So last week our blender pooped out (green smoothie overload... yikes!) and we debated about getting an upgrade to our usual $10 walmart blender. We thought about it, researched it, and slept on it for a whole week and then we finally decided to invest in a Vitamix! We figured we (and our children) will never have to buy a blender again in our lifetime (and their lifetimes) and we'll get a lot of yummy use out of it! Plus, I used some of my birthday money I've been saving up over the years.
Ta da! The motor is as big as a lawnmower. Crazy, right? But we've been making smoothies at least once a day and sometimes for lunch. Green smoothies with kale, frozen berries and flax-seed, oatmeal and chia seed, you name it, we've made it. My favorite has to be the banana soft serve I made a couple of days ago.
