Vitamixer Smoothies

vitamixers are amazing…

i’ve been drooling over the vitamixer for a while now.  everytime i go into costco, i stand and watch the demos and then happily accept the samples.  :o)   i’m sure my kids were tired of me constantly checking the vitamixers at every store that we visited.  well, i finally took the plunge and bought one last week.  it is an incredible kitchen appliance and has helped me eat more fruits and vegetables throughout my day.  i have made some fruit smoothies as well as a yummy peanut butter ice cream that has no dairy in the ingredients!  my daughter and husband don’t tolerate milk all that well, so it is fun making ice cream that they can enjoy!  i can’t wait to try out the many recipes you can find on the internet.  

here is one recipe that i created.  if you like mangoes you’ll like this smoothie.

1 peeled orange

1-2 frozen mangoes

1/2 frozen banana

1/2 cup pineapple/coconut juice

1 -2 cups fresh spinach

blend in vitamixer and enjoy!
