Vita-Mix 5200 Blender Review

I had to wait quite a while and save up my pennies to buy a Vitamix and I have not been disappointed!

I use my vitamix every day.  It blends until literally smooth.  It makes ice cream, nut butters, pancake batter, fruit smoothies that are smooth even after I add flax seed (!), chops hard cheeses that just about killed my food processor, makes soups, grinds grains,  does awesome salad dressings without having to chop first, and the pesto - YUM.

My sister went through 6 blenders in less than 2 years until she bought her vitamix.  She was burning them out making fruit smoothies - even the smoothie makers!  She hasn't had to buy a new blender since she bought her vitamix 4 years ago.  My mother swears by hers as well.  We ALL love them.

I was unable to use things like frozen peaches in my other blender - they just wouldn't come out smooth.  With the vitamix it is a breeze.

The recipe book that comes with the machine is to die for - so many recipes made with whole foods!  We don't use refined sugars or flours at our house and so ingredients are often a problem.  Not with this recipe book!

Make no mistake - this machine is worth every penny you have to save to buy it!!
