Hello!
I have a new Vitamix...and am looking for good recipes that you have found to be yummy. I've been simply putting fresh and frozen fruit in and letting it run.... Any and all recipes are appreciated!
Thanks!

We are obsessed with ours. We only have been making smoothies too. Let me know if you want some good smoothie recipes. Did yours come with the cookbook? I've heard a lot of things in there are really good.0

Peanut butter! Combine peanuts and...well nothing. Blend on high. (you can add a little peanut oil if your peanuts aren't oily enough.)
Also Hummus--1 can garbanzo beans (drained), 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 clove garlic, 2 tbsp sesame seeds, 1/4 cup olive oil, S&P to taste. Blend on high.0 -
Jealous! I just have a regular blender, but i'm commenting so this thread is saved in "my topics" because i want to read all the recipes for when i get a blender capable of doing veggies, too.
BTW, my favorite regular blender fruit recipes are:
Banana date
Banana date chia seed
Banana Strawberry Blueberry
Banana Mango
Banana Mango W/Fresh Valencia Juice
Mango Pineapple Papaya0 -

I am a vitamix newbie also, I just got my vitamix yesterday and I am already in love with it. Im drinking a green smoothie now which consists of: kale, celery, 1 green apple, parsley, a thumb size of ginger, a frozen banana, 3 frozen strawberries and water it is pretty good. But if you like it on the sweet side (which I will try it tomorrow), I would recommend adding more apple, strawberries, and/or banana. The great thing about it, is being able to easily add ingredients to suit your taste buds. Enjoy!0

I'm so grateful you started this thread! I want a VitaMix but am content with my Ninja. I've been looking for smoothie recipes as I am on an all liquid diet courtesy of a medical condition. Looking forward to reading what other recipes people have to share :0)0

Salad juice (we split this between two people at dinner almost every night):
1/2 cucumber
3 sticks of celery
1 green apple
1 avocado
1 tbsp each of lemon and lime juice
1 chunk of raw fresh ginger
1 big handful of spinach or two (or any other leafy green... we also like chard or kale in season)
~5 sprigs of parsley
6 ice cubes
Enough water for the texture you like
If you're used to sweeter foods you can add some fruit like grapes to this.0 -
I've got a Blendtec myself. Smoothies and hummus are a given for a blender. Just add what you like and blend. Check out my food diary for my smoothie. At 600 calories, It's a huge smoothie, probably close to 40 ounces but could easily be divided into two or three servings.
Roasted veggie soup is a favorite of mine. I start by putting a pan in the oven to get super hot. While it's heating a prep my veggies. Tomatoes, onion, garlic, carrots, califlower,...... basically what ever you like. Cut into uniform sized pieces. Take the hot pan out of the oven. Spray with a little olive oil a quickly add the veggies. Another quick spray to the top and then put back into the oven. Cook until lightly soft and lightly browned. Add to the blender with a bit of black pepper and process until smooth. Excellent soup hot or the following day chilled.0 -
Love my vitamix!!! I'm a soup fan! And smoothies too.
I also love to make my own healthy waffle batter with it and top them with fresh fruit. Grab some whole wheat 'pastry' flour. It makes up much tastier treats than the regular whole wheat flour.0 -
Love my vitamix! Applesauce, 4med apples, cored and quartered with peel. 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Put all ingredients in container turn machine on and go from 2 to 5 depending on how chunky you like your applesauce (5 will be purée). Blend for 30 seconds using your tamper to press ingredients into blades. This recipe is from my vitamix cookbook that came with my machine.0

I bought a blendtec for Christmas and I am loving it. I am expirementing with proportions now but this thread has some recipes that look tempting. thanks
so far all I have made are green smoothies with pineapple, orange, almond milk or water and greens ( I used spinach and mixed lettuce that need to be used) I used a little agave to sweeten one with almond milk and a date with the water one.
the sky is the limit since now I know the greens wont be chunky like in my other blender.0
