We got one of these a couple months ago. We’ve been making green drinks with it, most every day since.
This is what goes into it:
This is what it looks like after blending:
These are spendy machines, but totally worth every penny for the nutrition freaks out there like me. You can make anything from ice cream (with a total of 4-5 ingredients, one of which is ice) to hot soup. Yeah, that’s right… so hot, it steams! It’ll grind flax seed to meal in seconds, and with the right attachment and blade, you can grind your own flour (rice, bean or wheat) on-the-go as needed. You can even make your own butters: peanut, almond, tahini and even nutella.
For those who like specs, here they are on the motor, which, of course is the most important part:
- Approximately 2 peak horsepower Swedish motor, custom-designed for Vita-Mix, 120 volt, 60 hz, 11.5 amps
- High-efficiency radial cooling fan
- Thermal protection system to prevent overload and burnout
- Low-friction ball-bearing motor built to last a lifetime
- Heavy-duty, hide-away safety cord extends 19 inches to 6 feet and has a grounded 3-prong plug
- wear-resistant base.
In our aim to be more “green” this year, my family is starting from the inside out, literally, with our daily dose of greens.
