I am so excited about using my new Vitamix. What are some of your favorite recipes? So far all I have made are fruit/veggie smoothies.

I have a Blendtec and use it to grind chicken breasts for tacos, make hummus, baba ganoush, nut butters, almond milk, grind whole wheat, make pancakes, smoothies, quick ice creams. What recipes would you be interested in? I'll be happy to share recipes.

The possabilities are endless. Try nut butters, pumpkin seed butter. Frozen fruit blended to replace icecrem just to start. I even mix all my pancakes, muffins and sakes in mine. My sister is now making all her facial products. Chicken breast pancakes, soups

I use mine mostly for smoothies but lately have been using it for "cream" sauces. It's amazing what kind of sauces you can make with raw cashews!

Did you get the one with the soup setting? Mine also came with a thick recipe book designed to use the settings on my particular model and I'm still working my way through that.

I've made hummus in a vita mix, white bean dip, tomato soup...

you have a vitamix, blend everything.

What is funny about a Vitamix, to me, is because it was so expensive, I feel compelled to use it almost every day. I agonized about getting it.

I make green smoothies, kale gets blasted to smithereens in this thing! I whip eggs up in it, add tofu to anything, muffins, I even made shrimp filling for spring rolls. I love this beast.

If I'm a bit high on my calories for the day, or want to save them for dessert, sometimes instead of rice, I will 'rice' some cauliflower in my vitamix then lightly steam it for a few minutes in the microwave or in a pot. Just cut up a head of cauliflower, put in a bit of water, then pulse in very short bursts.
