Why You Need a Vitamix
You may not know it yet (maybe you suspect), but you need a Vitamix in your life. You cannot buy a better blender!! Here are a few of the reasons why.
Ice? No Problem…
Most blenders will struggle with ice, but not the Vitamix. You literally dump a pack of ice, add a little water and it will chew through the ice with no issues whatsoever.
Just put a cup full of water to get things moving into the jug and blend away. The great thing about a Vitamix is you can use it in the summer to make spectacular cocktails for all your friends and family. There’s a reason a lot of the top smoothie bars have these lined up behind the counter.
Hot Soup…
The Vitamix spins its blades so quickly, it will literally heat up soup from the friction. Take a minute for that to sink in.
You can heat up food in your Vitamix.
Put in some tomatoes, a little water, seasoning, basil, a splash of Olive (and any other ingredient you fancy). All of these ingredients are cold/room temperature by the way.
Turn on the Vitamix and wait a few minutes. Open the lid (carefully) and you will have HOT soup. That’s right, this is literally a one pot recipe.
Not many other blenders can do that.
Could you heat up your steak dinner in a Vitamix? Sure, but I’m not sure you’d want to eat it afterwards.
Built for Life…
The Vitamix itself is not cheap, but you’re buying a product that will last many many years. I’ve had mine for over 10 years at this point, and it shows no signs of wear/tear.
There are many, many people who have had these blenders for 20+ years. In a world where everything is disposable and being thrown away after a few years, this is a rare and worthy product.
Not only is it durable, but as illustrated above it does things not many other blenders are capable of. Ice is traditionally the nemesis of blenders, but the Vitamix tackles it all day long.
Bonus Section
The Vitamix has some bonus points up its sleeve in case you weren’t convinced (how could you not be?).
No Icing Sugar?
If you’re out of icing sugar, just put normal granulated sugar into the Vitamix. Give it a whizz and you’ll have icing sugar in no time.
Flour
Want to create a weird and wonderful seed into flour. Yup, the Vitamix can do that as well. You can buy a dry container which forces the ingredients down into the blades allowing you to grind your own flour.
Nut Butter
Tired of paying through the nose for organic peanut butter. Want to try almond or cashew butter. Go right ahead with the tamper and your favourite nut(s).
Baby Food
You get such great consistency with the Vitamix that you can rely on it to make your baby food. You know what’s in it, and that’s what really matters.
Nut Milks
Good almond milk is expensive and you don’t always know what’s in it. The Vitamix can make almond milk.
Conclusion
So, it’s not cheap. BUT it’s one of those products. A product that is versatile and will last you through the years. Honestly, it’s the kind of thing you can give to your kids (if you can bring yourself to part with it).
