Mr. Cuisinart's Competition

by eatingbirdfood on January 10, 2009

Ms.VitaMix just so happened to show up on my doorstep yesterday giving Mr.Cuisinart Smart Power a little healthy competition: 100_2497

Ms.VitaMix is quite large and most definielty in charge. Don’t get me wrong, Mr. Cuisi did serve me very well – the motor never burnt up, the clean up was easy, and he made some excellt culinary creations, however, as with most blenders ice is always a problemo. This particular blender was better than most with ice crushing – it even has a speacial ice crush feature, but still not impectable. Ms.VitaMix has a lot to live up to, but I don’t think she will have any problem crushing ice and for an added bonus she has some extra things like being able to make hot soup, ice cream, and nut butters that Mr.Cuisinart simply doesn’t have.

As you can probably tell, I am excited about getting a VitaMix- so excited I couldn’t wait to get started using it. For lunch today I made a bowl of Blackberry Greek Fro Yo.

Simple 3 ingredient recipe:

This recipe was so easy and mucho delish. I can’t wait to make some other things – I plan to go food shopping today to get some star ingredients. Oh yea and I also had another tofu almond butter sandwich since I liked the combo so much. The yellow bell pepers add some crunch, which makes the sandwich just perfect!

That is some bright fro-yo, but looks good! Jealous of all the VitaMix love going on. Alas, Ms VitaMix will not be knocking at my door any time soon. Looking forward to your creations.

Yeeeeeah ya did! So glad to see Ms. Vita-Mix in your kitchen! I love the Greek yogurt recipe, too – yumm!

To answer your question about the tofu shiritaki noodles, yes, they smell! It’s kind of bad at first but once you dry them and heat them up, it goes away. I think they’re worth it :)
