Vitamix Peluches Casino

Oprah says the Vitamix is “essential for anyone into healthy living.” And I’d have to agree with Ms. Winfrey: if there’s one piece of kitchen equipment I can’t live without, it’s my Vitamix. In honor of my beloved blender, I wanted to share some of my best healthy Vitamix recipes with you.

Vitamix does make a newer model with a shorter jar, but I’ve read that it doesn’t work as well as the model with the taller jar. Note: The Vitamix is marketed as a grain grinder, a hot soup maker, and several other things, but I bought it to use as a blender and that’s pretty much it. In my experience, when appliances try to multitask. Vitamix Professional Series 750 Blender, Professional-Grade, 64 oz. Low-Profile Container, Black, Self-Cleaning - 1957 4.8 out of 5 stars 743 $558.00 $ 558. 00 $598.99 $598.99.

The Vitamix is no ordinary blender. It has a high-powered motor that allows it to pulverize food in a way that’s not comparable to your ordinary blender. You’ll see why that matters in a minute.

Before we get to the list of heart healthy Vitamix recipes, I want to answer some frequently asked questions I get about the Vitamix.

1. Why should I consider buying a Vitamix? Here are the reasons I decided to buy one:

• It’s versatile: this thing completely replaced my food processor. You can make soups, sauces, smoothies, juices, milks, nut butters, dips, spreads, ice cream, flours, desserts, and more.
• It’s fast: the Vitamix pulverizes ice and other hard materials in a matter of seconds.
• It’s a time-saver: my Vitamix has saved me hours and hours in prep time in the kitchen. And we all could use a little more time, right?
• It’s healthy: the high-powered motor in the Vitamix breaks down the cell walls of fruits and vegetables, making essential vitamins and nutrients more bio-available. Translation: your body absorbs more healthy stuff. Plus, you can put entire fruits and veggies in there, so you get the health benefits of the skin, stems, and seeds that you would normally discard.
• It’s used by most great chefs and restaurants: this may not sound like a great reason but hey, to cook like the best chefs you need to have the equipment they use.
• It’s built to last and comes with an awesome warranty. Vitamix covers all parts, performance, and labor for the length of your warranty. Mine came with a 7-year warranty … that’s impressive.

2. Aren’t they expensive? Buying a Vitamix is definitely not cheap. They range in price from $375 to $700. But think of it as an investment in your health. Immediately after buying mine, I lost weight, looked better, and felt better than I ever had before. If you can’t afford one, you’re not alone. It took me a while to pull the trigger and save up enough money to buy mine. But for me, the investment was 100% worth it.

3. Which model should I buy? There are plenty of models to choose from. Being the frugal chef that I am, I purchased a less expensive one on Amazon for $378 (the 1782) and I’ve been absolutely thrilled with it. I suggest going to Vitamix’s product page and doing a comparison of the models. Amazon sells a few of the older models like I have, so that’s a good place to look too. Research the different models on Amazon here.

4. Is the Vitamix better than the BlendTec? When it comes to the Vitamix vs. BlendTec debate, I’ve heard mixed opinions. BlendTec is the only blender on the market that’s comparable with the Vitamix. Long story short, I think either way you can’t go wrong. But if you want to read a good in-depth review about which blender is best for you, check out the Vitamix vs BlendTec page on Blender Babe’s website.

These Vitamix recipes are my favorites from the blog so far. They could likely be made in any high-performance blender, but I have a Vitamix, so that’s what I use. A run-of-the-mill blender may be able to make some of these recipes, but the results will likely not be as smooth, and the thicker recipes could burn out the motor.

I tend to favor recipes that have simple ingredients, are easy to prepare, taste great, and are relatively healthy. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

If you have a favorite recipe that’s not on this list, please send it in. Happy blending!
