My mom is loaning me her vitamix for a month while she’s in Fla. I’m looking for taste tested recipes to promote overall health with an endurance athlete emphasis. I imagine beets will be involved. What do you got??? Thanks
tomato soup.
Tomatoes, basil, garlic, olive oil, salt pepper. Throw it in the Vitamix and blend until hot.
just good food.
Go to their website… got one for Xmas… been making soups and dips almost every day with mine… look forward to after workout shakes once back at it…
breakfast - simple… fuel… makes full pitcher, and lasts me through lunch…
a) 10 bananas, 10 dates +/-, water
b) 10 bananas and add a bit of grape juice, water
c) orange, 5 bananas, two mangos, an apple.
d) kids fav. apple pie… 3 apples 2 bananas few drops vanilla and little cinnamon
KISS always works best for me and my smoothies
Throw in a good handful of spinach leaves, your choice of fruits and some water, and blend. The color is odd, but the fruits take out any taste of the spinach. I start it at level 4 speed, then go to 7 and let it run for 30 sec.
You are absolutely right!!
Here is a beet recipe that is pretty good:
Beets (peeled and quartered)
Apples
Ginger
Add water for desired consistency.
This is one of my favorite Vitamix recipes. It’s great eaten alone as a side/salsa or added to oatmeal. It will keep in the fridge for a few days
Apple Salsa/Chunky Applesauce
Almonds- blend first until chopped consistency
Add in the following ingredients to the almond mixture. Blend until chunky. This can turn into applesauce quickly if you aren’t watching closely.
4 medium cold apples cored and quartered. *Apples must be cold for the recipe to work. *
Juice of 1/2 lemon

For the low carbers:
1 qt buttermilk
1 peeled cucumber or with skin if organic
2 tbs curry powder/spice
scallions

Makes about 5 cups.
Blend & chill. Filling and tastes great.
There’s some great recipes in this PDF starting on page 21:

It’s from the Clean Program by Dr. Alejandro Junger. I’m currently on day 4 of the 3 week cleanse that this guy promotes. Fairly easy and very healthy cleanse to do. I would suggest reading his book “Clean” to get more info.

100g kale
100g spinach
2 frozen bananas
