I got a blendtec and I love it. At first I was making green smoothies but after using broccoli and cabbage I got totally grossed out and have been having this every morning after my walk
8 ounces almond milk
medium banana
1 cup frozen berries
1 tbsp chia seeds
it doesn't fill me up so at 10 I have a mozerella stick or a chobani yougurt
spinach and kale were good in green smootiens buit not cabbage or broccoli - what was I thinking?
I tried whey protein poweder but it tasted too chemically
I tried flax seeds but it made me really gassy - I know TMI0 -

I use mine for lots of things. I make a spaghetti bolognaise sauce and to do it really simply, I chuck in whatever I have - onions, garlic, at least three or four tomatoes, carrots, capsicum (bell peppers), maybe broccoli or other vegies I can sneak in. Then put a cup of water in or so, and whizz it up. On low speed if you like it chunky, on high if you like it to be pureed.
I then pour this into my browned meat, and cook it - all the sneaky goodness is hidden from my children, but you do still get flavour out of the stuff you put in.
I also make a pumpkin soup in a similar fashion, but I do it on the stovetop and then finish it off in the Vitamix because my husband prefers it that way. I can sneak in all sorts of good vegies - parsnips/carrots etc. Keeping the colour as light or close to orange as possible and no-one knows.
I love the way you can do things at different speeds depending on the desired consistency.0 -

Love my Vitamix! Got mine on QVC on easy pay. Would not been able to afford it otherwise. I just mix vegs. with fruit,usually frozen fruit, maybe a cup of skim milk or almond milk, some chia seed, a dash of cinnamon, anything goes! Drink and enjoy!! Don't forget to calculate the calories, can really add up fast with the fruit and whatever liqiud(other than water!) you add.0

Nothing fancy, but this strawberry-blueberry smoothie gets spinach into me and my kids!
2 cups water
1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
1 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
2 TBSP chia seeds
big handful of fresh spinach
This makes about 40 ounces, which I split with my son (20 ounce cups), but it could easily serve 3.
Just stocked up on strawberries, blueberries and Greek yogurt at Costco this morning.0 -
Roast a bunch of root veggies and squashes (yams, garlic, sweet potatoes, turnips, parsnips, rutabagas, celery, beets, carrots, butternut squash, etc) in a little bit of olive oil and your favorite seasonings. Eat them with a serving of protien (chicken breast, salmon filet, etc) and then take what's left and toss them into your VitaMix with some boiling water until it reaches the consistency of a creamy soup. I add a couple of basil leaves into my soup at the end. It's cheap and easy and oh so healthy!0

I like to mix it up, but my base smoothie is banana, strawberry, oranges, orange Juice, grapse, spinach and carrots.
Here is one I really liked. Started using whole avacado which adds a nice creaminess and lots of nutreints. This includes the seed.
WISH WE COULD SHARE RECIPES! Here is a pic grab of it.

You can take out the cottage cheese in the above to watch calories and proteins.0
