Vitamix?

[HDubSleevery 25]

Does anyone have a vitamix blender? They are having a sale on them on QVC today and it seems like it would be great for post-WLS. I figured I would ask if anyone has ever used it?

I took advantage of the sale awhile back on QVC and bought the Vitamix. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. It will blend just about anything. If you are worried about its usefulness after the first few weeks of surgery, don't. You can make Soups, scrambled eggs, homemade Peanut Butter, anything. I use it daily as I prefer homemade Protein shakes with milk, fruit and Protein supplement over the ready-to-drink varities.

Go for it. You won't regret it.

Right there with earthchick... I finally got one... I love it. It will liquify anything. And will help you stay on a healthy track after surgery. Definatly worth it.

Thanks! Now I have to pick a color.

When I bought mine, they sold out very quickly. I purchased the only color they had left - Red. I was hesitant at first, but actually LOVE it now. A little bit of color is nice

An update...I got my Vitamix a few days ago and have been using it at least twice a day. Of course the first thing I made was ice cream for me and the baby out of frozen fruit and milk! Mmmmm it was so good.

I've experimented and made some stuff that sounded good at the time but tasted pretty cruddy. I did make myself a pumpkin spice smoothie that was pretty good AND good for me!

We have had ours for going on 5yrs. It's still going strong.

The hubby calls it the "Too expensive Margarita Maker."

I use it all the time for his Protein shakes, mine, and the kids smoothies.

I do a blueberry/strawberry smoothie with yogurt for the kids. If they aren't looking I will through in a handful of spinach. They never know the difference.

If you go on the vitamix website, they have all sorts of recipes. The taco Soup is wonderful

Happy blending!!!

I wish I had got a vitamix. I got the Health Master. What a piece of junk. Im on my 3rd one. I got it from Bed Bath and Beyond, so they let me return it when I doesn't work. The next time this junk breaks Im getting the Vitamix.
