I know I know, I told you to grab a glass of wine and enjoy, however if you want to do like I have been, and grab your smoothie instead that is ok too :)
Do you get sick of eating salads? Vegetable or fruit? I know I do..
Last month was my birthday and my amazing husband got me a Vitamix blender. Let me tell you this thing is amazing! I always liked fruit but usually only on a hot day at the beach.. Well not any more! Instead of an occasional glass of wine after or with dinner we (well Nick) makes us smoothies. We use frozen and fresh fruit for our concoctions and the possibilities are endless! This morning it was a honeydew melon ice and water.. That's it! As I type he is in the kitchen whipping up probably something tropical, strawberries, bananas and mango. Then he will probably whip up something else for the morning.
When Nick is not whipping up some sort of fruity drink I am whipping up some soup. So far my favorite is the butternut squash soup, however today I made a yummy easy vegetable soup. Carrots, celery, onion and garlic. Mmm mmm good.
Shown above are smoothies in the glasses and then veggie soup in the upper right hand corner. The picture below features the butternut squash soup.
If you are in the market for a blender I highly recommend the Vitamix. It may be a little pricey but I am seeing the benefits and I believe that we will have many more uses for it as time goes on ;)
I have to warn you though your grocery carriage is going to start looking a little different!
We try to do mostly organic but is almost impossible so we do what we can :)
Please don't hesitate to share your favorite Vitamix or smoothie recipes ;)
Much Love,
S
