vita-mix 5200 blender

[v-12]

Anyone else have a vita-mix (or equivalent) blender? After having (and burning up) quite a few cheap blenders over the last few years, we decided to upgrade after seeing an in-store demo and are very happy in our few weeks of owning it. We've mostly been modifying recipes out of the recipe book so far, anybody have any favorite recipes to share?

*edit:no affiliation with company/product, just looking for original recipe ideas.....

We love ours. Had it for about two years now. We make lots of soup in it, ice cream too. I don't have any particular recipes to share though. You could try throwing a bunch of things you like in there with some broth and making soup. That's what I do with the soups we make.

I've had one of thes for years. Crushes ice like Metallica crushes low F.
