One of my new year’s resolutions (and I DO know that it is almost March) was to start blogging consistently again. In the past couple of years, I haven’t been true to the mission of my blog. Sure I post real estate stats every month, but friends consistently ask me what happened to my posts about life and family. So here I go…better late than never!
Don’t judge me because my first non-real estate post is about a kitchen appliance. I’m not sure what that says about me but I am definitely, head over heels in love with our new Vitamix 750. This machine is awesome! In just a few short days, it has transformed our daily habits. My boys are begging for “green machine” smoothies every day and I can’t get enough either. We struggled for a while over the ridiculous price tag but we definitely feel we will get our money’s worth!!
I realize that the photo above may not appeal to many. Let me assure you that the taste is nothing like the color 🙂
Here’s my favorite recipe:
- Kale
- Spinach
- 2 carrots
- 4-5 cherry tomatoes
- 2 bananas
- 1 cup frozen peaches (I do berries too but then the smoothie is not green)
- 1 apple
- 2-3 big spoonfuls of nonfat greek yogurt (I like Fage or Chobani)
- 1/2 cup water
- Drizzle of agave syrup
As a side note, if you’re thinking of buying one, the best price is at the JL Hufford website. I Googled “Vitamix Coupons” and found one for 10% off and free shipping. Happy Juicing!
