VitaMix 5200 :Product Review

Hippocrates, the "Father of Medicine" stated, "Let food be thy medicine, and thy medicine thy food!" He understood this basic principle, that nature has created nutrients that heal, promote health and wellness, and prevent disease. The best way to acquire these nutrients is to eat raw foods. Raw foods contain wholesome nutrients that have not been altered, denatured, cooked, or preserved. Yet, many times, eating raw can be very difficult and consume valuable time in food preparation.

Faced with this predicament, we decided to try out a powerful blender - the Vitamix 5200. We have had our VitaMix for over 6 months now. My wife and I love smoothies and other various dishes that can be made simply in the blender. Our recurring problem that we had in the past attempting to eat more raw was that each blender that we would purchase would break or burn out - no matter the brand or the amount of money that we spent on it. Once we decided to start eating more raw, blenders were breaking monthly or even weekly! We wanted a blender that was built to last...

Upon doing some research, we discovered that VitaMix offered a 7-year warranty. With a guarantee that we would not have to buy another blender for at least 7 years, we were excited. Even though the blender has a price of $449, we determined that we were spending more than that over a 7 year period just buying blender after cheap blender. Moreover, with all of the power packed behind the blender, there were so many other dishes, dips, and desserts we could make that we could not even attempt with other blenders.

We have used our VitaMix every day for the last 6 months. Some of my new raw favorites are: Homemade Coconut Ice Cream (sugar-free and non-dairy), Green Smoothies, Almond Milk, Cashew Frosting, Cocoa Pudding, Peach Cobbler, and Banana Coconut Cream Pie. This powerful blender has made trying new dishes exciting and making raw, wholesome foods a breeze.

Not only did we get a great blender, but VitaMix included a cookbook with numerous recipes to try out in our new blender. The 64-oz. container is large enough to make many servings and is durable, dishwasher safe, and easy to clean. Oh yeah, and it is mess free on the base.

Imagine all of the nutrients that can be acquired with this handy little tool! The blender chops the foods quickly into small, readily absorbable bits with no heat or cooking. The raw nutrients created by nature are made available for nutrition in seconds.

We feel healthy, vibrant, and alive and love the nutrition we get from our VitaMix 5200 blender. We know that we made a great choice!
