Ever since I’ve been using my vitamixer and watching what I am eating , I love to cook. The vitamix has really allowed me to blend fruits and vegetables together into a smoothie that actually tastes good. I’ve been using a lot of fresh ingredients and less processed. Starting this at the beginning of summer was a perfect time, all the farmers markets are open, or you can grow your own,the end result is you feel really, really good! Here is a picture of my vitamixer filled with lots of fruit with a handful of spinach.

tastes really good!
The blender helps with making sauces and makes a great soup too. Here are a few dishes I made that whipped up in no time, the last photo is a raw foods brownie that I learned to make at Turquoise barn, I’ll include the recipe for this one, it is sooo good with chocolate sauce and berries.
