At a maximum of 83dB, the blender is no louder than other powerful blenders, but it's still loud, and irritating when blending for this length of time. It’s then blended for a little under six minutes. This simple soup means thawing some frozen corn and adding it to the blender with stock, thyme and a small amount of onion. However, certain ingredients like potato or squash require cooking before being added to a soup, so I went down the simpler route, following Vitamix's recipe for corn soup. This blender turns cold ingredients into hot soup by using the heat created by the blades to cook. It was aerated but not overly and all the ingredients were perfectly liquidized. There were definitely fewer seeds compared to when I’ve made it in other blenders. It had a thick, smooth texture I'm used to this smoothie being a little gritty from the raspberry seeds but almost all of them had been blended smooth. The texture was so good that halfway through his smoothie, even my husband commented ‘that’s a good blender’. The container has a wide pouring lip that makes pouring out the smoothie fast and clean.Īn 80 second blend is super speedy for this particular smoothie.
I blended it for 40 seconds at max speed and then had a quick look before deciding it would benefit from a bit longer and blending for a further 40 seconds. I made enough for two large portions and the ingredients came up to the 42 oz line, so it wasn’t far off the maximum capacity. I added milk, yogurt, protein powder, oats, peanut butter, frozen raspberry, frozen blackcurrant, and ice cubes. Since it’s something I make often, it helps me evaluate the effectiveness of the blender. Blending a smoothieĪs a starting point I blended a smoothie recipe that’s a mainstay in my house. And I didn’t realize until I read the soup recipe that it can also be used to create hot soups, using the friction of the blades to heat up and blend cold ingredients into a hot soup in under 10 minutes. That said, the recipe book does include some helpful guidance on the order various ingredients should be added to the container when making a smoothie.
You’ll have to head to the Vitamix website for additional inspiration and there are plenty of recipes there, which does kind of make me wonder why they bothered printing this recipe book, which I fear is just destined for recycling. This thing might be a thick booklet that promises much inspiration, but the reality is that there are only 12 recipes, and the rest of the booklet is translations. I quickly leafed through the recipe booklet and when I say quickly, I mean it. Those with limited power points will welcome the long power cord power, and it can be wound around a cord storage area beneath the base, so it doesn’t get in the way if you don’t need it.
