    Tip if you want to make your own natural nut butters... roast the nuts first, then grind until smooth. Roasting helps to bring out the natural oils. If you don't roast them first, then you will have to add oil.

    I'm surprised there aren't any more responses on this.

    I do have to admit that I've had my Vitamix for several years now and don't use it nearly as much as when we first bought it. We opt for the Magic Bullet to make our protein shakes; it's so much easier to use and clean! And drinking from the same cup you blend in is a bonus.

    That being said, I do LOVE the Vitamix! It's very powerful and great for blending up batches of soups and crushing ice, etc. I love that you don't have to skin much of any fruit or veggie to use it. I don't use it much now just because I tend to cook with very few ingredients and most good recipes required a lot of ingredients to get good flavor without adding sodium.

    I'm hoping my post will bump this so someone might post a good recipe that I can try too! :wink:

I also made guacamole, no more trying to squeeze the juice out of the lime, I just peeled in and threw it in there! can't wait to try more and more recipes!!
