It's Here! My Vitamix

[baylian]

I am so pumped! Holy crap does this thing move! I thought the base would be much heavier but it's actually light.

I have spent the afternoon soaking nuts/groats and the dehydrator is humming along.

I made raw chocolate pudding too - 2 avacado's, 2 banana's and 1/4 of carob powder plus a few dates. It's chillin in the fridge for a treat tonight.

Tomorrow morning comes a big green smoothie. I am holding on to all of the recipes posted in the previous thread when I first ordered this thing.

Just ran (with the beagle) 1.2 miles and walked another 1.3. It's 70 here in MI! YEAH!

I'm so happy for you. I can't wait to get one. Right now I just have to trust the one I've got which isn't too bad. Soaking some alfalfa spouts now and dehydrating some raw onion flax bread. I've made that raw choc pudding before and it is a treat. Try adding some sprouted dehydrated raw buckwheat. Adds a bit of crunch.

Enjoy your new Vitamix! I love mine and it is used every day! My next purchase is going to be a Greenstar Juicer.

WHOOHOOOOOO!!! Congrats on the new arrival, Baylian! I ordered my Vitamix from eBay the day after you did (your post encouraged me to just take the plunge, as I'd been going back and forth for a few weeks about seriously getting one). Mine should arrive tomorrow. I can't wait!! I soooo want a green smoothie for breakfast. I can't even use my old blender since I destroyed it trying to crush ice about 3 weeks ago; it started smoking and a part on the motor fell off. That's when I knew it was time to upgrade - LOL...and this was on a $100 blender!

I haven't felt this excited for a delivery since I was anticipating the day of my STS delivery. Gosh, I hope that I'm not last on the delivery truck line tomorrow. LOL!!

Let us know what recipes you try. Where did you find the raw chocolate pudding recipe? I'm certain that I have all of the ingredients in my house for it...it sounds yummy.

Have a great day!

Blackberry Smoothie

I made a blackberry smoothie after all this smoothie talk this morning in my Vitamix, and it was delish!
1 cup fresh blackberries
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
ice
Jay Robb Strawberry Egg White Protein Powder

Blend and enjoy! Yum!
