The best creation....EVER

The Vita-Mix.

My father-in-law made THIS purchase a few months ago. I tried it and LOVED it. Well, he decided to get a different model that is digital and gave this one to me!

What does it do? EVERYTHING! I usually make my "green" smoothies in my blender which includes tofu, rice milk, spinach, pineapple, Pom juice....

But this...this does that and more.

It purees. It blends. It grinds. It juices.

But, the greatest thing about it...you can put the whole fruit or vegetable in and it pulverizes every bit of it.

Seeds skin and all.

So, if you want to make juice, you are not leaving out all the good fibers and nutrients that normal juicing leaves out.

The girls and I made horchata last night (rice milk with cinnamon and vanilla). And, we made juice with a WHOLE apple, banana, pineapple (with the core) grapes and carrots.

Oh, and it can grind wheat too.

This could not have come at a better time too, with me being on a special raw foods diet for my gall bladder. How perfect?
