If you are still on the fence as to whether to spring for a Vitamix or not, the website Heal With Food lists a few benefits to owning one:
- A Vitamix can break through seeds, stems, and skin. Cheap blenders tend to make smoothies than are lumpy and lack a smooth consistency. If you are ready to stop having fruit stuck in your teeth then the Vitamix is the way to go!
- A Vitamix is self-cleaning. Just add some warm water, dish soap, and hit the blend button. When you are done just rinse the blender out and you are good to go.
- It is easy to find delicious Vitamix 5200 recipes. Not only does your Vitamix come with a recipe booklet, there are numerous websites online where you can find new recipes.
