We just finished up week 2 with our new Vitamix and I really feel like this thing has revolutionized our meals and taken our nutrition to a whole new level. I know, it’s just an appliance, but I can make things now that I really could not have made before. The amount of fresh produce that we are consuming is outrageous, and my 1 and 2 year old boys are regularly consuming things like kale, spinach, flax and celery….and LOVE it! Ok, I’ll stop before I sound like an infomercial
I needed to make this list before I forget to jot down these recipes, so here are some of the things I’ve made just in the past 2 weeks…
- Kale Green Smoothies
- Banana Blueberry Smoothies
- Strawberry Watermelon Smoothies
- Coconut Kale Smoothies
- Carrot Spinach Smoothies
- Mustard Green Smoothies (Ok, so this one was a bad bad idea)
- Cream of Celery & Spinach Soup
- Carrot Ginger Soup
- Mashed Potatoes
- Pureed Sweet Potatoes
- Banana Oat Cookies
- Vegan Cream Sauce
- Peach Sorbet
- Frozen Basil Lemonade
PS – these are ALL completely dairy/wheat/egg/nut free. With the exception of chicken stock (which could be substituted with vegetable broth) in the soups, these recipes are all vegan or could easily be made vegan.
So fun. Can’t wait to keep experimenting and better our health at the same time!
