When I first read this, I thought you meant to throw the entire half lime in the Vitamix. You could def do that, too, if you’re looking for a bitter bite.
But, the way you describe is absolutely the way I do it, too. I don’t even know how you would measure juice from half a lime?
Can’t you just throw the half lime in there? Me being me, why waste time getting juice from half a lime when I can just cut it it half, peel it, remove the seeds and toss it in the Vitamix?
Used to do this with my Nutribullet whenever a recipe called for lime/lemon juice (until it finally bit the bullet).
