Wecome home, VitaMix, originally uploaded by speedvegan.

This Christmas, instead of getting big presents for each other, Geoff and I opted to make a sound investment. We’ve both enjoyed the wonder of eating raw over the last few months. In fact, I recently upgraded my food processor which has helped us make raw meals more easily. We considered getting a dehydrator as well, but the item at the top of our wish list was a VitaMix.

Yesterday, we finally turned our dream into a reality. We used the winnings from our recent trip to Vegas, split the balance and brought home a shiny new VitaMix. This is our first purchase together and a very symbolic one since we’re in the process of moving in together at the moment.

If you’re not familiar with the VitaMix blender, read Hannah’s review. It’s much more than a blender. It can heat soup, make ice creams and nut butters. The possibilities are endless. We used it to make coconut milk last night and green smoothies this morning, but I still feel like I’m dreaming.
