Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 For about 9 years I have owned a Vita-mix, only recently, since becoming a vegan (about 2 months now) did I realize that life would be a lot easier if I had a chopper. I went online to compare choppers a few times in the past two weeks, then when I joined this group I read a message about someone wishing for a Vita-mix. Only then did the little light bulb come on in my mind. I took my Vita-mix from the cabinet above the fridge (which means it was NEVER used anymore) dusted it off and WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!! This morning I chopped enough carrots, red cabbage and black kale for two large salads in only seconds. I am so happy I joined this group and was reminded about my wonderful Vita-Mix.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I have a Vitamix and I adore it! It is a real blessing. I use it virtually everyday to make hummus, tahini, chop veggies, make bar-type snacks (think healthy Laura bars), soup, etc. It is great for smoothies too and I'm working on ice cream with coconut/almond milk. I have a few recipes up on my blog at Cindalous kitchen blues which you can find by googling it. I do remember if posting rules allow me to give you the actual address Anyways, check it out and also look at the Vitamix website for more recipes. It is so versatile and easy to use/clean. I have used it to make bread dough in the past, but I prefer to use it for seed (flax) or nut grinding to make my own flours for less. Hope that helps, Blessed Be. -Cindy , " cmb55446 " <cmb55446 wrote: > > I have been subscribing to this list for a while, but I have never > posted before.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Hello All > I have a Vitamix and I adore it! It is great for > smoothies too and I'm working on ice cream with coconut/almond milk. On that wonderful topic of icecream, I have made a version based on a recipe book from a healing workshop with silken tofu. I didn't need to use a mixing machine of any kind cause of the softness of the silken tofu and the fruit pieces make it a bit more like the stuff from Sanitarium - although nicer and healthier and fresher and cheaper! fun for kids and anyone really! Recipe for Silken Tofu Icecream 1 packet of silken tofu - drained or not nuts - slivered almonds are nice - I added more to top when serving fresh fruit chopped - apricots were nice! and dried dates to serve! sweetener of your choice nearly a litre of soymilk - 900ml cinnamon simply mix together and fill a biscuit baking dish, packing down the mixture and spreading it evenly. freeze until desired texture.

Hello Chris and all On the topic of chocolate, I have made the choice to go for fair trade powdered cocoa. The brand I buy in Australia is Grren and Blacks Organic. It's all there on the website for further info.. www.greenandblacks.com blessed ethical and healthy cooking! duirbeannachd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hi to all of you my precious friends, I wish you all God's best for the New Year and always. Sorry for not being here as the computer has trouble since September last, and until now it is not fixed. I may come on or not, the technician, and if it does, after a short while begins to act up with funny behaviours. Something is bad in the CPU, but sometime it will be fixed. Love you all. Your friend, Abigail Never miss a thing. Make your homepage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
