Obesity is one of the most talked about health issues today. Since 1980, overweight rates have doubled among adults and children and tripled among adolescents, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Regular exercise and good nutrition are at the heart of staying healthy, reducing the risk of heart disease, diabetes and obesity. But eating right can be a challenge in today’s fast-paced world.
However, with a bit of creativity and professional-style equipment, preparing healthy, delicious food is faster and easier than it may seem. Here are tips for using blenders in the Vitamix Professional Series to easily create flavorful, nutritious meals and snacks:
- Fresh fruits are an essential part of a healthy diet, and they’re easy to incorporate into your daily routine. Make a fresh fruit smoothie for breakfast instead of a sweet roll, or try a smoothie for an evening snack instead of ice cream, cookies or chips.
You can make a smoothie in less than 1 minute in your Vitamix. Just toss some fresh fruit chunks, a handful of spinach, a cup of water, and 2 cups of ice in the container. Crank the blender to high, and you’ll have a nice cold velvety smooth (and healthy) drink in no time.
- Soup made with fresh ingredients can make a light but satisfying entrée. Using a commercial-grade blender, you can create a variety of recipes in minutes – from a heart-healthy tomato soup to a delicious squash soup – and add more vegetables to your diet.
This is where the Vitamix shines. All you have to do is toss your favorite veggies into the container with stock and spices. Within 5 minutes, the Vitamix will deliver a hot batch of delicious soup. In case you’re wondering how this could be, it’s because the blades rotate fast enough to heat the liquid.
- The USDA food pyramid recommends 5 to 8 ounces of grains per day, with an emphasis on whole grains. The Vitamix Professional Series cracks whole grains into flour for creating delicious cereals, pancakes and healthy homemade breads.
- If you have a newborn, you can use the blender to prepare baby food at home using fresh, flavorful and healthy ingredients. When you make it yourself, you know exactly what is in it.
- You can offer fresh and healthy appetizer options for a party. Salsa or red pepper hummus on summer squash rounds are tasty ways to celebrate any occasion.
The above suggestions are just some of the ways that you can use your Vitamix blender. We almost forgot to mention ice creams, sherberts, nut butters, and puddings.
Oh well, you’ll just have to take our word, that nothing beats a Vitamix. Check out the models and reviews on blenders.bestdeallocator.com
