I bought it for him...really I did! [View all]

It's a birthday/father's day combo and since he's been making smoothies for years and destroying blenders in his path...I got him a Vitamix, commercial grade. The salesperson said it would be hard for him to ruin it.

He's gone crazy with it! He read the book like he was studying for a final exam or something.

I couldn't wait for the coffee drinks so I have experimented with something between a soft serve ice cream and a frappuccino. My favorite is skim milk, stevia, ice and instant espresso. ZING! I tried one with some really dark, dark chocolate but it was too icy and left bits of the chocolate. It tasted good, though.

I wish I had done this sooner!
