Question:

Do you have a favorite appliance to make non-dairy milks?

— Marsha Seidelman

Answer:

I have had my Vitamix for 14 years and, um, a Vitamix is a, is an investment. A couple of things about Vitamix. They have a wonderful refurb program where you can get a Vitamix with all the bells and the whistles and, um, it will be, uh, sort of like a heaven send for, uh, what you wanna make. I find I have tried other blenders and it seems that there's so much residue. So the high speed blender and blade of a Vitamix makes, in my opinion, the best, um, the best, uh, plant milks. So that's my commercial. You can go onto their website and some students have told me that, um, uh, BJ's and Costco sell them. Um, so you can go and, uh, investigate for yourself, but I use my Vitamix almost every day. So this morning I had to make, um, let's see, 128 ounces of smoothies to, um, give out for everybody to try today. And I think it would've taken me a lot longer. I didn't have to strain anything. And we had, um, red kale and peaches. So it made a really pretty reddish color, uh, because, you know, people eat with their eyes first and I thought rather than having to look at green, that that might, uh, be something fun to eat. So Marsha, uh, let us know what you, uh, decide to do. And I have been at places like HomeGoods where all of a sudden randomly you'll see a Vitamix for like a ridiculous ridiculously low price. So if that happens to you, that would be your lucky day to go buy a lottery ticket.
