Rock Your Vitamix

 
This week I’m giving away not one, but TWO Vitamix blenders as part of my Launch with Benefits. I can’t wait to find out who is going to win them, and I’m hoping I can feature the lucky winners on my website in a couple weeks.

This giveaway is especially personal to me because I am such a big Vitamix fan. I’ve been known to cart mine, on a ferry, to our family vacations in Nantucket (everyone thanks me once we get there!). My husband used to keep one right there in his office for easy access, and as a family we have converted numerous people from blender, to Vitamix.

I’m thrilled to have them as a DYNS partner. They’re highly dedicated to healthy living, and as you’ve seen on my site, this is no ordinary blender.

During the past month, the DYNS team has been enjoying this Savvy Smoothie, but a Vitamix can be used for so much more than smoothies. Here are some of my favorite ways to use this wonder machine:

1) Ice Cream
Say goodbye to homemade ice cream that is laborious and time consuming to make. Say hello to simple recipes that take minutes to be ready to scoop.

Two of my tribe’s favorites are the tasty Nut Ice Cream and this refreshing Lime variety.

2) Pesto
Use your Vitamix to quickly whip up a weekly batch of pesto, that can accompany fish, zucchini noodles, stuffed peppers, and more. We love this Superfoods Pistachio Mint Hemp pesto recipe from DYNS partner Tara Miko.

3) Soups
Blend your fall and winter soups in your Vitamix this season. My Cleanse with Benefits groups love this Creamy Cauliflower Soup recipe, which is as simple as it is delicious.

4) Marinades and dressings
Ramp up your Nutritional Style by dressing your salads and veggies with simple homemade marinades and vinaigrettes. Just toss the ingredients in your Vitamix, blend, and enjoy. I love this Apple Cider Vinaigrette, almost every day.

6) Homemade milks
Dairy is a bad boy for many of us, so if you’re like me you enjoy non-dairy milks in your smoothies or on your DIY granola. Store bought milks can have additives you don’t want, and this Hemp Milk is a super simple way to get started.

These are just a few ways to enjoy your Vitamix blender. Want to be the lucky winner and welcome one of these wonder machines into your kitchen? Here’s how you enter:
