Smoothies are a delicious and versatile way to include more fruit and veggies in your diet. We all have our favorite smoothie recipes and whether you like kale or kiwi, banana or mango there’s one thing that’s essential to bring a smoothie together. The liquid base. Without some liquid added a smoothie ends up very […]

Vitamix is one of the leading brands in the blender industry, offering blenders that are in use for over 100 years. They have a wide range of blenders for the customers to choose from. However, you may wonder why Vitamix blenders are so expensive. Vitamix is so expensive as it has unmatched features as compared […]

Smoothies have a summertime feel about them. I don’t know if it’s the fresh fruit or just the liquid instead of solid food that really makes it the ideal meal choice on a too-hot-to-eat kinda day. The one thing I struggle with making smoothies is the portioning of all the ingredients. You often only need […]

The first time I ever considered juicing at home was a bit of a disaster. I had read in some cookbook that you can make cold-pressed apple juice at home without a blender. Figuring I’d give that a go, I grabbed my Vitamix blender and some lovely fresh apples and threw them in, pips and […]

Apples do have a wider variety of flavors between the varieties, but oranges do seem to have a higher micronutrient content. They are both […]

Calorie counting seems to be a love it or hate it type weight loss program with some people swearing by it whilst others condemn it as the most evil punishment anyone could behold. I like to count calories from time […]

Juice cleansing is hugely popular with annual sales of juice topping $30 million for one New York city juice bar. With so much choice when it comes to diet these days it seems mad that fruit and vegetable juice is making so many Americans dig into their wallets. Compared to buying whole foods, cold pressed […]

I love kiwi fruit. They’re oh so sweet yet have that lovely sour tang to balance this out. I love eating them whole, adding them to smoothies and fruit juices and even desserts and fruit salads. They don’t seem out of place anywhere in my kitchen but there is one thing I dislike about them. […]
