Smooooooth Operator

Since my last post, I've met another love of my life... he's a smooth operator... the Vita-Mix Blender.. Oh yes.

I'm convinced that I should actually work for Vita-Mix given the praises that I talk about this machine and how... ahem.. I've basically convinced three different people to buy one in the short time that I have owned mine.

What can I say about this machine? It makes the smoothest smoothies EVER and just pulverizes everything you put in it! I've made a plethora of varying smoothies consisting of fruits, leafy greens and even root vegetables, and it all comes out as a smooth and delicious bevvy! I've made cashew milk and even almond milk (without any soaking process whatsoever)... this thing even makes soup - heating it right in the blender! I have yet to make a heated concoction but friends have already raved it's heating abilities!

I can literally say that it has changed my daily intake of vegetables. I make batches of fruit and veggie smoothies at least twice a day, with the Mr. and the offspring asking for leafy greens in their smoothies everyday!

I can go on and on about this smooth operator but I can only say that you have to try it to really experience it in all it's glory.

Here's a smoothie I like to call Ruby Red Slippers:

1 carrot (peeled)
1 apple (cored - skin on)
1 beet (peeled)
2 handfuls of kale
1 handful of bluberries
water (to whatever consistency you want the smoothie to be)

Put all ingredients in the Vita-Mix, turn on at variable function starting at speed 1 and turning up to 10... Blend for 30 seconds to 1 minute and enjoy!!
