About the Vitamix® Machine
The Vitamix machine has the power to perform a wide variety of food processes and does them faster and more effectively than ordinary kitchen appliances. It does everything without a single attachment and cleans up in just seconds.
Most importantly, the Vitamix machine uses whole foods in every recipe and has the power to break open the cell walls to release more nutrition than you get from food that is simply chewed.
Here’s just a sample of what this amazing machine can do for you:
• Make juice from fresh produce in under a minute
• Cook hot soup from scratch in just five minutes
• Make healthy, delicious frozen treats in 30 seconds
• Grind whole grains and knead dough in one easy operation
• Chop vegetables in an instant
These recipes are written for the Vitamix variable speed household machine. You may need to make minor adjustments if you are using any other Vitamix model.
