Do you want to buy my Cuisinart, juicer, blender and other old food processors?
I bought a Vitamix
This thing is AMAZING!
Ed makes a blueberry sorbet with spinach that tasted just like blueberries but had the spinach beneficial vitamins – Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, C, E, K and Beta Carotene.
The picture shown below was taken at our campsite in the BC Kootenays – where Ed wowed our friends with another blueberry sorbet.
Being a veggie lover, I’ve been doing garden cocktails with tomatoes, peppers, onions, celery and other healthy vegetables.
So much for buying V8 anymore. No more $3.99 per bottle and having to send the plastic jug out for recycling. I LOVE that.
Want a clamato cocktail or a Bloody Mary? Just add clams, Worcestershire sauce and a little Tabasco.
You can make a HOT soup in under 10 minutes. The more you blend, the hotter the mix. If you want chunky bits, just reserve some vegetables to add at low speed during the last 30 seconds or so.
This is the mixer that is used by Commercial establishments… and the consumer reviews are incredible. The Vitamix will last for 10 years or better and you will save thousands of bucks in food.
Here’s the Amazon review:
With its commercial-grade 2-plus peak horsepower motor, this versatile countertop appliance works great for blending, pureeing, chopping, mixing, and more. The blender features a laser-cut stainless-steel blade that can crush through ice in seconds, a patented tamper for processing thick mixtures, and variable speed control for processing at just the right speed for the task at hand. Its user-friendly controls also include a convenient “pulse” option and three pre-programmed settings for Smoothies, Hot Soups, and Frozen Desserts for consistent, foolproof results every time. In addition, the blender’s oversized 64-ounce BPA-free jar creates a powerful vortex that forces ingredients up from the blade and back down through the center to ensure thorough blending. Other highlights include a generous jar handle, a spill-proof vented lid with a removable insert, a fingerprint-resistant brushed stainless-steel finish, and nonslip feet for stability during operation. Make everything from delicious homemade dips, pureed soups, creamy sauces, and appetizers to dressings, desserts, beverages, fruit smoothies, and more–the options are endless. A recipe book with 100 gourmet recipes and an instructional “Getting Started” cooking-class video come included. The blender measures 8-4/5 by 7-1/5 by 20 inches.
Seriously, I can’t say enough good about the Vitamix… can’t wait to grind the wheat berries and start baking my own bread again.
Woohoo!
Hello Rose,
Vitamix sounds great! Would you kindly also post Ed’s blueberry spinach sorbet recipe, so we can all enjoy this fabulous, healthy and tasty sorbet.
Thank you
Best regards
Hey Tania,
He’s out at the moment and we’re heading offline for about 10 days, but I’ll do my best to post it when we get back, if not before.
Cheers,

The Vitamix has been on my wish list for a while. It would be awesome to make my green smoothies with. And I hear so many other cool options too. Glad you’re loving it!
I never thought to make soup in a blender and actually have it heat up! That’s amazing that it’ll actually get hot while you blend it. I bet this saves some time huh
I have had a Vitamix for years and they are great, they are pretty much unstoppable, and they last forever. However, I did find rinsing and washing it with all the fiber residue can be a problem for the drains (not so unstoppable). So I found a deep plastic dishpan that fits my kitchen sink and rinse and wash it in that, take the water out and put on the bushes–you have happy drains and happy bushes (the soap helps the pH of the soil too), so it’s all good.
An added bonus, as a full time RVer, not putting any more water into the grey tank can extend periods between tank dumps and, in my case, Fleetwood in all it’s wisdom glued all the P traps in place (great planning!) so clogs can be a BIG problem. Now all my dishwashing H20 goes out to the bushes and wherever I go, I leave happy, well watered bushes behind!
Here’s to healthy living & eating and happy bushes! Boots
Hi Boots,
What a great idea! I’ve been thinking of using a plastic dishpan in the RV anyway, just to avoid filling the tank up so fast. Not to mention that I keep wondering how slimy that trap will be when it needs to be cleaned out of all the ‘bits’. 🙂
Ed just checked and our trap is removable. Phew!
Ed says you can cut out your trap and put in a removable one. They’re all ‘slip joints’.
Cheers,
Ros
I would love to live in a RV, instead of this apartment that I have to shell out an arm and a leg every month for, and not have anything work or have anyone come and fix anything, unless I call the Health Dept. of this town.
One of those Vitamix things would be perfect, I love all those V8 juices and Smoothies, and HOT SOUPS, etc.
I’ll have to look into getting one.
With an RV I could at least have a HOT meal, I have my lunch out in my car, at work, listening to the gossip groups inside the store’s lunch room, just isn’t a pleasant experience. At least I have 45 minutes of “me-time” before I have to go back into work. But, living in an RV sounds like something I would not mind doing. All I would need is my computer, a dog or a cat, or both, a Vitamix, and few other odds and ends.
Now if I could only figure out all about Affiliate Marketing, and had the time to read COMPLETELY, through the book that I bought from you, maybe ???
Well you did say I could “SPEAK MY MIND”…LOL.
I have to get away from where I work anyway, it already gave one heart attack, I sure don’t want another.
Hi Bonn,
I sure don’t want you to have another heart attack, either.
A Vitamix would be a great start to healthy eating. 🙂
Cheers,
Ros
