Susiecat I would lean towards the one with the food processor as well. I have one regular blender, then I have one with a the food processor and then I have my favorite which is the the juicer. It was a bit pricey however you can put any friut and vegtable in there and make many great delicious nutrioust drinks and the best is its 100 percent all fruit or all vegatables with no additives or sugar or anything 100 percent all natural. Please post when you get the product and perhaps I can offer you some ideas. Do you have a favorite vegatable or fruit I mix spinach and carrots all the time and some fresh parsley and add crushed ice. I know its not for everyone but some people have a hard time eating their vegetables and this is a easy way. Good luck. Peace. Catherine
