300 Best Blender Recipes: Using Your Vitamix

A Vitamix(R) can do much more than just make tasty smoothies.

It's not surprising that almost 1.5 million Vitamix(R) blenders have been sold. A Vitamix(R) chops, grinds and minces, a convenient and nearly instant way to get those servings of fruits and vegetables that are so often skipped. The Vitamix(R) also grinds grain, making fresh flour at home easily within reach, a good alternative to buying stale flours from the store. Breads, pancakes, muffins and scones will have maximum flavor and nutrition when made from flour still at its peak.

This book provides ways to eat real, whole foods when time is limited. Robin Asbell has created an extensive collection of tantalizing and innovative recipes that get the most out of this exceptional appliance.
