 Ready? I'm ready, baby. Okay, fix your hair. You just made it floppy. There you go. Okay. Let's do it. You got it? I'm ready. Okay. I'm so happy everyone's here taking the time out of your day to figure out if a Vitamix is right for you. I completely understand how busy everyone is and that even though you've likely wanted to stop and watch a live demo, that you just didn't have the time. So we're excited to give you that opportunity when it's most convenient for you. So while we wait for a few stragglers, quickly tell me where you're from. You can type it into the box and I can see where you're from here. Okay, so Minneapolis. Welcome. Cincinnati. Never figured out how to spell that one. Welcome. Boston, Tampa. Santa Barbara. Great. Well, everyone, welcome. I cannot wait to show you how a Vitamix is going to change your life. We're going to talk about the reasons why you should add a Vitamix to your kitchen, make some of our favorite recipes from our kitchen live, and answer any questions that you might have along the way. We're also going to show you how to take advantage of a very special package that we put together in partnership with Vitamix, offered exclusively for those who have attended this webinar. Okay, so show of hands. Who has used or seen someone use a Vitamix before? Type it in the box. Okay, so I'm seeing a couple of yeses. Great. You're already ahead of the game there, so stick around for sure. There's still stuff to learn, but most of the answers I'm seeing come in the comment box here are no. No, I haven't used a Vitamix before. Well, if not, why? Tell me why you haven't used one before. Too pricey, a couple of I don't know where to start, and there's just not enough time to use it. Okay, well, we're going to touch on each of those things during this webinar because they're really important, and I remember having those same feelings too. So let's talk about some of the things that we are all struggling with. Why you are here? Well, the lower end blender you bought just isn't doing what it promised that it could. Your family doesn't eat its fruits and vegetables. You have no time to prepare three meals a day, let alone healthy snacks, or maybe you just don't feel good about what you're feeding yourself. And let me tell you, I have felt your pain. It may look like I'm happy and healthy and just loving life, and I am, but that's not where I started. This is after years of adopting new habits and some really hard work. You've probably had some of the same struggles both individually and acting as head of household, and we're going to talk about those things in one second. But first, couple of housekeeping items. This webinar is not about me, but it's at least good to know who you're going to be listening to. So my name is Shalva, I live in Chicago. I'm a corporate trainer by trade, which means I come with this caveat. I'll do my absolute best to keep you engaged during this webinar, but you can help yourself too by limiting your distractions. I know it's hard, but close out of Facebook and email so you don't miss anything important. We're going to be moving pretty fast and I definitely want you to keep up. Okay, now back to why we're here. This lovely photo is meant to show you the difference between now and then. This was a few years ago. Look at me. Don't I look guilty? This was deep into my personal battle with food. My main food groups were carbs and dairy, grilled cheese, bed-a-cheese, Alfredo, mac and cheese, pizza. I didn't discriminate. I ate like a child. Maybe some of the following behaviors sound like you or you from the past. I was addicted to diet coke. I kept candy on my desk at work and counter at home. I was a vegetarian for years without subbing protein. I lived off of prepackaged snack foods. Did I want chips or fries with that? Yes. I've come to the realization, though, that it's not our fault. We are not our own worst enemy. We are up against Titans. I know it may not be completely obvious, but these organizations are your enemy. They prepackage foods that are labeled as healthy and they're far from it. They rely on you being too busy to prepare fresh meals. The foods they produce are deliberately convenient and cheap. It's in Big Food's best interest to keep you addicted to their products. Now, I could go on and on about this, but for this webinar, let's just remember who the enemy is. With all of my bad eating habits on top of the fact that I was getting older, I needed to be more conscious of my food choices. I had zero energy. I was completely hopeless and helpless. I know this sounds really cheesy, but every day to me it felt cloudy. I was stuck in this repetitive funk until one day the sun finally came out. And that missing piece? The knowledge that real food can taste really good. It took me almost 30 years, but here's my aha moment. Eating healthy is not that difficult and it can be seriously delicious. But what makes clean eating possible, convenient, and easy? The tool that helped me make this realization? Well, it's probably not a huge surprise here, but it's a Vitamix. The heavens opened up for me when I started dating a guy who ran a health and wellness blog who happened to do business with Vitamix. He dropped an extra one on my counter one day and it was the best gift I have ever received. I started messing around with fresh smoothies and somehow they were appetizing. I craved them and remember I had the taste buds of a child. I was getting most of my servings of fruits and vegetables in just one meal and smoothies for me were just the beginning. It became this magical tool that was making my life so much easier and healthier. That's when I fell in love with my Vitamix. And for the record, the guy too. This is Lenny, my now fiance. He started life as a no-yoke after leaving his financial consulting job in 2012. Are you guys ready to meet him? I'm gonna flip the camera over to him. Say hi to Lenny. Hi guys. He's in our kitchen setting up for the live demos we're about to do and he's pretty excited to show you how Vitamix can change your life. As we spend the rest of the time reviewing how much this machine is gonna help you change your eating habits, I want you to keep two things in mind. Eating right and convenience. Because everything we talk about today is gonna boil down to those two things. So let's dive deeper into just a few of the most common challenges that we're all facing. So here's the first one. This is a very common theme among families with children of all ages. It's hard for me to get enough servings of fruits and vegetables each day. So let's do this. Let's guess what percentage of Americans get their daily requirement for fruits and vegetables. Type your guess into that comment box. Bjorn from Atlanta says 40%. Evelyn from Pittsburgh says 20%. And Tara from Minneapolis is guessing 22%. Well, Evelyn's the closest, but it's even worse than that. It's 10%. That's right. The Center for Disease Control says only 10% of Americans get enough fruits and vegetables, which means 90% of us are falling short. Now, you're here today because you want to be on the right side of that statistic. If you're not getting enough fruits and vegetables, it means you're not getting enough vitamins and nutrients, which you need to have energy, focus, and immunity. You are hoping to change your routines. You dream of a day when your pickiest eater requests something with spinach in it. So how do you make those dreams a reality? Well, smoothies, of course. Smoothies are the number one reason why people buy a high-performance blender. They are the gateway drug to a clean eating lifestyle. People get so excited to start a smoothie regimen. More often than not, they'll use an inexpensive blender that they hear works miracles. They make a special trip to the store and load up on fresh ingredients. They Google recipes for hours and usually decide to start with a green smoothie. Here's what they think they're going to get. A luscious, vibrant, and tasty treat. Here's what they get instead. Salad from a straw. Then they try a different recipe thinking maybe they just made it wrong. The next one tastes like grass. Grass and kale with a hint of ginger. Now, as a random aside, I know the photographs on my slides are not professional quality. That's because they're real. These are things we made in our kitchen, which you'll get to see live again in just a moment. And we aren't using stock photos because we want you to get a realistic preview here. If the photos aren't ours, they're from the Vitamix headquarters kitchen. This is what things are going to look like in your kitchen, too. Okay, so now that that's out of the way, it happens so often that people are disappointed with their first green smoothie experience because of their blender. And the same happens with protein shakes. You think you'll get a silky, rich, and creamy treat packed with the protein that you're lacking. Instead, you get a mouthful of chalk that you have to choke down. Even with ingredients you love, like peanut butter and cocoa powder, you can't get your shakes into a consistency that you find palatable. Sadly, most people using a run-of-the-mill blender give up on incorporating smoothies and shakes into their regimen after just a few failed attempts. Their noble efforts are rejected not because of the ingredients, but because of the machine. So that's when you switch to store-bought. You figure you'll just let the pros do it for you if you couldn't get it, right? Well, there's a few problems here. One, you never really know what's going into your smoothie. What if my family has allergies or food sensitivities? There's not really a way to customize without feeling like a crazy person checking each ingredient on the menu board. Two, you can only buy one at a time. Smoothies with fresh ingredients are not meant to live in the fridge for a couple of days. I certainly don't have the time to stop every morning, and I know that you don't either. And three, they are so expensive. But they certainly are delicious. Do you want to know why? Because the vast majority of store-bought smoothies and shakes are made with a Vitamix. Let me quickly give you an idea of just how vast we're talking about here. Starbucks, Jamba Juice, Smoothie King, although not on this slide, even your local gym is probably using a Vitamix. Now, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Store-bought smoothies and shakes are not about fancy ingredients or magic formulas. The secret is in the machine in which they are made. To sell drinks commercially, you need the silkiest, smoothest, and most consistent blends. There's a reason all of these chains trust their Vitamix. Because the reality is, there's a lot of blender choices out there. Here's a sneak peek of a green smoothie made in a ninja versus a Vitamix and then strained through a copper filter. The one in a Vitamix is virtually seedless, has no pulp, and is vibrant in color. Let's just say the Vitamix wins hands down. We hear from people all the time about how much of a difference having a Vitamix makes when they're making their morning smoothie. Now we've done a ton of research comparing blenders and we're happy to send you links to our review videos after the webinar if you're interested. But because the Vitamix is really the star of the show today, let's move back into our kitchen. Lenny is the one in most of Life is No Yokes videos on YouTube and he's pretty entertaining when he has a chance to do a couple of takes. But because we're live today and like most men, he's not a great multitasker. He's going to show you our favorite green smoothie recipe while I explain what he does. Now this guy is a talker so I'm pretty excited to watch him struggle through miming these demos. He's showcasing the Pro 750. Remember, we've put together an amazing deal for you today and the Pro 750 is one of the choices in the package. This is the blender that lives on our counter and that we use at least twice a day. Now, a note about green smoothies. If you make it with the wrong ingredients or the wrong machine, it can be a total strikeout. But with the right ingredients and the right machine, it can be a home run. We found a recipe that is tried and true. Lenny is going to show you Carolyn's Green Smoothie, a recipe he learned from one of the chefs at Vitamix headquarters. Alright, so he's going to start with the liquids, almond milk in this case, but we've made it with coconut water too. And he's going to move on to the soft fruits and vegetables, the banana, the orange, which he's peeled, but has still left the vitamin rich pith intact, and the kale. Alright, then he's going to move on to the frozen fruit in this recipe, mango, which will give the smoothie its sweetness with no added sugar or flavors. If you want it sweeter, you can always add some honey or agave as well. So he's going to use the preset smoothie program and let this full cycle run for about a minute. Go ahead, yep. So not all models have presets, so you would turn those on high and shut them off after 60 seconds. Either way, the blend is extracting more nutrients than eating each ingredient on its own. The blade is pulverizing those ingredients right now. Something that sets the Vitamix apart is that the blades are not sharp. They break up that frozen fruit with their powerful motor. Why does that matter? Well, sharp blades eventually get dull and stop working. This motor is in it for the long haul. So let's recap why smoothies and shakes made in your Vitamix are so great from a clean eating and convenience perspective. What do these drinks do? Well, they help you get your daily nutrition, hide fruits and vegetables in a tasty drink. They help you customize based on preference and fill you up for hours through errands or track meets. And then from the convenience perspective, they save time. You can make them at home instead of stopping at the store. You can bring smoothies and shakes on the go. You can use beverages as a meal replacement. You can make a giant batch for everyone or make a small one just for yourself. And the machines themselves are incredibly easy to clean. Now we're going to talk about cleaning in just a second because it truly deserves a demonstration of its own. So it's bright green for sure. But it tastes like candy, not kale. Right, Lenny? Can I try? Amazing. All right. So if you need more proof about how delicious the smoothie is, here's a quick pre-recorded video clip of our downstairs neighbor, Patrick, trying a green smoothie for the first time. Try and tell me what you think. Be honest. I like it. You do? Yeah. I like it too. What does it taste like? Green strawberries. Green strawberries. So I said this blender cleans itself. Let's watch Lenny clean out his morning smoothie container. He's going to fill the container with a couple of cups of warm water, a drop of dish soap. He's going to remember to turn the water off for the first time ever. And then he's going to let it run. Okay, so let's note that all of the machines clean themselves, but the Pro 750 has a cleaning preset that will alter the seeds and shut up automatically. We're going to do it manually so you can see how the cleaning cycle will work on any of the machines. Now for obvious reasons, this is one of the things new Vitamix owners are most excited about. Watch. It's cleaning itself. How's that for convenience? The Vitamix makes a ton of categories of delicious smoothies and shakes that are phenomenal at hiding healthy ingredients, meaning this is the first way your machine is going to change your life. The first category was green smoothies. The second is fruit smoothies. So many options here, but almost anything you do will be a crowd pleaser. They're sweet and vibrant looking, and the beauty is you're the only one who knows all of the healthy things that you packed in. You can easily hide seeds, nuts, or supplements without tasting anything other than berries. This is the berry bliss, as pictured on my way out the door in the Nifty Vitamix thermal tumbler. It's raspberries, some non-dairy milk, coconut is my favorite for this one, pineapple, lime, and flax seeds. It tastes like it should have a mini umbrella. Category three, I'm going to call milkshakes. Hardly anyone gets enough protein or calcium. The easiest way to get them both and have it taste like you got it at a drive-through are healthy milkshakes. We make a peanut butter protein shake several times a week. Peanut butter or almond butter, frozen banana, almond milk, and vegan chocolate protein powder. We make these for breakfast, after workouts, or even in a pinch as a meal replacement with some oats to beef it up a little bit. So this is the second problem that you might be facing and something else we hear all the time. I am really struggling to find healthy snacks. Who here is felt this way? Okay, I'm seeing a lot of me's in that chat box. If you get nothing else from this webinar, at least take this point with you because it's going to change your perspective. Yes, you and your family love junkie snacks, but you don't need them. Really, the issue is laziness. What you need is quick and easy. If you stock your fridge with healthy snacks that are grabbable and portable, you will eat them. Now, I'm so excited to share this category with you because snacks are the best. And it's a silly thing to be so passionate about, but I truly am. I love snacks because that's how I eat. And a growing number of people now graze throughout the day instead of sitting down for actual meals. So by teaching people how to snack in a healthy way, it can have a profound impact on their ability to adopt and maintain a clean eating lifestyle. So this is the second way this machine is going to improve your life. Let's talk about one big snack fail that I'm sure we've all done. Pre-packaged snacks. You get them because they're easy and convenient, not to mention what it says on the packaging. Low calorie, gluten free, low fat, low sodium, organic. Deep down we all know this is just big foods marketing, but it's still irresistible. But here's the problem. Gluten free cookies are still cookies. 100 calorie snack packs are made in a laboratory and anything that's as low fat is loaded with added sugar. Even your yogurt. And this is what makes using a Vitamix to create desirable snacks such a better option. Let's talk about three ways to use a Vitamix to change the way you snack. The first two definitely fit the theme of convenience. The third one, while not as convenient, certainly provides a healthier snacking alternative, especially for those of you with special dietary needs. The first type of snack you can make with your Vitamix are dips. We love dips. You're looking at a few of our favorites, guacamole, salsa, and hummus. With fresh ingredients that you control, your dips are automatically super healthy. This means no added colors or preservatives. The Vitamix has the ability to make velvety smooth dips. And to get technical, it's because of your ability to control the speed to get the exact texture that you want. From smooth hummus to chunky salsa, whatever you please. With the ability to control the texture, you'll like these better than anything store bought. Our favorite dip, it's cashew queso. Vegan, cheesy, nacho dip with a kick. Its main ingredients are red pepper, almond milk, and cashews. It heats up to a perfect nacho cheesy consistency and temperature in your Vitamix. See the steam coming out of there? Just you wait, we're going to talk about it in a few minutes. Neither Lenny or I have been to a gathering in the last two years where someone doesn't say, Hey, where's the cashew queso? It's become our signature dish. It is so, so good and it's vegan. We've got tons of recipes on our website, including this one. If you want to check us out at LifeIsNoYoke.com sometime. But we're not the only ones with Vitamix recipes. There's tons of resources, other bloggers, the Vitamix website, and the cookbook that comes with your machine. You won't ever be short on recipe suggestions when you're part of the Vitamix community. The second category of snacks is spreads, and for the most part, we're talking about nut butters. Peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, and get this, you can do nut-free too, like sunflower seed butter for those of you who are dealing with nut allergies. Make them sweet, make them savory, whatever makes you happy. But again, these are great because unlike store-bought, there are no added colors or preservatives and because of that, they just taste better. The cashew butter we make is so light and fluffy that we use it as a frosting substitute and no one even notices. We're going to move back into the kitchen so that Lenny can show us some almond butter. So give me a second here while I get the camera situated. Okay, Lenny looks like he's ready to go. There's no prep necessary for this one. All you need is roasted almonds and a little flavorless oil. For peanut butter, you don't need any oil and that's usually the one that you'll see in a demo. But almond butter is our favorite and it's a little bit healthier. The oil is going to make it just a lot easier to get that creamy consistency that to us tastes the best. So are you ready? All right, he's going to pop the almonds into the container. Add the oil. Wait, we should have gone the other way. No, it's fine. Do it. Okay, normally you would put the oil in first but we can do it this way. This is actually better. And then he's going to secure the lid. So he's going to use that handy tamper that's included in all the Vitamix packages and he's going to ramp up from a variable speed one to high. Leave the almond in the plate. And rest assured that tamper is not going to ever fit that plate. It's designed that way. See how he's pushing from the corners into the middle? Now I know that chugging down is a little bit scary but this is she that has made the handle this fast and I promise the motor will turn. The two-part power motor is easily handled this fast in a minute. You can hear when the almond butter is done but the sound comes from both of it and the butter flows consistently from that plate so we're not quite there yet. But we'll talk about how these healthy snacks like almond butter made in Vitamix are going to help you to meet your goals of eating thin while you're finishing up. And we're going to use the crushing ingredients in a packed full of protein and vitamin that will make you full until your next meal and most of our recipes are customizable and you can store them in your fridge at home or you can store them in your fridge at work yourself from Monday. Are we ready? Yeah, the aromas are actually coming from the container so it smells incredible and it looks incredible. It looks like you got a little workout there. A little bit of a workout. We made a huge batch so it's warm and creamy and smooth. It looks phenomenal. Alright, do you want to show us the consistency here? How about spread it on that super healthy bagel? Spread it. Alright, so you'll see that that is spreading exactly like store-bought almond butter minus all of the bad stuff that comes in store-bought almond butter. Can you show it to the second camera there so we can see close up? That looks awesome. Alright, so it's spreadable. Is it dipable? Let's find out. It's a huge dip. That's how you like it. Your size dip would be... There you go. But take a bite so that everyone knows how good it is. How's it taste? It's like mind-blowing. It is mouth-wateringly delicious. It is so good. Alright, well you can also get super cute with it if you want and you can make, what do they call those? Ants on a log. Ants on a log for your kids, for your guests, whatever, almond butter on some celery with the ants, which are raisins. That's a lot of ants, honey. Ants infested. There's an infestation on our log. But I think that you can see that this has a perfect consistency and that these are really, really, really tasty. Can you agree? It's freaking delicious. Alright. Now, we just made a giant batch so it took a little longer than expected. Just needed a little extra elbow grease to process. We don't want to talk too much about this, but the ability to make creamy nut butters is unique to the Vitamix. Try it in almost any other blender and what you get is more of a chunky paste. Okay, so maybe some of you are already convinced that this is going to be more. For those of you who are super decisive, let me give you a quick summary of the special package that we're offering. For the rest of you, stick with me. We've got more live demos and we'll break down each bonus so you can really see how amazing of a deal this is. With our exclusive package, you'll get special pricing up to $70 off depending on the model that you choose. Admission into our Vitamix 101 Life is No Yoke eBook and free shipping. This is up to $153 value that you're going to be getting for free. We'll go into more detail about each package but for those of you who are ready to take the plunge and already know which blender you want, here's the deal. Through us, you can take advantage of an 18 month interest free payment plan. Me, you can have a Vitamix 500 on your doorstep for just $25 today, plus all of our bonuses. If you're looking for a G-Series you can welcome home the Pro 750 for an extra $6 a month or the 780 for an extra $11 a month, plus all of the bonuses which, remember, are up to $153 value. If you're ready, click the button on your screen. It'll take you to our secret sales page. The bonuses are only available to the first 25 people in this webinar who take advantage of this offer. So if you're ready, head on over. For those of you who are a little less decisive, let's do a couple more demos and break down each blender choice. Alright, back to snacks. The third category of snacks that you can make in your Vitamix is breads. We don't eat a lot of bread in our house because we're dieting for our wedding, but nutrient-rich breads are a great alternative to store-bought. We grew up eating banana bread but zucchini bread and cranberry nut bread are also really good ideas. This recipes, these recipes feature fruit and vegetables already, plus you can make them with your choice of non-traditional flour, which PS you can also make in your Vitamix. So like I said before, I wouldn't call it convenient. They definitely take some effort and an oven, but it's a giant step up from store-bought muffins, granola bars, and crackers. Based on taste alone, these are worth that extra effort. Now there's also a secret fourth category and that's adult snacks. Yes, this machine makes a ton of rated G healthy snacks, but it also makes a mean margarita. And your adult friends will very much appreciate the restaurant quality your Vitamix has provided for these, plus you can make a ton of other blended cocktails. Here's the third and final problem, an issue we hardly ever admit to ourselves, but it doesn't mean that it isn't absolutely true. I'm addicted to sugar. Knowing that just one Oreo cookie has about 5 grams of sugar, how many grams of sugar do you think the average American ingests each day? Type it in the box there. What are your guesses? Patty from Seattle is guessing 20 grams. I really wish that were true. John from Indianapolis says 50 grams, still too low. Barbara from Sarasota says it can't be 100, can it? Nope. It's 126 grams per day. That's equivalent to 25 Oreos, more than half of a family size box, and double the World Health Organization's recommendation. When I read that stat, it made me feel ill. Why? Because I'm sure that's how much I was unknowingly ingesting each day too. That's until I figured out you could use a Vitamix to make frozen desserts. What? This machine was already pretty great, but this? This was magical. And it's the third way that your Vitamix is going to enhance your life. Your blender will give you the ability to quell your sweet tooth, but also get a full serving of fruit packed with vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants. It is possible to train yourself to not be addicted to added sugar, fake sweeteners, and poison additives. If you've got children, you can still give them treats. You can even still use the line, hey, if you eat all your dinner but now, you don't have to feel bad about it. Now, Lenny is signaling to me that there's a few of you that have already taken advantage of our special offer and that's awesome. We know you're going to love your Vitamix. If you're ready to join them as one of the first 25 in this webinar to get those bonuses, hit the button on your screen. It'll bring you to the secret sales page. Now, we worked really hard to put this package together for you and all we ask in return is that you help us out by spreading the word. Alright, let's head back to the kitchen where Lenny is ready to show us his famous two ingredient ice cream. It is so easy to throw some frozen berries and some non-dairy milk or yogurt into the container. With these two ingredients, you've got yourself a perfect frozen dessert. This is a great treat for people who are lactose intolerant, like Lenny, but also for anyone watching their calories, like me. You might notice that some in-store demos use fruit juice concentrate and bananas and then add ice to create ice cream, and that certainly works. We just like the healthier whole fruit alternative in our house. So, he's going to simply add the almond milk, which is our preferred non-dairy milk in this house, and then the frozen strawberries. Alright, he's going to press the frozen dessert preset button, which is just a timer and it's not necessary if you have a machine without preset, it works great. Thanks, Lenny. You're welcome. Alright, so he's going to use the tamper for this one also so that he can gently push those berries into the blade. Yup, and he's going to blend for about a minute waiting for that sweetness to make some more texture on, and that has a moment of time. So, even the birds are going to help us right now. Don't let them eat the dessert. If you're going to press the button instead of adding it, feeling like you're getting a pretty interesting amount of sweetness for a low calorie and non-dairy milk, remember what we saw before. Looks good? Yeah. Did you get the vortex? Yeah, definitely got a vortex. Alright, so that's that famous vortex that tells you when the frozen dessert is ready, and just to show you that we're not messing around on the consistency here, show him how we go. Alright, we have done that before with it not working out so well. We were messing with the ingredients of it, and it did dump all over Lenny's head, it was the best. So, you can definitely try that at home, but only with the Vitamix. I wouldn't recommend doing that with any other blender. Okay, so let's scoop it out. Scoops. Scoops, scoop. And let's show them how ice creamy, sorbet-y this is. So you see it's making perfect rounded scoops, just like at an ice cream shop. Yeah, who wants just one scoop? Perfect. Perfect. And then at our house, we top it with some coconut, but you can also do chocolate chips, sprinkles, whatever you like. Alright, give it a try. I know the consistency is right, but want to make sure the taste is right too. So this is something we make in our house all the time, so Lenny knows exactly what it tastes like. I know what it tastes like. I'm right from the other side. Awesome. So good. So we also often will add bananas into our ice cream. It gives it kind of a thick, creamy consistency that's really delicious. The Vitamix Cookbook that comes with your machine is packed with more recipes, but here's another favorite. Just as easy and incredibly rich is Cinnamon Banana Ice Cream. All you do is blend some frozen bananas and add cinnamon. Top it with some peanuts or apples and you've got a very impressive dessert that is so easy to make. One thing you'll notice with all of these recipes is the restaurant quality. Lenny is spending just a couple of minutes on each recipe and creating amazing dishes. It's pretty obvious that we love our Vitamix, but do you know who else does too? Professional chefs. Vitamix is the number one preferred brand for chefs around the world. If you watch any of those cooking shows you'll notice them being used pretty often. In fact, 53% of commercial kitchens are rocking a Vitamix. And if there's anyone I trust to tell me what to use in the kitchen, it's a professional chef. This machine gives you more than the ability to appease your family. It allows you to have some creative expression. It helps you impress your friends while entertaining. Remember those margaritas? Now, I would certainly not consider myself a professional cook by any means, but mastering smoothies, shakes, snacks and frozen desserts was just the beginning for me. Let me give you a little taste of what it is that you will be able to create with your new Vitamix. Smoothies, sauces, dressings, soups, hot beverages, nut butters, purees, marinades, breads, juices, desserts, snacks, dips, spreads, cocktails, milks. Now, let that sink in. That is a lot for one machine to do. And we didn't even showcase the hot soups. Okay, we can't not show you some hot soups. On the left, that's our creamy vegan cauliflower soup and that honestly tastes more like a cheddar base soup than anything. And on the right is Lenny's famous chock full of protein and rice. Nothing excites new Vitamix owners more than prepping and cooking their soup in one machine. The blades spin at 2400 rpm and the soup heats by friction alone. One pot healthy dinners are the fourth way your Vitamix is going to change your life. How about we show you how's that sound? All right, Lenny is going to make a classic Vitamix tortilla soup but vegetarian style. The first things he's going to add to the blender are the basic ingredients for any soup stock. A tomato, some celery, carrot, a sliver of onion and some spices. Now, we like it spicy so he's going to throw a jalapeno in there too. All right, and we're going to use vegetable broth that's already a little bit warm. That's a demo trick just to quicken the pace a bit so that you don't have to sit through it. Gross. All right, so he's going to blend that on high for a couple of minutes and then he's just going to stand there and look pretty while the Vitamix does all the work. So the Vitamix can blend and cook this soup from cold in just six minutes. In fact, the classic recipe is cold water and a bouillon cube. You let it run and it heats. The way it's heating is through the pressure. The blades heat so quickly that they actually heat. Now, let me touch the side of the container. Is it hot? So it's not hot and that's because it's insulated and you can handle that high temperature. So our soup demo is only going to take a few minutes to start it with you on the draw. But while it's heating, let's do a quick exercise. A magic. It came known as one of the most spiritually savvy families breaking your addiction to sugar. Finally, going to see if you're satisfied with the way you've fed yourself and your family. Nothing will help you get to a faster and better environment. It just would help easy and easy. So we're going to wait for it to finish. One more minute. What am I supposed to talk about for another minute? We can talk about the other kinds of soups that we've made. We made a really good cauliflower soup that's the one I just showed you on the show. If you don't live with someone that's lactose intolerance, there are lots of, lots of each other types here. And the classic white mix one that we've seen during the demonstration is the chicken soup that uses real chicken and they put in potato chips which is actually a really cool kind of texture. We're not going to do that here today because we're trying to stay away from shaking blood in our house. I want you to leave it. We want to impress you by how hot it gets. They can't tell how hot it is from the chicken. Alright, so let's go. So I hope everyone just saw that steam come out. The Vitamix literally just cooked the soup. Alright, so the last step here is to throw in some textured foods. He's going to take that lid plug out in the middle so he can add the ingredients and he's going to turn it on a variable speed one. So we're going to add some corn, okay, quinoa that's fine, or corn. We're going to add some corn and some quinoa and that's going to mix throughout but it's still going to keep its consistency. And then he's going to stop it. Alright, and then he's going to use the pulse function so that he can chop the spinach because we want like chunks of spinach in there. So he's going to use that pulse function. Excuse me. So do you see how he has complete control over how big that spinach is going to be? And then he's also going to shred up some vegan chicken. Obviously if you eat chicken at your house you can use real chicken here. It's chicken tortilla soup. And use that pulse feature again and he's just going to hit it a couple of times. So you see how the longer his finger stays on it, the longer it blends but he can do quick, short bursts as well. Okay, so by using that pulse feature there, he's creating a meal with a variety of textures and flavors here. Now this meal that we just made has three different textures that we're in control of. Okay, so ladling some out for you here. It looks incredible. It smells delicious. I'll save you some. Thanks. So you can see all the different textures there. He's got some big pieces of chicken. You could always blend it up a little bit more if you want smaller chunks but you can be able to taste bites of quinoa, bites of corn but the texture of the actual broth is going to be that vegetable broth without any texture. Just a smooth broth and then you've added more texture later. Okay, try it. It might be the best one we've ever made. Good? It's very spicy. So maybe I'm not going to like it as much as you. It's delicious. All right, so one pot dinners are like all the rage right now and this definitely qualifies. In fact, you didn't even use a pot. All you used was a Vitamix. So I know what you're saying. Okay, this all sounds so amazing Shalva but and believe me I hear you. It's good. There's so many excuses. Time. That's a huge one. It's so much easier to grab a prepackaged granola bar. Those are healthy, right? But there are tons of tricks for prepping smoothies and snacks that cut your assembly time into mere minutes. Usually there's only a few ingredients you already have on hand and the cleanup is super easy. Not knowing where to start. That's a really common one. We'll talk a little bit more about this towards the end in a minute but we've created a Vitamix 101 course here at Life is No Yoke. It's a class to help you use your machine. It's not a grocery list. It has video tutorials on all the basic recipes that you'll be making. You won't be able to say I don't know where to start because we're going to be holding your hand the whole way. You may be thinking I just don't like the taste of foods that are good for me. Well, let's discuss the simple science. When complex flavors are blended into a perfect homogenous texture individual ingredients are difficult to identify. Meaning you can use things you know you love the pineapple or strawberries and mask the things that you don't like kale or chia seeds. I can promise you that if you start now in one month you'll be eating cleaner than you ever have. So if this all sounds as good to you as it does to me, here's that special package again that we've put together in partnership with Vitamix exclusive to attendees of this live webinar. There are three options based on the blender that you choose and I'll outline the differences in a second.

Okay, let's dive deeper into the actual blender options to see which one makes the most sense for you. We're going to do a quick comparison but these details are all on the sales page too so don't worry about making a choice on spot. The first option is the basic package. It's the classic C-Series Vitamix the 5200. It can make all the things we've talked about today and is self-cleaning. The next two are upgrade packages and part of the next generation or G-Series. They do everything the 5200 can do plus are designed to fit under most cabinets, have pre-programmed settings like smoothie and wash cycle and are 40% quieter. The difference between the Pro 750 and the 780 is that the 780 has a fancy schmancy digital display and touchscreen and it's designed to be even quieter. Okay, it looks like several of you are taking advantage of this offer and we're so excited that you're so excited. We can't wait to start teaching you how to use your machine in our Vitamix 101 course. If you haven't made it to the secret sales page yet I get it. You're deciding on which model and it's certainly a tough decision. But you can rest assured that all of these machines are amazing. We've used all three with great success and know that whichever choice you make you're going to be so in love with your new Vitamix. And here's why. The company's been around since 1947. They're a fourth generation owned and managed. All of the machines are made in beautiful Cleveland, Ohio. The brand truly values whole food nutrition and they are the name in high performance blenders. They also offer a 30-day risk-free guarantee because they really stand behind their product and they want you to be satisfied. Try a Vitamix machine in your home for 30 days. If you don't love it, send it back. Upgrades and even downgrades are possible. But no matter what you get to keep the bonuses. Vitamix stands by the durability of their machines. I copied the warranty straight from the website. It covers all parts, performance, and labor if anything should ever go wrong with your machine. They even pay for shipping both ways. Now a 7-year warranty is the best in the industry but these machines have been known to last for 10 to 20 years. In fact, someone just wrote on our Facebook wall about sending her son off to college with her original Vitamix so that she can upgrade it and we think that that's pretty cool. Now just a reminder about how easy this thing is to clean. None of the parts are removable. The blade is fixed to the container so you never have to clean between those parts or worry about slicing your fingers off. It's just one drop of soap and a couple of cups of warm water. Okay, so how do I cash in on this package Shalva? Well, you click on that button on your screen. That's the secret sales page with a decision-making guide so you can pick the blender that fits your needs the best.
