Vitamix Blender - Super Turbo Power Your Superfoods!
Hands down, the Vitamix blender is our all time favorite blending machine!
It is virtually unbreakable and unstoppable as far as breaking down whole foods into powder or liquid form.
I like the compactness of the Blendtec blender for travel and the "Vita" for at home use.
It can tackle anything, from a solid
reishi mushroom
(see pic below) and other
Chinese tonic herbs,
that are dense and thick - TO- the smallest of
hemp seeds,
unlocking precious nutrient value.
It is by far the most utilized of our kitchen tools, with our green star juicer coming in second. In fact, you can even juice with the vitamix by blending up all your veggies and filtering them through a nut milk bag.
Top 4 Reasons We Love Vita-mix Blenders:
Have a quiet muffled sound when blending
Easy to use with just a few switches and knobs
Very attractive, simple look and feel
Include tamper and tamper lid slot to help blend with little liquid
The Vita-mix is great for blending up foods that require very little liquid. This is where the tamper comes in handy. You can easily make thick nut creams, pesto's, raw cheeses and sauces that you don't want totally liquefied.
And best of all, because its a high speed blender, you get a completely smooth end result every time. That means there are no nuts in your almond milk, which is often the case with low powered blenders.
It is a worthy investment for a
healthy diet plan
because it gives you the option of blending your foods instead of cooking them! Most of all it helps pre-digest your food for ease of mineral absorption and maintenance of
colon health.
We recommend the Vita-mix 5200 because you can adjust the speed while the blender is on. The 4500 model has two speeds: high and low.
Model options:
Vita-mix 4500
Vita-mix 5200
There are also other higher tech models available for commercial use. But these are the two basic models for home use and really all you will ever need for recipe creating in your superfood kitchen.
Like we mentioned, they both also come with a tamper for making thick sauces, frosting's or creams. The four piece blade assembly is made out of thick stainless steel, is super powerful and can bust threw any material with ease.
