Victoria Boutuko (spelling wrong) has great recipes. The Vitamix book sucks. Makes great firewood.

Chuck in a ripe avocado, some cacao, carob, vanilla pod, coconut oil and some agave/raw honey or a couple of dates. blend till smooooth, pour into a mould and freeze for a couple of hours. Yummy pudding/or pour into a date & nut crust for a pie.
Also, great for doing sunflower seed pate. Blend soaked sunflower seeds and water, add tumeric and salt and a squeeze of lemon juice.....maybe add some sesame seeds or tahini too.......yum

i have to admit, i bought a "magic bullet" blender to make dressings, sauces, and minor mixes. so easy to use, but use the vitamix for bigger jobs, of course.

I love my vitamix and usually make one of these on most days.

1 cup of water
I ripe banana
8 pecans or brazils or some hemp seeds

Blend and drink.

Yummy and you can add cacao or carob if you wish, or suma, maca too.

Enjoy your vitamix.

Hi there Pammie,
I just bought my first vita mix for my birthday in August too, and I love it. I have never bought anything as expensive as that before, but it is terrific. I use it about 4 times a day. I can make smoothies for the children for breakfast. Houmus and other dips are so easy. Even raw cake crusts are tackled in seconds. How did I manage before?
Good to hear from other uk raw foodists - I feel pretty on my own up here in Hull.
Namaste,
Jude.
