Vitamix machines are engineered to last lifetimes. Buy one and pass them down to your children and maybe even grandchildren. The company is over 90 years old and 4th generation family owned. Health (not profit) is the bottom line for Vitamix, and they obviously know how to make the ultimate blender. Blend smoothies, soups, juices, and sauces; chop, crush, and puree anything you can imagine for years and years to come.

For more information on my story with Vitamix and why purchasing one is a worthwhile investment please see my link here. I (and the company) honestly do not want you to buy a Vitamix and not use it. Use it. Everyday. You will find ways. You will love it. Email me with questions, comments, or concerns.

Carrot Grapefruit Smoothie (scd, paleo)

As the weather gets warmer I always look forward to summertime smoothies. I felt über lazy the other day and actually went to a smoothie shop and customized a somewhat Paleo-friendly version of a smoothie. It cost $8 and I could tell their juices were from concentrate, i.e. a box. Blah. I'll take a homemade version of any meal, anytime. Try this smoothie recipe if you are a fan of grapefruit. It's a little tangy but very refreshing.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup fresh grapefruit juice
1/2 apple
4 mini carrots*
1 large medjool date (pitted)
1 1/2 cups ice

Directions:

Throw all of the ingredients in a high speed blender, like Vitamix (putting the ice in last.)
Blend on high for about two minutes, or until completely smooth and four mounds form on top of the blender.
Enjoy.

*mini carrots are very small adult carrots (not the traditional "baby carrots" found in most grocery stores, 4 would be equivalent to about one large regular carrot)

Apple Pie Smoothie (scd, primal)

The great thing about having my Vitamix is that it's so powerful it not only pulverizes ice, it also creates incredibly smooth drinks even when cores, seeds, and skins are left on fruits. Apple seeds contain cyanide but I blend them into the smoothie anyways. I have heard that they actually have anti-cancer properties. While eating a bowlful of them is probably not encouraged, I think in small doses there's nothing wrong with ingesting them. Seems Paleo to me.

Ingredients:

1 apple, quartered
1/2 cup plain yogurt (for strict Paleo use coconut milk yogurt)
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon (or apple pie spice)
1/4 tsp allspice
1 Tbsp honey
1 cup ice

Directions:

In above order, put ingredients in high speed blender, like Vitamix.
Blend on high for about two minutes, or until completely smooth.
Enjoy!
