Our New Love

I don't blame anyone that is tired of hearing about mine and Daron's new Vitamix. I would be too! But there is a reason we love it so much. It has become part of our daily routine. Throw in some pineapples, bananas, grapes, spinach and ice and you get this b-e-a-u-t-y.

Beautiful, vibrant green deliciousness. Doesn't that just look refreshing? And it takes less than 30 seconds. For real.

You may be asking...why not just use a blender? That makes smoothies too. Fair question. Mine back to you would be- does your blender blend 4 cups of peanuts up in 60 seconds and make delicious home made peanut butter? You don't have to answer. I already know. :)

Make it as creamy, salty, crunchy, smooth, healthy, (or unhealthy) as you like! It's all up to you. I grab one of these containers and a fresh crispy apple as my new favorite snack.

Some other additional favorites are:

-strawberry ice cream

-chocolate peanut butter shake

-tortialla soup

-and ALL spinach fruit smoothies

Today I tried a smoothie with

*bananas, *frozen strawberries, *pineapple, and *spinach

Now, I'll be honest. This smoothie was muy delicioso. But one UGLY color haha It seriously was hard to eat cause it was such a gross color.

What is this? Poo pee brown?

So, it's kind of a hit or miss. We are still trying to figure out what combinations are the best. But despite some of the nasty colored smoothies, we are loyal to our new love- the VITAMIX. :)

(side note: doesn't Thumbelina just look mighty fine in this pic? I thought it show cased her nicely :)
