Vitamix for gluten free smoothies quickly blends whole foods in smoothies and even soups and frozen desserts.

Embracing a gluten-free diet marked a pivotal moment for us.

As we started on this path, a profound realization dawned upon us – the transformative potential of raw foods enriched with their innate enzymes and nutrients to facilitate the body’s natural healing processes.

Read how our food philosophy and mission developed.

Diving into the realm of raw, organic, and nutritious eating coupled with our commitment to shun pesticides and herbicides, solidified our belief in the untarnished power of natural nutrition.

We decided to incorporate these whole foods into our daily lives, and the Vitamix emerged as a cherished ally, gracefully taking its place in our kitchen.

Our journey with the Vitamix has been nothing short of delicious. As avid creators of mouthwatering smoothies, we’ve crafted many effortless blends of flavor.

Central to the Vitamix’s allure is its remarkable power – a force that swiftly transforms a medley of ingredients into nutritious recipes.

Beyond smoothies, we were pleasantly surprised to learn about its versatility in crafting steaming hot soups like this broccoli soup, baked goods like this cherry clafoutis, and luscious desserts like strawberry granita and scrumptious sweet potato pie.

The Vitamix defies convention by being a multifaceted kitchen companion that fits well with different cooking goals, all while minimizing cleanup time to ensure convenience.

In short, the Vitamix is like a friend on our wellness journey, helping us explore natural, unprocessed food. It quickly makes not just smoothies but also many yummy dishes, making it a must-have kitchen tool.

I have the Vitamix Professional Series 500. It’s over 9 years old and still going strong. It has an easy smoothie preset button so it only takes seconds to make.

So simply, load the ingredients into the container in the order listed, secure the lid, set the Vitamix to pre-programmed Smoothie setting and start the machine. It will automatically shut off once the cycle is complete.

Easy peasy! A refreshing gluten free smoothie.

The Vitamix doesn’t just blend; it changes food for the better, making it easy to stay committed to a wholesome lifestyle.

Notes

I always recommend  organic produce whenever possible. Organic produce is free of harmful chemicals and pesticides

Can I add other ingredients like protein powder or nut butter?
Absolutely! Customize the smoothie to suit your taste and dietary preferences.

Can I make a batch of smoothies for the week ahead?
It’s best to consume the smoothie fresh for maximum nutrient benefits, but you can refrigerate it for one day. However, keep in mind that separation may occur due to the natural settling of ingredients. Give it a quick stir before consuming.

Can I freeze the smoothie for later consumption?
Yes! Even freezing it in popsicle molds will make a refreshing pop for those hot summer days.
