Vitamix
more than a blender
Once we removed the gluten from our diets, we found that raw food packed with natural enzymes and nutrients helped the body to heal. Raw organic healthy foods are not cooked, processed, microwaved, irradiated, genetically engineered, or exposed to pesticides or herbicides. It has been so easy to quickly blend whole foods with the Vitamix; a welcome addition to our kitchen.
We love our Vitamix. We make all kinds of delicious smoothies. They are easy on the digestion while incorporating healing nutrients and fibers in a creamy drink. The Vitamix blender is super high-powered, creating super-smoothies in minutes. And, did you know that you could make steaming hot soups and frozen desserts in the Vitamix too? And clean up is super fast.
Here is Our Favorite Green Smoothie recipe.
- 2 medium organic carrots
- 1 stalk organic celery
- 1 organic gala apple
- 4 organic strawberries
- ½ organic avacado
- 4 organic kale leaves
- 2 cups filtered water
- Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure lid.
- Set the Vitamix to pre-programmed Smoothie setting and start the machine. It will automatically shut off once the cycle is complete.

What is the serving size for this recipe?

Hi Kara,
Great question. Thank you for visiting.
A serving size can be anywhere from 8 oz. to 16 oz. You can store the remainder in the refrigerator. My husband and I have been drinking about a quart of green smoothies over the course of a day for about a year. It’s best to drink them on an empty stomach. We have noticed that as our diets have gotten cleaner, our digestion is better, our bodies are better able to fight infection and we don’t crave as many calories. We’ve each lost about 15 – 20 lbs. easily. So you may want to start small and work your way up.
