In 2016, I was hoping Santa would bring me a Vitamix.
He didn’t, so I patiently waited. And endlessly jibber-jabbered about how I would make ALL THE SMOOTHIES.
I decided to stop waiting on Santa and take the plunge.
I HAVE ONE NOW!
I’m part of that club: Vitamixers.
When I come across a club member, I ask,” What do you do with yours?”

We know purchasing a Vitamix blender is an investment.
But, Vitamix blenders are built to last, helping you buy dependable, not disposable.

Just blend warm water and a drop of dish soap at your machine’s highest speed, and watch it self-clean in 60 seconds or less – no disassembly required.

Since the number-one reason people purchase a blender is to make smoothies, it’s important to get them right.

We don’t aim to have the highest horsepower.

There hasn’t been one day that I’ve regretted the decision to buy a Vitamix.
We make daily smoothies and it makes easy blending of apple butter and hummus (so creamy smooth).
I haven’t made soup yet (Texas heat!), but when I do, you’ll read about it.
