This carrot soup is a bit more work than my usual recipes, but the result is rich and delicious. I was inspired by an amazing soup I had at Chez Nico in Innsbruck, Austria a few years ago. The idea … Continue Reading →
A Vitamix makes finely chopping cabbage quick and easy. I wrote about this technique a while back in a post about coleslaw. Preparation-wise, this recipe is nearly identical to the coleslaw, but the taste is completely different because of the … Continue Reading →
If you’ve ever had carrot juice, you know what a treat it can be—bright orange, sweet, and bursting with carrot flavor. But can you make carrot juice with a Vitamix? Traditional juicers remove most of the fiber, whereas blenders leave … Continue Reading →
Even though I thoroughly enjoy a good grapefruit, I avoided grapefruit smoothies for a long time because I was afraid of them being too bitter. I recently decided to try making one for variety and it was actually quite good. … Continue Reading →
Vitamix blenders excel at making ultra-smooth purees and soups, but sometimes it’s nice to have a soup with a bit of texture. It turns out that it’s quite easy to make chunky soups with a Vitamix. All you have to … Continue Reading →
These muffins are a great snack. They freeze well, and I eat them as I would a granola/Clif/Lara bar, but they have a lot less sugar, are fresher, and have more whole food ingredients. They’re more work to make than … Continue Reading →
I made coleslaw for the first time, and it was pretty easy with the Vitamix. Most things I make in the Vitamix I process until they are maximally smooth, so it’s a bit of a change of pace to make … Continue Reading →
In terms of greens, so far I’ve only described baby spinach in detail. Once you’ve gotten comfortable with baby spinach (which shouldn’t take long since it’s so mild), it’s worth branching out to other greens for the sake of variety … Continue Reading →
Cold weather is upon us, so it’s a good time to make some hot soup in the Vitamix. I decided to make a simple butternut squash soup, which is something that I’ve always meant to do. I’ve seen online raw … Continue Reading →
When making total juices with a Vitamix you can get away with tossing in so many different things that the color of the end product is sometimes less than appealing. It’s not a significant problem, but occasionally it’s nice to … Continue Reading →
Similar to spinach, carrots can have a surprisingly mild taste in smoothies. You can put one or two into a fruit smoothie and not even taste them once it’s blended. They are also on the cheaper end of the spectrum, … Continue Reading →
This is an example of a variation on last week’s “tri-berry smoothie.” In this case I substituted soaked walnuts for the almonds, and added extra raspberries instead of the blueberries. I also happened to use a carrot and an apple … Continue Reading →
This is a simple smoothie, or what the Vitamix folks refer to as a “total juice” (to indicate that it contains the whole fruit; not just the juice separated from the fiber). This is the sort of thing I make … Continue Reading →
I want to start with this one since tomato season is running out, and this recipe really stands on the shoulders of good tomatoes. This combination is inspired by V8 and gazpacho, though it ends up as its own thing. … Continue Reading →
