Your Vitamix(R) can do so much more than satisfying smoothies. If you are looking for a way to eat real, whole foods, but find yourself short on time, a Vitamix(R) is the answer. No manual chopping, grinding or mincing -- just a convenient and nearly instant way to get those servings of fruits and vegetables that many of us have been skipping. And grinding your own flours is now easily within reach so instead of buying flours that were ground months ago, you can grind for maximum flavor and nutrition and mix up bread, pancakes, muffins and scones while flour is still at its peak. Robin has created an extensive collection of tantalizing and innovative recipes that will help you get the most out of this exceptional appliance. You can create a wide range of delicious dishes from nutritious breakfasts to fresh sauces, sumptuous soups, dips and spreads to desserts that will have you reaching for seconds. And no Vitamix(R) inspired cookbook would be complete without a chapter on baby foods and the ever increasingly popular nut butters. This cookbook is packed with 300 mouthwatering recipes for: Smoothies Smoothie Bowls and Parfaits Juices and Blends Fresh Flours and Baking Baby Food Alternative Milks Sauces Dressings and Marinades, Spice Pastes and Blends Soups Dips and Spreads Burgers and Loaves Desserts Ice Cream, Sorbets, Milkshakes and Popsicles Truffles and Energy Balls Alcoholic Drinks Skin Treatments, Scrubs, Masks and Lotions Robin also includes useful information about your appliance, from the differences among the different series, to tips and techniques that demonstrate how you can turn your Vitamix(R) into an invaluable workhouse in your home kitchen.
