    Default So excited! Finally got my Vitamix!

    My FIL bought it for me!
    What a wonderful man!
    He is so happy to see me get healthy and hopes I lead dh there also.

    Costco had it for a great deal and they were doing a wonderful demo too, except he kept putting NOT RAW honey in everything. I did taste test though bc I have never seen a vita mix irl before and I was super impressed! IRL is better than You Tube :)

    So far I have made orange sorbet! So simple! Just oranges and ice and agave. YUM!

    Also I made chocolate ice cream. Rich and creamy! I will not miss dairy! Ever!

    I am on cloud 9 right now. I just had myself a good cry too. I still can't quite figure out why/how raw makes me so emotional, but it does.

    God's Love,

    Kristin

    That's how I got my Vitamix. At Costco that is. Now I don't know how I ever got by without it.

    ARe there Vitamixs that have a Heat Factor? Or do you just put warm water in it to make soup?

    The Vitamix goes so fast that the friction warms up the soup if left on long enough :) 3-5 minutes and it's boiling. 2 minutes and it's warm but raw.
