Not just for smoothies

5 Reasons I love my #Vitamix 6300 (and no, they're not paying me to say this):

- smoothies: ok, I drink a smoothie everyday. I'm addicted. Try this ~ 1cup plain yogurt, 1/2 banana, 5 strawberries, 1 apple (cored) or 1 orange (peeled), 2 dates, handful of almonds, sprinkle of shredded coconut, sprinkle of cocoa powder, and a handful of ice. Set to smoothie setting, run it twice. So smooth...


- soup: try this ~ roasted  butternut  squash soup with garlic. Follow the recipe, but at the end, purée in Vitamix, hot soup setting.


- soft serve: try this ~ frozen mango, a small handful of mint, and a little agave syrup. Set to frozen dessert setting. Your friends and family may thank you.


- salsa - 4 tomatoes, 1 onion quartered, 2 cloves garlic (peeled), 1 jalapeño pepper (seeded), and a small handful of cilantro. Start on low setting and increase to medium for a few seconds until desired consistency. We ate this all summer long last year. On everything. If you have a fresh mango lying around, throw that in too.


- it cleans itself: try this ~ fill half way with very hot water and a few drops of liquid dish soap, start on low and increase to high speed for total of 30 seconds. Rinse. 


Seriously easy stuff here.
