Vita Mix Blender- Does anyone know where I can purchase this at a very low price?

Jan 19, 2009 by raymondd7 | Posted in Cooking & Recipes

I'm specifically talking about the blender I see over and over at the County Fairs. I do not have a model number. But the ones at the fairs go for about $400. I want to find the same one for around $100. Thanks!!!

Vita-Mix good for juicing?

Jan 02, 2009 by j p 2000 | Posted in Vegetarian & Vegan

I would like to make juice and had the Vita-Mix recommended to me. However, it appears to be a high powered blender and I have heard that juice shouldn't be exposed to heat or high RPM's. When I saw a video of a Vita-Mix making juice, it took about a minute and rotated really fast. It seems like this would heat up the juice and the RPM's wouldn't be good either. What are your thoughts on this?

Yes, that's the reason I didn't order one.
I just use the Breville because it isn't nearly as fast and I had the exact same worries.

Is the vita-mix blender really that good?

Dec 06, 2008 by Superfly sister | Posted in Vegetarian & Vegan

I'm into healthy eating. Every book I read on healthy eating talks about the vita-mix. This blender costs 500$. Is it really worth it?

I'm considering buying it, but I know some of you owns that machine.

Most constructive input gets the 10 points!

Thanks

I LOVE my vita-mix. It takes a while to get over the cost of the product, but if you enjoy spending time in the kitchen, this product will go a long way. And it is NOT the same as a robo-coup/food processor!
I'm planning on doing a post on my blog regarding how this product will pay for itself within a year, based on the uses I have for it. The idea being that my wife and I love sunflower seed butter, and almond butter. These butters cost upwards of $5-7 per 8-12oz jar. By buying the whole seed/nut and using this blender we save ourselves more than half the price compared with the processed jar. We also use it to make tahini (again, from the raw sesame seed), fruit smoothies galore, soups, etc.
It is able to chop vegetables like carrot and cabbage (add water to the vegetables, pulse the blender and strain off the water), but we never use it for this purpose as I prefer my Global knife.

trying to make raw almond butter but its not happening....?

Oct 10, 2008 by kimmyhop | Posted in Cooking & Recipes

Hello,
I am trying to make almond butter from raw almonds but it just doesnt come out as creamy as it is from the store. I checked the ingredients on several jars and they claim they put nothing into it but raw almonds, it drives me crazy... i tried and failed with grinders and the bullet blender so I went the extra mile and bought a vita-mix 5200 but even that doesn't make it creamy.
It is just too dry. Somebody said that i should soak it before or add some oil. Is there a way to make home made raw almond butter without anything added? I found a commercial grinder olde tyme but i find it very pricey for 2k... i found a used one on ebay for 900... wow...

please, any ideas? or recipes? or am I just really missing something here? I am so frustrated, gonna hate almonds for the rest of my life :)
hello,
the main thing is that I am trying to find a grinder, juicer, food processor which actually makes raw nut butter without added oil...
any idea?

How to make Almond Butter (Recipe)?
Raw almond butter is made from un-roasted blanched almonds

Almonds are a good source of proteins, and have the highest amount of dietary Vitamin E. This makes almond butter very important to vegetarians. For proteins, 2 Tablespoons of Almond butter would be same as 1 ounce of lean meat.


To make almond butter, used a Food Processor at continuous operation. Salt is added for flavor. Without oil, it will make a clump of nuts. Oil is added to give it a paste like consistency. I have used Canola oil. If you are a purist, use Almond oil in lieu of Canola oil. I have elected to roast almonds for flavor.



For a better formulation for brain food see Smart Nut Butter.





Ingredients
1. Blanched Almonds : 2 Cups
2. Salt: ¼ teaspoon
3. Canola Oil: 4 to 6 Tablespoons



Method
For raw Almond butter, Skip Step 1.

Step 1: Dry roast whole almonds in a pre-heated oven at 300º F for about 20 minutes. This will release their nutty aroma. Let them cool off to room temperature.
Step 2: Add almonds, salt, and Canola oil to a food processor. Puree it to a desired consistency. Add more Canola oil for smoother texture if desired.
Step 3: Transfer the contents to a clean jar with tight lid. Store in the refrigerator.
