Vitamix Blender Black

I am a smoothie girl! I make smoothies on a daily basis. Before owning a Vitamix Blender, one of the things that I disliked about making smoothies was the clean up! I was always scared that I would cut myself on the blade of the blender and I found it time consuming to take the blender apart into pieces in order to clean it properly. Clean Up with the Vitamix Blender is a BREEZE! Clean up involves the lid and the blender container, no extra parts to take apart. My smoothie routine is as follows: Dump all smoothie ingredients into … Continue reading →

Healthy Chocolate Mint Smoothie

Towards the end of August, my body was really starting to feel dragged down. I wasn’t eating properly nor was I sleeping well and I know that a part of that was how I was choosing to eat. We always have a choice in what we eat. I have always struggled with my blood sugar levels. My Mom still tells stories about how grumpy I was after school as a child. She would literally meet me at our side door with a cracker to shove in my mouth. As an adult, I am much more aware of my blood sugar … Continue reading →

Up until having a Vitamix Blender, I had only ever made smoothies and drinks using a blender. The Vitamix opens up a world of possibilities! My friend @GingerheadDad once gave me the label Waffle Queen a few years ago and it has stuck. Back then, I introduced him to my go to Homemade Blueberry Oat Waffles. I’m ok with having the label, actually it makes me feel a bit proud in a funny way! It took me a LONG time to master making homemade waffles!
