The Vita-mix is the best kitchen appliance! There are several blenders on the market, but a Vita-mix is more of a multi-purpose Whole Food Processor. I’ve used every blender like tool and there is nothing that can chop, dice, mince, grate, crush, puree, homogenize, or perform bio-available feats like this machine. This machine will completely liquefy seeds, stems, cores, and peels. I've owned a Vita-mix for 9 years and initially I did not use it that much because I could not make recipes like the guys who demonstrated the machine when I bought it. I have discovered that this machine is so powerful and liquefies food so good that you need to use so much less ingredients because there is so much more flavor when an item is completely liquefied. If you do not like what you make in a Vita-mix, then you are not going to like a Vita-mix. I finally have found the actual demonstrator recipes at
Vita-Mix Recipes for Vitamix. This site has a free FAQ section and provides insight on how to use my machine more efficiently. You can buy a recipe or you can become a member for a year for 24.99. I used a promotion code (vitanow) when I joined and it drops the price to 19.99 for a year’s membership. The recipes on this site have helped me fall back in love with my Vita-mix. I now feel like I am getting my moneys worth! If you've thought "I like my Vita-mix, but I do not use it as much as I should," or "I can never make anything taste as good as the stuff made at the live demonstrations," then you are going to love this site.
