Smoothies to Live For! - Helyn Dunn

smoothie trade
Speaking of blending ... I am totally and completely biased, so don’t even try to talk to me about ANY other blender but a Vitamix! I think if there were ever a fire in my home, instead of grabbing my purse, my jewelry, or cherished family photos, I would run for my Vitamix. I use mine at least once per day. Of course I use it for my smoothies, but it’s also fabulous for soups, salad dressings, cashew cheeses, and so many other recipes. It is truly indispensable. Is it expensive? You bet. Is it worth every penny? Absolutely.
Simply put, the quality of your blender will make or break your smoothie. So don’t skimp on this one and only tool that you need to make the best smoothies on the block. And the Vitamix company is one of the best for customer service. They will take care of anything that goes wrong with your blender, no questions asked. Not that anything will. The Vitamix is a real workhorse.

For one thing, unless you grow your own fruit, you can be sure that what you’re eating is not vine ripe. Most fruits are picked long before ripening in order to ensure their safe and bruise-free passage from wherever they’re being shipped. They also are picked early so that by the time they reach the supermarket shelves, they’re not
