The Vitamix blender was created to help people get more whole food goodness into their diets. 100 years later, we're still on a mission to help unlock the power of plants and make it easier than ever to enjoy more fruit, vegetables, nuts, pulses and grains.
We know that eating well means different things to different people, but fundamentally we all know that eating more plants and whole foods is generally a good thing. Eating plant-based doesn't mean that you are vegetarian or vegan and never eat meat or dairy. Rather, you are choosing more of your foods from plant-based sources. Plant-based diets come in lots of shapes and sizes and you should choose the version that works for you. Whether you're vegan, flexitarian, pescatarian or just giving plant-based a go there's something for you.

The power of the Vitamix can deal with all parts of the vegetable and create a smooth soup packed with flavor and nutrients (you can even make some from raw ingredients to piping hot in five minutes flat). Adding plant-based proteins (like hemp or pea) to smoothies and legumes (beans, pulses) to soups helps make them more satisfying and sustains energy levels throughout the day.
Once you've got the hang of smoothies and soups, give non-dairy milks a try. It's not only more cost effective to make most non-dairy milks at home, you get to control what goes into them. That means skipping additives like thickeners and preservatives and limited the sugar content.
