A Speedy Crash Course on Vitamix
We’ve all seen the movie before. It usually stars Keanu Reeves and involves some sort of chase scene with surfer-dude dialog. But why are we bringing up movies in a food blog?
Because Vitamix is the Keanu Reeves of foodservice equipment. Everyone thinks they’re used for just one kind of production, but in reality, they’re capable of so much more.
And while we cannot speak to what Keanu Reeves is or is not capable of as an actor, we do know that Vitamix has been type casted as the role of the smoothie maker. In reality, it’s much more versatile.
Here are some things you can do with a Vitamix:
You see, the Vitamix is much more than your morning smoothie (though it obviously has a reputation for being good at that, too). We used it in our Alto-Hartley showroom to make everything from healthier menu options to peanut butter. But which type of Vitamix is best for which applications?
