Just got a Vitamix for its myriad uses in the kitchen but wanted to know if and how /ck/ uses it in their kitchen. Among the uses relevant to me will be homemade nut butters, fresh almond milk, smoothies, and possibly homemade grain milling.
Would appreciate any ideas and recipes you might have.

You can make soups with it and break rocks too. :)

I don't use these things as they are such a pain in the ass to clean. You can't even put the glass container in the dishwasher. Everything that needs blending I do with an immersion blender. I only use my blender to make frozen Margaritas or other frozen drinks.

Got an AIMORES for my birthday last November. Since then I've mostly stopped eating solid food.
Second pic: 5-lb broccoli, 5-lb cauliflower, 4 bell peppers, 2 jalapeños. After leaving in the fridge overnight I mix with homemade Greek yogurt (I make 2-3 gallon batches each week), flax, and other stuff (like garlic cloves and apple cider vinegar), then pour into five half-gallon thermoses which make my work lunches.
Third: 2-lb split pea, 2 cups rice protein powder, 1 cup flax, 1 cup peanuts (fed through a coffee bean grinder first). Tastes nice using the half-gallon of stock leftover from the above broccoli/peppers/etc, and makes a great base for chicken-veggie stew.
Fourth: 2-lb lentils, 1-1/2lb sesame seed, 3 vidalia onions, 3 cloves garlic. Great hummus for chicken sandwiches. (Homemade bread of course.)

…fucked up the pic alignment. The darker one is the hummus and I'm sure you can figure out which is the huge bin of boiled-then-blended veggies.

Wish I had known about really high end blenders years ago, so instead of a $330 grain miller, $220 blender, and $170 food processor (still need), I could've saved money and storage space getting a $400-550 blender that could do it all.

That's really not good for your guts or jaw, man.

I don't think it would be too, big of an issue for his guts, but it's definitely not good for the jaw or teeth. I wonder if he's noticed any tooth soreness yet?

I might just be ignorant, but what’s the problem? Jaw muscle atrophy?

Your teeth get sore and loose after a couple weeks. I was on a liquid diet for awhile and I had to start chewing gum or else the pain would creep back in after a few days.

Does anyone else have a Vitamix? I've been curious how to make good sorbets since the Vitamix site recipes are made by the company owner's granddaughter or something like that and they're literally all dogshit.

Jaw muscle atrophy is one of them as well as problems with teeth which the other anon suggested but the other is the motion of chewing triggers signals in your brain to make you feel full and start digestion. Slamming ready processed food into your gut like that isn't great for your digestion and often results in over eating. Short term it's harmless but as a lifestyle choice you'll find you're getting diarrhea and stomach cramps. Long term (say years) you're risking serious degradation of the muscles and lining of your bowel so when you start back on solids again you're likely to get tears.
Personally I really like liquid meals especially on the go but as a replacement for normal eating it's not good.

it's a tool, so no i don't really know any vitamix-specific recipes, but like the above posts, it's great for emulsions and purees and smooth soups/sauces
>>13030
anon, they're for different things, but i'll agree that robot-coupes can do -more- things and take attachments.
