After nearly ten years of longing for , hoping and desiring to own own one of these. I've finally done it. I purchased my Vitamix 5200 tonight and it should be here in 5-7 days (delayed delivery due to the Holiday).
I am so stoked, excited and beyond joy.
This is bigger, better and more sustaining than an orgasm.


YIPEE!!!

[AngelLove]

:D yayyyy! wow i am so happy for you! my hubby bought me one for christmas and it was delivered TODAY!!!!!!!! oh my i am so excited i don't know where to start!

i want to use my cucumbers but have no idea if i am suppose to add water to the mix or just throw 2 of them in the container and blend?? any ideas???
:D :p oooh i am so thrilled!

love&peace to you all

[dani_b]

great! let us know what great smoothie recipes you come up with. I have also been wanting one for years and my b/f finally ordered one for Christmas. I can't wait to get mine too! I hope it lasts forever since it costs a fortune lol

[AngelLove]

yes it costs a fortune but i'm telling you it's TOTALLY worth it baby!!!!:D

I just made cucumber juice - WHOLE cucumber juice and oh my sweetnessss it was awesome. It took all of 2 mins to make!

2 whole organic cucumbers
1/3 cup of water (depending on how thick you like your juices)

throw into your babyvita 5200 and blend on high II for 2 mins. As this was my first time, i had to pause it every 30 or so seconds to move it around with the tamper. Also i used room temp distilled water, you may want to substitute with ice cubes instead for an ice cool juice;)

peace beautiful souls :cool:

[AngelLove]

[gettingskinny]

I am so excited for you. You are going to be thrilled! AWESOME!!!!!!!

[rawkchicster]

Yay! I'm so excited for you! That is totally my next purchase.... maybe santa forgot and will bring one in a few weeks?!

[Conscious Midwife]

OMG
I'm so so ecstatic for everyone.

I've done my budget for the first quarter of this year and in it I've include x amount of dollars each month so I can order more cool food stuff on line.

I already have a 9 Tray excalibur named Zeus and now to come up with a name for my Vitamixer...

definately a feminine name is in order

hmmmm

maybe Athena or Gaia

any thoughts?

[Conscious Midwife]

Wooo Hoooo

Haven't seen her yet but I've decided to name my new quieter Vitamix 5200...GAIA:D

[spiralgirl]

I'm curious to hear how everyone likes their new Vitamix because this is the one I'm thinking of getting.

I was surprised that the cucumber juice took 2 minutes to blend. Thought it would take a matter of seconds for a blender this powerful.

Just bought a new GE 800 watt blender to see how well it blends as it has a low/high speed and ice crusher button. I thought it would be instant but it took some time to get my smoothie nice and smooth. Maybe my expectations are too high. Don't think I'm keeping this new blender though as my older GE that is 450 watts blends pretty good.

Anywho I'd love to hear what everyone has tried making and how it compares to cheaper blenders.

hey spiralgirl, like i said it was my first time with a vitamix of any kind so it took me longer due to my ignorance of the it's behaviour and so i kept stopping it from time to time :rolleyes:

but oh my gosh today i used it several times! i made blueberry ice cream/apple celery cucumber juice (WHOLE!!!!!!)/warm room temp spinach and broccoli soup for my husband/almond milk/and CASHEW BUTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek: i know crazy eh? but it all tasted sooooooo good......so spiralgirl when i made the cucumber juice today it took 15 seconds

- ice cream 25 seconds
- apple juice 30 seconds
- soup (because my hubby likes his soups warm) 3 mins - it was just ready to savour.

will update tomorrow and keep track of what i make with times!

i am IN LOVE with the 5200 :p my new baby:D

~pure shanti pure bliss ~

[AngelLove]

oh and lifeAgift give my love to GAIA....you inspired me to name my baby so i am calling her SHAKTI:D namaste my yogini sister;)

[Evie]

I am happy for you. It is worth every penny. I tried a smoothie made with a vitamix once...it was awesome!

[Conscious Midwife]

oh and lifeAgift give my love to GAIA....you inspired me to name my baby so i am calling her SHAKTI:D namaste my yogini sister;)


oOOOhHHHH
I like the name

~Shakti~

[lori ann]

Yea,
I am so happy for you!! Hopefully, someday for me.

[spiralgirl]

AngelLove,

How quiet is the blender? That is the other thing I'm concerned about. I know there will be some noise but just wondering as I've never heard one except on youtube videos and my guess is the sound is muffled so you can hear them talk.

Good to know it whips things up quickly too. Did you make your cashew butter without oil or with?

[Conscious Midwife]

MY VITAMIX 5200 is so quiet:D

[GlimR]

I have the 5000...I went to Costco today and watched the demo...love watching them!!:D The man had been using his daily for 18 years and told everyone he ate about 80% of his food raw!! Yeah baby!! Loved to hear that in public!! He was 71 and looked great!
My DH bought me the 32 oz wet container. I loved standing there watching that demo with my cart loaded up with beautiful fresh produce and nothing else!!
