A blender, that does it all including cleaning itself? With just a drop of dish soap and warm water, the Vitamix self-cleans in 30 seconds… Are you kidding me!?! That is exactly what I was thinking when I first received my new Vitamix, I mean is it possible that this appliance can make soup, ice cream, blend my favourite smoothies and drinks, grind my coffee and more + clean itself when I’m done!? YES!!!! You’re thinking you need one of these too right? In this post we are using our new 780 Vitamix, it’s low profile so it fits inside most standard cabinets, it has a 2 litre jug and it has a responsive touch screen too – it will only respond to your touch though so don’t worry, splashes or spills it will not! We’ve used it over the past almost 6 months now to give you a solid review over a longer period of time, we’ve used it to make a variety of soups, nut butters, dressings & sauces (both hot and cold), we use it daily for smoothies. I actually grind my coffee beans inside every Sunday to make fresh coffee for the week, the smell is intoxicatingly good and a total hit when guests are over for brunch! They have machines for the homemaker and professional kitchens, I say homemaker because as you guys know I think this is a stay-at-home mama MUST HAVE! I mean, self cleaning…yes palleaaseee!!! We also tossed our old juicer and we use our Vitamix for whole-food juicing now annnddd my hairstylist and I made homemade (food based) hair masks last week!!! But those are posts for a later date, I promise ha ha. Can you tell I’m excited about this thing?? We had so much fun shooting this, we made one of our favourite smoothies with Thirsty Budha Coconut Water (also our fav) this week when our Organics Live box arrived. We simply mixed bananas, strawberries, blackberries, spinach, coconut milk, coconut water & ice. The ingredients never make it very far when we do our food posts as Ella and I share the trait of hearty appetite lol, you can find more of Thirsty Budha’s products here!

Vitamix doesn’t make the every-once-in-a-while margarita mixer that’s stored away nine months out of the year. We make use-mine-every-day, can’t-live-without-it, commercial-grade blenders. So when you’re ready for an upgrade, we’ll be right here—in the same place we’ve been since 1939. – Vitamix
