Blender, Juicer, Food Processor; which one should I get?

I have a small 1 cup food processor (magic chef), and I think it's time to retire it.

I want to get something that is a juicer, a food processor and a blender at the same time--- is there such thing?

Which one should I go for? I would like something that lasts so price isn't a factor, but I wouldn't mind if I saved a couple bums too :)

Thanks!


Is a food processor and blender interchangeable in recipes?

I hate seeing "food processor" in a recipe and wondering if I should/could make the recipe bc I only have a "blender"....
what about for a falafel recipe : In food processor, combine chickpeas, onion, parsley, chickpea flour, spices, and pulse few times to mash the beans. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and pulse again, until a coarse, thick paste forms. With wet hands, shape the mixture into 16 ball, then flatten slightly into a pastry.

Blending fruits and vegetables?

I'll start off saying I'm 6'6, maybe about 280. I'm not fat, well I am but I'm not huge, I have a pretty big frame so it doesn't look too bad but I would like to lose weight. I don't eat much fruits or vegetables, I usually eat a banana a day potatoes in some form. I want to make a change in my life, I want to eat healthier. I rarely eat fruits or veggies, I eat apples, bananas, pineapple if it's on my pizza and that's honestly about it. A few years ago I got a juicer but that produce much juice and haven't really used it in a long time. I want to try blending fruits and veggies though, which I'm pretty sure I would be okay with. I just don't really like the texture of the foods but I am fine in juice form.

How is blending fruits and veggies, could I just go each day basically just drinking it and take out eating all together? I'm active at work but outside work I'm not really, I do some weight things. Anyways, my question is how healthy is just buying fruits and veggies and blending them and drinking, will that fill me up like it would with drinking? What else should I know? Thanks..

I just have a regular blender, has one speed, on and pulsating..
I only eat pizza maybe once every two weeks, and I rarely eat out. I don't buy that food in the box and the juice I drink is usually just apple juice. I don't know if I asked my question right. I have a juicer already, and don't have much interest in juicing, I am more interested in blending, adding some coconut water or something similar to it to make it more like a drink thank a jamba juice sort of thing. I wanted fresh fruit and veggies from the store, nothing in bags or packages.. I don't know, maybe I will just do it.. not sure if I'm asking the right thing. I'm not sure how to ask what I have in my head. Thanks for your input though.


Could I use a blender instead?

The recipe says to use a food processor but it's not being chopped, I'm trying to make it into a butter very similar to peanut butter. Thanks!


How do I make my own flour out of grain?

I want to make flour out of grain and I have tried using a food processor and a blender, both of these methods do not get the grain fine enough. Does anyone know a way to grind the flour very fine?
