Guest guest Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Made soup for dinner, 2 carrots, 2 campari tomatoes, 1 stalk celery, taco seasoning and beef broth. After it heated up I added some corn. Then I made oat milk from the blenditandmendit site. I probably wouldn't drink it but it should be good in a smoothie. The only thing was the recipe/instructions say to strain it like almond milk but there was nothing in mine to strain. Maybe after it settles overnight there will be something in the bottom to strain. I didn't have any dates yet so I used 2 tbsp of honey. This machine is amazing! It's really tall for me though. I think it may be a little awkward using the tamper with it on the counter. Might have to put it on the kitchen table instead. It's going to be a fun weekend trying all kinds of recipes. Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Thanks for the report! I love to hear what people make for their first recipes!If it is too tall, you "might" want to consider the extra 32 oz. container. I use mine 90% of the time! It fits under the cabinets, and is very easy to handle, and to clean! :-)If you buy it within 3 months of getting your machine, you can get it at the package price (as if you bought it with your machine) of $99 rather than the $129 online retail price… Blessings,Lea Ann SavageSatellite Beach, FL(321) 773-7088 (home)(321-961-9219 (cell)))><'>www.VitamixLady.comwww..com<))>< On Mar 13, 2012, at 8:46 PM, chele519 wrote: Made soup for dinner, 2 carrots, 2 campari tomatoes, 1 stalk celery, taco seasoning and beef broth.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Thanks so much. The reason I didn't go with the 48oz container she offered me when I ordered is that my current blender is 48 oz and with the green smoothies, somtimes I have it filled to the top and have to blend some down and then add the rest of the greens. I will definitely order another 64oz then. Thanks for all the info. > > Made soup for dinner, 2 carrots, 2 campari tomatoes, 1 stalk celery, taco seasoning and beef broth.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Congratulations. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. You might want to buy the smaller container. It will fit on the counter under the cabinets IF you take the clear plastic plug out of the top and just drop it into the machine. Before I had the smaller container I could only store it on the counter under the cabinets by having the container sit beside the base. terry On Mar 13, 2012, at 8:46 PM, chele519 wrote: > Made soup for dinner, 2 carrots, 2 campari tomatoes, 1 stalk celery, taco seasoning and beef broth.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 It fits if I store the top upside down. I didn't want the smaller container because then I couldn't fit as much. Even in my regular 48 oz blender, the leafy greens fill right to the top and I have to blend and then add more. > > > Made soup for dinner, 2 carrots, 2 campari tomatoes, 1 stalk celery, taco seasoning and beef broth.
