My Vitamix 30

WEEK 4: Whole Meal Planning

The Table Is Set

The techniques we’ve learned so far all come together this week – we’re going to show you how to make an entire meal using a Vitamix blender and not much else. Not only are these recipes easy to make, most are faster than traditional preparations, so you’ll spend less time in the kitchen and more time with family and friends.

We’ll also go beyond the standard blending container and show you what you can do with just a couple accessories. The Aer™ container is perfect for muddled cocktails, cold milk foam for cold-brew coffee, and emulsions like hollandaise sauce or vinaigrette. Blending cups and bowls are just as versatile, and can be used for single-serving blends, spice grinding, or smoothies on the go.

Vitamix Tip: Full-Container Blending

Cooking for a crowd? Vitamix blenders are powerful enough to pulverize a full container of ingredients. Then, when they start to blend down, you can add even more through the lid plug while the machine is running.
