Vitamix Professional Series 200 – $479.00 on Vitamix.com
A juicer or a Vitamix? What will I use more and what will be worth the high price-tag. For months I wavered between the equally unique luxury kitchen appliances. My ultimate decision was based on versatility. The Vitamix can chop, cream, blend, puree and is self-cleaning (bonus!). I want to drink juices and smoothies along with advanced recipes like French Bread and Chilled Cucumber Soup with with Shrimp and Dill. I even heard about an almond ice cream recipe that is a must!
Since the Vitamix became a fixture in our kitchen it has not had a day of rest. My repertoire is still limited to the easy recipes found on Vitamix’s site, but I am already so pleased. My current favorite recipes are the three below. They are all listed on the Vitamix site. Enjoy!
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
- 1 3/4 green grapes
- 1/4 pear (I just throw in 1/2 to all)
- 1/2 avocado pitted and peeled
- 1/4 cup broccoli chopped
- 1/2 cup spinach washed (handfull)
- 1/4 cup ice cubes
- 1 cup green grapes
- 1/2 cup pineapple chunks
- 2 cups fresh spinach packed
- 1/2 ripe banana, peeled
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- 1/2 cupe orange juice
- 1/2 orange, peeled
- 1/4 cupe sliced radishes
- 1 teaspoon honey (or your sweetener of choice)
- 3 large mint leaves (delicious!)
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
I love the Vitamix. If you decide to take the plunge and pay-up you will soon be obsessed with the unlimited options. Admittedly it will take some time for me to fully utilize this appliance. I am on my way!
I was not compensated by Vitamix for this review and they did not provide the product. As always, all opinions are my own.
