So you finally brought home that shiny new Vitamix! I’m guessing you’re itching to put it to work, and I’ve gathered 30 of my favorite recipes to keep that blender busy.
From velvety soups to frosty cocktails and dreamy desserts, you’re about to see just how much this machine can do. Once you start, you’ll honestly wonder how you ever lived without it.
1. Vitamix Mint Chocolate Ice Cream Bars Recipe
I couldn’t believe how amazing these turned out. So much flavor from just a handful of ingredients?
The base is coconut cream, cashews, and fresh mint leaves, not a drop of artificial mint extract anywhere near them. I love using silicone pop molds rather than the flat style because you can make a bigger batch all at once.
2. Creamy Vitamix Hummus
Store bought hummus always costs way more than it should, considering it’s really just chickpeas and a handful of seasonings. Skip the markup and whip up a batch at home.
Dried chickpeas will save you even more pennies; just remember to soak them overnight. Start with this classic version so you can taste how incredible homemade can be, then have fun playing with different add ins.
3. Vegan Banana Ice Cream
The Vitamix absolutely crushes it when it comes to banana ice cream because you don’t have to pour in any extra liquid. Other blenders often need a splash of coconut milk to get things moving, but this machine has enough muscle to whip frozen bananas into a perfectly smooth treat all on its own.
4. Vitamix Pizza Soup
Think of this as the cheesiest, most comforting tomato soup you’ll ever meet. I’m already the kind of person who showers my tomato soup with cheese, so tossing it straight into the pot just makes sense.
If you’ve got a few extra minutes, roast those garlic cloves, onions, and Roma tomatoes until they get blistered and charred. That little bit of effort gives it a smoky richness that takes it over the top.
5. Jalapeño Tequila Cocktail
I am not exaggerating when I say I’m completely obsessed with this cocktail. I adore jalapeños, and sipping something icy cold with a spicy kick is such a refreshing summer switch. A squeeze of lime is non negotiable, but if cilantro isn’t your jam, just skip it.
6. Peach and Lavender Frozen Yogurt
I’ll admit, lavender on its own can be a lot for me, but in this frozen yogurt it totally works. Like the nice cream, frozen fruit is the secret to a thick, creamy texture. And those peaches bring the prettiest pale orange color.
7. Foolproof Vitamix Pumpkin Soup Recipe
Because onion and garlic pop up in a bunch of these soups, I’ve got a handy trick: roast a large batch, divide it into portions, and freeze everything. Ice cube trays work, but I’m a huge fan of those little 2×2 inch baking molds; they hold a perfect single serving of each. Grab a cube the night before, let it thaw in the fridge, and dinner comes together in a flash.
8. Vitamix Chocolate Ice Cream
Sometimes chocolate ice cream can be too chocolatey, you know? It's just a little too rich for some people.
This recipe is chocolatey without being overpowering, plus it’s rich and creamy like soft serve. Most chocolate powers are not vegan, as they contain milk solids to make them creamy.
9. Peach Sorbet Recipe
I’m telling you, after you taste homemade fruit sorbet, you’ll never look at the freezer aisle the same way. It’s as effortless as freezing ripe fruit and blending it with a little honey or simple syrup. That touch of sweetness brightens the fruit, similar to how salt wakes up savory food.
10. Chocolate Peanut Butter Nice Cream
Ice cream reminiscent of a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, but without added sugar, vegan, and gluten free? If frozen banana “nice cream” hasn’t happened in your kitchen yet, pause everything and make this.
I promise you won’t regret it. Grab super ripe bananas, chop them up, and freeze them rock solid for the best flavor.
11. Easy Piña Coladas
Every vacation deserves a frosty, fruity drink in hand, and nothing says “getaway” like a pitcher of piña coladas. To keep things from getting watered down, freeze coconut milk in ice cube trays and use those in place of plain ice.
12. Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
I said it before, but it’s worth repeating: roasting your vegetables before they hit the soup pot dials up the flavor in a major way. With butternut squash, it’s also a huge time saver. Just slice the squash in half, pop it in the oven, and when the flesh is perfectly tender, scoop it out and whiz it up with broth and your favorite spices.
13. Carrot, Ginger, and Apple Juice
When you’re totally over plain water, juice is a lifesaver. But the stuff at the store is either full of sugar and preservatives or costs way too much. Why drop four dollars on a tiny bottle when you can whip up a fresh batch at home for pennies?
14. Vitamix Cream of Potato Soup
Give me potato soup that’s impossibly silky and packed with flavor. Immersion blenders are handy, but they sometimes leave things a little too chunky for my taste. That’s why, even though I start this on the stove, I always finish it in the Vitamix for that perfectly velvety consistency.
15. Vitamix Tortilla Soup
Vegan, gluten free, and on the table in under 15 minutes? Yes, please.
You’ll kick things off on the stovetop, but the Vitamix is where the magic happens at the end. Just a heads up: not every blender handles hot liquids gracefully, so be careful.
16. Easy Vegan Chocolate Avocado Pudding
I don’t always stock the pantry with desserts, but a sudden sweet tooth strikes without warning. That’s exactly when this 10 minute chocolate avocado pudding saves the day.
It comes together in a flash and tastes incredible. I love the gentle nuttiness of almond butter here, though peanut or cashew butter would be just as delicious.
17. Homemade Pineapple Dole Whip
Dole Whip is that iconic soft serve made with fresh pineapple, famously devoured at Disney parks. But you can totally recreate it in your own kitchen. Frozen fruit gives it that signature creamy texture, and swapping in coconut cream instead of milk makes it even richer and thicker.
18. Vitamix Minestrone Soup
For those nights when you need a fast soup without any sautéing or roasting, this minestrone is your answer. Dump broth, tomatoes, onion, garlic, carrot, pepper, celery, oregano, basil, and tomato paste into the Vitamix and let it rip.
In about 6 to 7 minutes, the soup is hot and ready. Stir in corn, beans, and any last bits, and dinner is served.
19. Vitamix Green Juice
Think of green juice as a green smoothie that’s been strained, giving you all the same vibrant flavor and nutrients but in a lighter, thinner form. The secret to perfect juice is stacking your ingredients in the proper order.
20. Sweet Potato Soup
I keep a stash of cooked, pureed sweet potato (or pumpkin) in my freezer at all times. It makes pulling together pumpkin bread or this luscious sweet potato soup a total breeze. A soup like this truly shines when it’s silky smooth, and a weaker blender just can’t deliver that kind of velvety magic.
21. Creamsicle Breakfast Smoothie
Let’s take a sweet turn! I honestly never thought to blend a whole orange, but here I am doing exactly that and absolutely loving it. The result tastes exactly like those nostalgic creamsicles I remember from growing up.
22. Vitamix Orange Juice
Sure, orange juice is tasty, but you lose a ton of nutrients when you toss the pith. That white part might not be the most delicious on its
23. Vitamix Vegetable Soup
The recipe has you steaming potato and pumpkin, but I often take a shortcut: dice them, toss them in a bowl with a splash of water, cover, and microwave for about 5 minutes. They soften right up and are ready to blend. The veggie mix is pure comfort for a chilly afternoon, but feel free to switch things up based on what’s fresh at the market.
24. Lemon Granita
A granita is like a frozen, scrapeable drink that comes in countless flavors. Coffee is my personal favorite, but this bright lemon one is insanely refreshing. The classic method involves freezing the mixture and dragging a fork across the top every so often, which fluffs it into light, rice like crystals with a shaved ice texture.
25. Vitamix Hot Chocolate
Swinging from one end of the spectrum all the way to the coziest hot chocolate. This is exactly what a cold night calls for.
Just like the soups, the Vitamix blends everything until it’s ridiculously rich and velvety and actually cooks the mixture in the container. That means you can toss in real chocolate chips instead of reaching for sugary cocoa packets.
26. Easy Vitamix Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Only six ingredients stand between you and what might be my top pick from this whole collection. I’m obsessed with that gorgeous green hue, and broccoli cheddar soup has always been my go to order.
Simply throw broccoli, carrots, onion, cheddar, chicken bouillon, and milk into the Vitamix and let it go. Prefer some actual bites in your bowl? Reserve a few broccoli florets and fold them in after blending.
27. The Best Margarita EVER!
As a self proclaimed margarita girl, calling something the best is risky. But I’m pretty sure this one earns it.
I adore that it’s made with whole fruits, so every sip feels like a slightly naughty, super healthy smoothie. That Grand Marnier float on top is pure magic.
28. Lemon Curd in the Vitamix
This method
29. Everything Smoothie
As soon as the weather warms up, I’m all about breakfast smoothies. An icy cold, fruit packed drink is just unbeatable on a hot morning. This one sneaks in a generous helping of veggies, so you get a nutrient kick first thing without even tasting it.
30. Dr. Oz Detox Favorite Green Smoothie
I did a double take too. A green smoothie that looks like a cup full of brilliant blueberries?
Yep. Those juicy berries hide a whole lot of goodness: spinach, matcha, and plant based protein powder. There’s also spirulina, a blue green algae packed with antioxidants.
