Vitamix

I am now the proud owner of a Vitamix Blender. 

I was walking through the NEX when I saw this woman put granulated sugar into a blender and turn it into powdered sugar.  So I stopped.  Then she ground oats into flour.  Seriously?  So we stood there through her presentation where she made a smoothie, sorbet, tortilla soup (the blender rotates so quickly it BOILS water), and ice cream.  So I bought one.  The fact is, I was sold after the powdered sugar.  I just stood through the presentation for the free snacks.  The kids loved it.

We have used it every day - usually more than once a day.  We are still stuck in the Navy Lodge on base where there is technically a kitchen, but not a very good one, so to have this amazing tool has been wonderful.  The kids love the smoothies and sorbets.  I love that they are getting healthier food.  Yea Vitamix!
