My daughter got me addicted to green smoothies. Yes a high power / speed blender is needed for pulverizing seeds (like flax, chia, hemp, sesame) otherwise they pass right through your digestive system.

You can get a 1500W commercial blender for around $230 on amazon.com. search "new age commercial blender". I got one after going through 3 cheap Black and Decker blenders, which break in about 18 months or use at the drive coupling. The Black and Decker is not powerful to pulverize seeds though, which is important or they just pass right through your digestive system.
