So... I have been wanting to get healthier diet habits for a long time and knew that the key to it would be ease of preparing healthy foods. With that knowledge, I went and explored blender options. I finally settled on the Vitamix Professional 750 (their most expensive consumer model). Well it got here today and I LOVE it!
First thing I did? Grabbed a bunch of kale, some salad mix, a banana and frozen blueberries and strawberries, threw them all in, turned it on, and bam! Kick ass smoothie!
Then I rinsed it out, filled it halfway with warm water and like two drops of dish soap, set it on the platform and ran it through a cleaning cycle, dumped that out, rinsed the soap out, rinsed the lid. All clean and ready to go.
Got hungry so I decided to try making soup for lunch. Took a package of tomatoes on the vine, 3 cloves of garlic, and a handful of spinach, threw them in and put it on the soup preset and walked away. Came back when the blender went off and pulled the top off, hot soup ready to go. I don't like the taste of raw tomatoes much so next time I'll toss more garlic and some onion in there too but I fixed it with a bit of Cholula and it was wonderful.
Considering how easy this is to clean and how versatile it is, I can see myself getting a ton of use out of it. I tried making sorbet too but that was a bit of a flop. I will follow a recipe next time
So who else has one of these amazing machines? I bought the dry grains container as well. Going to be making my own nut butters and gluten free flours with it as well. Total cost was 800 including tax and the dry container (which was 100 bucks alone but has a 7 year warranty like the machine does since I bought them together) but there are so many things I can do with this thing that it will pay for itself in no time.
