Go to the vitamix website there are alot of recipes. Funny you posted this I just finished watching the vitamix intro dvd like 10 minutes ago. We got the new 6300 yesterday

The Cen-Tex Smoker

8 oz water

1 bag frozen mixed berries

nuke for 30 seconds (still frozen but softened)

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

No ice unless you defrost the fruit too much. 1-2 pcs is usually fine.

Whey powder? Protein powder? How about 8 oz vodka 2 cups orange juice 10 strawberries 4 scoops lemon or orange sorbet 1 cup crushed ice In a blender, mix the vodka, orange juice, strawberries, orange sherbet, and ice. Blend until smooth.

I  go the healthy route:

no-fat yogurt

bananas

strawberries (preferably frozen for better smoothie consistency)

spinach

carrots

honey

dash of skim milk or almond milk

 Blend-You will not taste the carrots and spinach so don't worry.

Substitute pineapple, blueberries etc.

My Vitamix is the one kitchen tool the gets used everyday as it's helped me to loose 20 pounds. There are a lot of good smoothie recipes out there, but check out the "Blender Lady" site. She has a lot of good information there. Specifically check out her post on the "5 Magic vegetables" (Veggies that you can add to your smoothie without imparting the veggie taste) http://blenderlady.com/vitamix-lady/   My go to morning blend:   3 Strawberries   1/2 Banana   Small handful of raspberries and or blueberries. (Don't go crazy with the raspberries as your blend will get seedy.)   A couple small slices of summer squash (Or one of the other "Magic Veggies")   1/2 scoop of whey protein powder   1 or 2 Tablespoon\s of flaxseed (Grinded)   2-3 Ice cubes   1/2 Glass of liquid (I use Diet v8 Splash as it adds a full serving of veggies)
