! I am thinking about purchasing a vitamix blender. Can you really put whole, raw carrots in it?

Jamie, Yes yes and yes! I put EVERYTHING in my smoothies including summer squash, zucchini, cabbage, avocado, and so much more! The Vitamix blends so well and makes your smoothie really smooth. I LOVE my Vitamix and literally use it every day.
