Here are 27 easy vegan, gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar-free Vitamix recipes. If you’re into healthy fast food you are going to love these recipes.

27 Easy Vitamix Recipes: Meals In Minutes (1)

These are all blender recipes that you could make with any blender but it is much easier to make these recipes in a Vitamix because it is such a powerful blender.

If you are going to make these recipes with any other blender you might need to adjust the quantity so that it fits the blender jug.

And some less powerful blenders don’t allow you to use ice and frozen food so you might want to skip any recipes that involve frozen ingredients.

** Please note that this post may contain affiliate links which means that I can receive a small payment if you make a purchase through my links.

I am sharing a variety of different Vitamix recipes with you today including drink recipes, ice cream recipes, soup recipes, pudding recipes, nut butters, sauces and syrups, and finally a variety of different types of smoothies.

The types of smoothies that I like the best are thick shakes which are complete meals.

I called these Green Thickies.

The Vitamix copes perfectly with my thick shakes made from frozen fruit, ice, hard ingredients, leafy greens, grains, nuts, seeds and even some weird and wonderful ingredients such as beans.

The Vitamix will blend all of these hard ingredients ingredients up so that the smoothie is totally smooth.

Just how I like it!

Once you get a Vitamix of your own, if you’re anything like me you will probably get completely obsessed with it and want to try out every healthy recipe under the sun.

The same thing happened to me 8 years ago when I got my first Vitamix and to be honest with you I still love trying out new blender recipes .

I make all my own meals from scratch because I am allergic to most processed packaged foods.

So if I want nice tasty food I have to make it myself.

This includes all of my own sauces and condiments and drinks. Everything that you would normally buy packaged, I make it myself.

So I think I am fully qualified to share all of my favourite recipes with you because I have had 8 years of experience making almost everything you could possibly imagine that could be made in a blender.

And if for some reason you are reading this and you don’t already own a Vitamix, you can check out my post where I share my experience with a Vitamix by clicking the link below.

Hi Katherine,

I just wanted to tell you I completed the 7 day detox and I feel so great.

I have lost 6lbs, do not feel like I need more my morning coffee, the flushing of my facial skin from rosacea has dramatically reduced and I am so excited to wake up each morning and make a green thickie for breakfast!!

I am a stay at-home, homeschooling momma of 3 littles and at times so busy I would forget to feed myself!

I would go most of the day without eating and then snack on random things.

I gained 60 pounds the last 6 years during pregnancy.

I have lost 30lbs but recently plateaued and have felt so frustrated.

I’ve tried everything from paleo and keto to the point where I didn’t know what to eat or how much and felt like even eating fruit was bad for me which thankfully it’s not!

What a game changer for me. Thank you for sharing a simple but effective program.

I’m so excited to continue another week with this plan!ThankfulStephanie

Tip: Load the container in the following order: liquids first, then soft fruits or vegetables, greens, and ice on top.

How do you use a Vitamix blender? ›

Start the machine on low speed to begin the blending process, then increase the speed to high smoothly and gradually. Using the Vitamix at high speed allows the motor to pull in more cool air, which helps the machine avoid overheating and will extend the life of your blender.

What is the downside to Vitamix? ›

Vitamix blenders are known for their powerful performance in breaking down tough ingredients with ease and their high-quality construction. These models are also long-lasting and easy to use.

Is it OK to blend hot food in Vitamix? ›

Can I place hot ingredients in my Vitamix container? Your Vitamix Ascent™ Series blender is capable of heating soups to a steamy temperature of 170°F, so we do not recommend adding anything to your container that exceeds that temperature.

Why does my Vitamix smell when I first use it? ›

Although all motors are tested at the Vitamix factory, heavy use will cause further curing of the motor windings in new machines. This curing gives off a burning smell and is typical for wound motors. This smell will quickly dissipate after a few heavy uses.

Do chefs use Vitamix? ›

Vitamix fuels passions. It's why we're the brand most trusted by professional chefs. But you won't just find us in restaurant kitchens. You'll also find us in home kitchens around the world.

What is so special about the Vitamix? ›

Vitamix works by allowing users to manually control blending speeds, up to a whopping 2 horsepower, to give users the freedom to mix just about anything: cold co*cktails, chip dips, cake batter, soups of all kinds… if it blends, the Vitamix can make it. Furthermore, Vitamix can make something hot in a matter of minutes.

What is the circle with a line through it on my Vitamix? ›

Why does the display screen on my Ascent™ Series blender show a circle with a line through it? This symbol is there to let you know there is not a container seated on the motor base properly, so you will not be able to start the machine. Once you place a container on the motor base, the symbol will disappear.

Can I put boiling water in my Vitamix? ›

While the Vitamix container is built to withstand high temperature, it should never be used to blend any boiling or close to boiling liquids, nor any foods that are too hot to eat in their current state.

What is the pulse button on Vitamix? ›

The Pulse function allows you to manually start and stop your blender in quick bursts with control. A blend setting will consistently run the blender blade through a programmed cycle or until you stop it. With Pulse, you chop or crush ingredients, while blending continuously mixes or purees your food.

To prevent overheating, it's best to use your blender at intervals of 30 seconds until ingredients are fully blended. It's best not to leave the blender on for longer than 3 minutes.

How long should I blend something for? ›

The Fix: Take your time. Smoothies are quick, but that doesn't mean blending for three seconds is going to cut it. You want to blend everything really well so that your smoothie is lump-free. Aim for one to two minutes with a regular blender, or one minute if you're using a Vitamix.

How long does it take to blend smoothies? ›

Pro tip: A quick blend at full speed can create a traffic jam. Instead, start at low speed until the bottom layers are blended and gradually increase the speed. Blend at full speed for at least a minute. Don't be shy—it's hard to overblend a smoothie.

How long does it take for Vitamix to heat up? ›

For frozen treats, the high-performance hammer-mill action of the container blades crushes and emulsifies frozen ingredients in about 30 seconds. For steaming soups, the blades build up friction that heats fresh ingredients into steaming-hot soup in four to six minutes.
