life is about making people feel good about themselves
Question.
Is there a lifeisnoyoke sticker? I'd love to have one for my SUV!!!
Actually I thought you guys were sort of Vitamix snobs.
I don't think that anymore.
I actually own a Vitamix clone. It's called Cranddi.
Did you know the inventor of the smoothie is a woman named Victoria Boutenko?? Fact. Look her up. Her story is phenomenal.
Thank you so much for this video. I plan on watching every video.
Hi I am really interested in getting a Vitamix but I can access the website with your code. And even though I have watched some of your videos which have helped me to decide I need to get one I am still confused as to which one is the best for me. Is there a way to get directly intouch with you to help guide me with my purchase please.
I see this all the time in certain communities… Be it instant pot, certain fitness programs/apps.. I've experienced it myself. People who have had a certain product for a long time get very short or put off by the newbie questions…. Like you said, they forget they too once were new and some of these things like the Vitamix or IP are very intimidating and very powerful gadgets so having a good community is essential so it doesn't sit in the cupboard collection dust 😒. I myself bought a Vitamix on Black Friday 2020 and have used it about five times because I'm clueless and don't go to the communities anymore 🤷🏼♀️.
Love your videos!
I'm up grading from a ninja, and honestly your the only person I've watched for information about the vitamix and you guys are great! I wish everyone was like you!
She or He does not know how to cook…. which is a beautiful place to be because you have so much knowledge to acquire and techniques to master…. not to mention a palate grow. It is a beautiful road… adventure to be on… dont be intimidated…. take that first step. Though others have traveled the same road… you travel better with others as you can learn from them. I would love the chance to learn from the likes of Ferran Adrià… change your intimidation to just pure awe and respect.
What in the world…. This is the weirdest thing I've heard this week… Vitamix community problems? Love my Vitamix… but um… people out there…. it's not a religion or cult. Man…we are a strange species. It's good you're confronting it but I just find it strange that you even need to
I find the health standard is what is intimidating. Like im not a perfect vegan or necessarily trying perfect myself. I want to enjoy myself and eat good food. A focus on enjoyment vs. Perfect "pure" food would help, I think.
I had a Ninja.
to hell with what people think get a £50-£100 blender and it will do just fine. Don't be a fool to buy such expensive products. Save your hard-earned money for the rainy day and do not feel pressure from people at all – they won't feed you if you are hungry
I got a vitamix because of a good friend and your videos. The company and community is intimidating I agree 100%. I love your green juice and queso💚💚💚. Your videos helped me select which one to get which was my first. Keep doing what you do!
My ancestors had Oster blenders …. and so I had an Oster blender. Until one day … making hummus in my Oster 1200 blender food processor. The plastic gears burned out in the food processor attachment and I couldn't find a replacement unit … and the "NO MAS" moment happened … I decided to search for the LAST blender I would ever own, ever! Thanks to Lenny and his videos … now I own the Vitamix 3500, the food processor and the stainless carafe! Hummus, chickpea, hot tomato soup … my Vitamix is one of my most valuable appliances.
We had a Magic Bullet, then a Nutri Bullet. One day we saw a Vitamix on The Shopping Channel but wanted to do more research before we spent the money. To be honest, it was largely your videos that convinced us to pull the trigger and buy one. Haven't regretted it or looked back since. 👍
I started with an ancient Oster I inherited from my grandmother, which I used until the motor burned out. I purchased a Ninja to replace it. Two years later, I leveled up to a Vitamix Ascent and never looked back. What many people don't realize is that you can use the Vitamix for a wide range of recipes- not just smoothies. I like to make my own sauces and batters with it, for instance.
Absolutely love your videos👍🏻👍🏻and really enjoy that you include your whole family. Subscribed to ALL of them. Have had my Pro 750 for 1yr./3 mo. & use it constantly. One of my best purchases.
I went vegan in 2012 and was freaking out on my daily/weekly food planner. I happened to stumble on QVC and their presentations on the Vitamix. It took me OVER A YEAR to take the plunge and purchase a Vitamix. I have never regretted it. You are correct, I had other blender options before the Vitamix and used lots of cheesecloths, too! Use what you have — use the Vitamix community as a learning platform. When you're ready and able, we'll all be here, in our happy Vitamix community.
Had a Ninja……gave it to my sister when I got my Vitamix
A simple recipe for strawberry banana ice cream:
Ingredients:
2 bananas cut in half
1 container of strawberries.
1 cup or 2 of ice
Yoplait yogurt-small
Directions- put all in vitamix, use your tamper. Done when all ingredients are blended together.
Yogurt- is optional
Real simple…and if you want add a little bit of yogurt, that makes it a little smoother.
My blender was my immersion blender. More than 30 seconds on and it was getting warm. I needed to make changes and I found your videos.
I watch LOTS of them, to get an idea of / if it would be a good investment for our family of 5.
Buying expensive devices is very scary but our vitamix is so worth it! Your video’s really helped making it less scary and very usable from the start🙏🏻
Our countertop is small, two strokes of 50 cm wide, but we have found permanent spot for our Vitamix.
I sometimes don’t use it for 3/4 days and then 4 times in one. No pressure!
We use it for SO many things that’s nearly strange 😅
Hummus, nut butters, soup, smoothies, sauces, pancake batter, cappuccino, making flour out of chickpeas, ice sugar from granular sugar, slicing veggies for the rainbow salade… the texture is perfectly adjustable to our taste.
It’s also very easy to clean.
The kids use it on their own too, they are teenagers, and I’m happy to see it so loved 🥰
WoW
Vitamix shopping . It definitely was hard for me to choose one …but I think it was my issue…and it was excruciating enough. I am sorry to hear someone else also felt it challenging 😞 plus did not feel welcome. I had a blender for decades … Inexpensive but it was used all the time. I was a vegetarian as was my son for much of that time . I was putting in an entire Kale at a time in the last year. I am interested in getting the stainless steel one vs plastic pitcher 🙂 now that it is available again. The plastic vs stainless steel pitcher is what mainly held me back … … . I love this lil family who works promoting kindness and nutrition and the wider community of us benefit from being welcoming , kind and supportive with each other ❤️
I have wanted one since we saw it demonstrated at the regional fair when we first got married. It was way out of the budget then. Finally got an Explorian for Christmas and I LOVE it!!! And your site helped me love it more. I thought it wasn't working right at first but it was definitely operator error. Your videos helped me realize I would get this and to keep trying. I've made amazing soups, hummus, bowls, smoothies. It's awesome. You have created a great and helpful community and I appreciate it so much!
My first experience with Vitamix was when my best friend bought hers from Costco and made me and my kids broccoli cheese soup. I was blown away. It took me 10 years to get mine, and it was the last gift my dad gave me before he passed last year. Needless to say, my Vitamix is very, very near and dear to my heart. Since then, I’ve made soups, green juices, nut milks, nut butters, vegan cheesecakes, dips, and the lists goes on. Best investment for my health, sanity, and of course my family!
As usual… you all are amazing!! Great video. We are a family!!!
