Vitamix Blenders

For the best homemade smoothies, soups, dips and more, bring the unrivaled power of Vitamix blenders to your kitchen. Founded in 1921, Vitamix has long promoted the health benefits of fresh produce and sought to create products that help families build more of these nutritious foods into their diets. Now, more than a century later, the Vitamix blender is still a favorite among the health-conscious—as well as home and professional chefs of all skill levels—as a reliable way to blend whole fruits and vegetables into mouth-watering beverages. Looking to ditch the eggs and bacon in favor of a lighter breakfast? Try using your Vitamix blender to puree banana, dragon fruit, mango and raspberries, then top with granola and whole fruit slices for a tropical smoothie bowl. For those who want to incorporate a little more protein into their diet, take along a blend of plain Greek yogurt, spinach and berries in a personal-sized blender cup on your morning commute. Or, cool down on hot days with a classic strawberry peach smoothie. If all that sounds good, discover even more ways your Vitamix blender can help you move beyond the smoothie.

Other Uses for Vitamix Blenders & Electrics

Expand your culinary repertoire by using your Vitamix to blend not just fresh fruits and vegetables, but a variety of other food types as well. One of the most obvious: juices. To unlock your blender's Vitamix juicer capabilities, simply add your ingredients the way you would with a smoothie, then continue to blend until they have liquified completely. For families with newborns, consider making your little one's food at home to give them the very best; using Vitamix electrics, puree velvety smooth baby food with the finest organic ingredients fresh from your garden. Trying to sneak some additional nutrients into your picky eater's lunchbox? Throw a handful of almonds or peanuts into the blender jar and slowly increase the speed until the nuts have churned into a creamy nut butter. Then, puree a few fresh strawberries and raspberries and spread on wheat toast for a healthy homemade PB&J. Using the Vitamix food processor attachment, you can also prepare chunky sauces and dips for your next party. For your next backyard hangout, let Vitamix give you a helping hand. Use a Vitamix immersion blender to whip up some extra-creamy guacamole and a blender to make a spicy tomato salsa. While people munch on the appetizers, serve a batch of frozen mango cocktails in colorful drinking glasses to complete the summery vibe.
