Several years ago, my 19 year old son suffered a traumatic jaw injury as the result of an accident. He had emergency surgery and his jaw was wired shut. The first days he had to eat from a syringe and then graduated to a straw for the remainder of the six weeks. I ventured out to the grocery stores to figure out what kind of liquid diet I could feed this still growing young man. Breakfast shakes had all kinds of additives that I knew were not healthy. Soups also contained additives. Providentially, I walked by a demonstration of a Vita-Mix. Normally, I wouldn't pay attention to demonstrations in stores, but this one was meant for me. The demonstrator was taking whole fruits (skin and all) and making smoothies. She put a tomato, green onion, cabbage, carrots, celery, and jalapeno cheese and within minutes served a delicious, piping hot soup. She used fruit concentrate, milk, carrots, fruit, and ice and made a wonderful soft ice cream in seconds. I knew this machine was for me.
Almost immediately everyone in my family was a fan. Not only did it make it easy to serve my son healthy food during his recovery, it became the small appliance I use most in my kitchen. My husband, who thought I'd lost my mind to spend that much money on a "blender", now promotes the Vita-Mix every chance he gets. I use it to make smoothies, sauces and gravies, ice cream, soup and milk substitutes. I grind whole grains for bread, chop nuts and vegetables, and grate cheese. I know exactly what is in the food I am preparing for my family without spending the hours usually needed for making everything from "scratch".
Whether you have a health emergency, food allergies, or are just concerned about eating nutritious meals, the Vita-Mix is a highly recommended tool!
