Vitamix Everyday

After a decade of wanting a VITAMIX I finally got one for Christmas thanks to my hubby. I will be posting my VITAMIX recipes that I get off the Net and that I make up myself.

Day 1:

Breakfast

Revive with protein!!

Morning Protein Smoothie with Spinach and Carrot

I make shakes in the morning for me and my husband so if you want to make a serving for one just cut the recipe in half. 

2 cups of Trader Joes Coconut Milk (unsweetened)

3 cups spinach (fresh baby)

2 scoops of RAINBOW LIGHT  Chocolae Protein Energizer 

2 small bananas 

2 cups of Costco Organic frozen berries

2 cups of ice

Blend of HI for under 1 min till smooth.

I usually have chunks of seed from my frozen berry mix that get stuck in my teeth. Not so with the Vitamix. Cut those suckers right up!

I usually put a lot of ice to extend the amount of smoothie I get and fill me up.

Lunch:

Semi-Raw Butternut squash soup

1 Whole peeled butternut squash

Fill half way with broth of choice. I used vegetable broth about 2 cups.

1 Whole apple

1 Onion

2 Large Carrots

3 tsp of salt

a dash of Olive Oil (the good kind because you actually taste it)

Blend at high speed for 10-12 minutes. 

If you stop it at 10 minutes its very warm and not fully cooked (if you want raw) 

If you want cooked go ahead and blend for 12 minutes total.

I put some Goat Milk yogurt on the top to garnish along with pepper and some really good Olive oil. Had two bowls full and my husband had a bowl. 

I reserved the rest for my dinner recipe.

Dinner:

Squash Carrot Souffle 

I took the remaining soup above which was about 4 cups and added
3 carrots +
8 fresh eggs from the backyard.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Blended for 30 seconds on HI then added some shredded coconut.
Then I set the oven to 350 and baked for 45 minutes. I could have baked it for 55 as I think it could have been firmer.

Delish!!
