Smoothies Blender

When my wife told me she wanted a $500 blender I laughed. There is no way in the world that a blender for smoothies can actually cost $500. Better yet, if there is, I'm not buying it. At least that's what I said to begin with.

After 6 months of making smoothies every day (+/-) we had already burned the motor out of TWO $35-$50 blenders. When we called to see if they were covered under warranty, the rep told us that they were intended for light, occasional use. I didn't want to spend $500 on a blender, but it was looking more and more like I needed to.

The fact of the matter is that if you really want to use your blender to make smoothies more than a couple times a week, you need to seriously consider getting a professional smoothie blender. The $50-$100 blender you'll get online and in stores simply aren't made to handle the rigors of regular use. Not only will a high quality smoothies blender last longer, the smoothies are actually better. I promise!

Prior to purchasing our professional smoothies blender I wasn't a huge fan of smoothies. Honestly, a lot of it was a texture thing for me. I didn't like getting chunks of fruit or seeds in my drink. With the Vita-mix 5200, that problem is long gone. This machine makes the smoothest smoothies you've ever had. Heck, if my wife doesn't tell me what she puts in it, half the time I would even know... which brings me to GREEN SMOOTHIES!

Never in a million years did I think I'd be drinking a smoothie with grass or spinach in it every day. But, that's what happened. This blender is so amazing that I can't even tell it is in there. Green smoothies are all the rage right now and they are incredibly healthy. But, if it weren't for our blender there is no way I'd ever drink one. This thing is simply amazing!

NOTE: My wife hates that I don't eat fruits or greens. Ever since getting this blender I have them every day and love it. This thing is a magic worker!

With this pro blender, you're going to be making so much more than smoothies. My wife has already used it to make soup, make peanut butter, mill flour, make muffins, and even make ice-cream... yes, ice cream! But that isn't even the tip of the iceberg. This blender can also:

- Kneed dough
- Juice whole fruit
- Salsa in seconds
- Make guacamole
- Frozen drinks
- Mill beans and grains
- Make cheese sauce
- Crush a half-gallon of ice in 3 seconds
- Cook scrambled eggs (I said cook!)
- Make mayonnaise
- and, yes, even make playdough

But that list is still just the surface. This really is an amazing tool for your kitchen and worth every penny!

Cleaning our "cheap" blenders was a pain in the butt! I hated it. Even when we tossed all the pieces in the dishwasher, it was never really all that great. With the Vita-mix 5200, you simply put in some water and soap, place it back on the stand, and let her rip. After just a few minutes you cut it off, pour out the soapy water, rinse, and set out to dry. That's it!

I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is the easiest cooking utensil in my kitchen to clean. Truly amazing.

Seriously, I understand that the idea of buying a $500 blender is scary for most of us. You might even think it is crazy (I did/do). But at the end of the day the Vita-mix 5200 is in a world all its own. It is worth every penny. If you want to get into making really healthy smoothies on a regular basis, then this is the perfect machine to do it with. If you're still nervous, the good news is they have a 30 day risk-free guarantee!
