Mish Reviews The Vitamix 4500 Two-Speed Blender
September 16, 2011
"My Vitamix blender is one of the best purchases I've ever made. For the past several years, I have been on a quest to lose weight and clean up my diet. I'm proud to say that after taking up running and eliminating processed foods, I've lost 85 pounds! Besides looking better, I feel fantastic, and that is largely because I incorporate fresh, natural foods into my diet every day."
"Like the Q Brothers, I start each day with a green smoothie. The energy it gives me is amazing. Once you try smoothies made from fresh greens and fruit, you will never go back to heavy, starchy breakfasts like bagels and cereal. But it's great for more than just smoothies. Vitamix blenders make it easy to live a processed food-free life. I make my own hummus, soups, nut butters, and sauces. I have even made ice cream from frozen bananas. Almost anything you can buy pre-packaged can be made in a Vitamix. Just read the ingredients and experiment! Avoiding chemical flavorings and preservatives and eating whole, delicious foods every day has allowed me to live a much healthier, happier life. If you want the same thing, I encourage you to to invest in a Vitamix blender. They're worth every penny."
