After listening to the all the hype...even seeing someone post on Facebook that they would marry their Vitamix...we bought one. We were at Costco and they were doing a demonstration with the model that basically does it all for you...timing and everything. We tried a few smoothies...even some tortilla soup. All were great so we grabbed ours, headed to Whole Foods, and home we went to start our "juicing" journey. I put juicing in quotes because the Vitamix isn't a true juicer, I learned shortly after purchasing it, but it somewhat the same concept and SO much more. A true juicer is just that..a juicer...but the Vitamix is can do everything...soups, smoothies, margaritas, and dips!
The next morning I made my first smoothie....."Going Green" I think it was. Our Vitamix came with a great recipe book so its easy to make the different drinks.
I have made quite a few since and have enjoyed each one. I even made salsa and it was great! I feel good knowing that I am getting so many fruits and vegetables in each glass. Even Cash is asking for them...of course his have taken on slightly different ingredients...ice cream, peanut butter and bananas. At least there is a fruit in there. Ben had the "Going Green" as well and he said he liked it...now I didn't see him finish it so let's see if he has another.
I am excited to continue down this journey and I say journey because we don't eat the amount of veges and fruit we should each day and this is a great way to ensure we do that. We are lucky that Cash will eat almost any vegetable and would eat fruit all day if he could..so if he doesn't drink "my" kind of smoothie then at least he will continue to get some veges and fruit.
