1. My Morning Green Smoothie

The ingredients may change, but my routine for a healthy green smoothie will not. It’s easy to make and easy to clean.

2. Blended Soups and Mashed Vegetables

I love soup and mashed vegetables. For me, it’s comfort food. Plus, it’s an easy way to eat a ton of vegetables and add in different herbs. This is regularly my dinner even in the summer.

3. Salad Dressings and Condiments

Store bought salad dressings have tons of preservatives in them, so I like to make my own. I usually include citrus or apple cider vinegar with herbs. For my oil, I will either blend in nuts, avocado, or flax oil.

4. Fruit Sorbets and Ice Cream

A Vitamix can handle frozen fruit, so oftentimes I blend up a bunch of berries to make a sorbet, or I will combine berries and a banana to make ice cream. The banana will make it creamy.

5. Soaked Nut Milks

Store bought nut milks also have preservatives in them, so buy some cheesecloth instead. Simply blend nuts with water, add a sweetener such as maple syrup or honey if desired, then strain through a cheesecloth.
