I’ve been having a lot of fun lately experimenting with new Vitamix recipes, and today I made a smoothie that really turned out to be delicious! I’ve been buying organic vegetables lately and I can really taste the difference.

2 large handfuls of organic spinach
1 organic apple
1/2 organic red bell pepper
1/2 organic cucumber
1 organic tomato
2 large handfuls of organic baby carrots
3 tablespoons of milled flax seed
1 clove of garlic

Ever since my VitaMix 5200 arrived, I’ve become a smoothie junkie. I’ve been throwing together some pretty interesting concoctions and the one I made for breakfast this morning turned out to be really good…

The smoothie that I made this morning was overflowing with nutritional goodness. Here is a list of the ingredients:

2 cups of water
1 cup of “All Whites” liquid egg whites
1/2 cup of frozen blueberries
9 whole frozed strawberries
1/2 cup of frozen rhubarb
3 huge handfuls of kale
1 banana
3 tablespoons of milled flax seed
1 roma tomato

This smoothie turned out to be delicious and it gave me a ton of energy to start the day off right. Highly recommended!

VitaMix 5200 Smoothie Recipe

I made another smoothie for breakfast this morning with the new VitaMix 5200 blender. I basically threw all of these ingredients together on the fly, it didn’t turn out too bad actually!

Ingredients:

2 cups of water
2 sticks of celery
2 handfuls of romaine lettuce
1 cup of whole strawberries
1 cup of “All Whites” liquid egg whites
3 tablespoons of milled flax seed

Overall, the taste wasn’t bad. This smoothie had a very mild flavor and went down very easy.

My First Vita-Mix 5200 Smoothie

Blender Reviewer — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 14:15:07 +0000

I couldn’t wait to try out the Vita-Mix 5200, so I whipped up my first smoothie with it a few minutes ago. While I didn’t follow any particular recipe for this smoothie, it turned out fine…

The ingredients: 2 cups of water, 3 tablespoons of flax seed, a large handful of kale, a large handful of romaine lettuce, 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries, and a 1/2 cup of frozen blackberries.

After loading all of the ingredients into the container, I snapped on the lid, mounted it on the base, and flipped the on switch. Vita-Mix recommends that you always begin blending on the “Variable” setting before bumping things up to “High”. After about 45 seconds of blending, I shut the 5200 down.

While it didn’t turn out to be half as good looking as those pretty, bright green concoctions you see — it wasn’t too bad. As far as flavor goes, I wouldn’t drink it for fun but it didn’t taste horrible by any means (and I had no trouble at all getting it down).

Performance of the Vita-Mix 5200? It passed the initial test with flying colors and blended all ingredients quickly and easily. About the only thing I’m not in love with at this point is the noise — this blender is a bit on the loud side!
