Two (Amazing!) Smoothie Recipes for Your Vitamix

Hello, foodies…


I’ve owned a Vitamix (K41120) for some time and I just love it. I use it to make soup, purees, ice cream—everything that we do on In the Kitchen with David because it's so easy. But I tend to make two recipes in the Vitamix more than any other, my Chocolate Banana Breakfast Smoothie and my Lean, Mean, Green Smoothie. You can find both recipes on “David’s Recipes” page on QVC.com. We just hit the 400 recipe mark—and so many of the dishes there can be made in your Vitamix!


Chocolate Banana Breakfast Smoothie


Chocolate Banana Breakfast Smoothie


We created this recipe last September for Back to School Month because I know how hard it is for kids—and adults—to find time to eat breakfast. Yes, “chocolate” is the first word in this smoothie, but the point is to get everyone to eat, isn’t it?! Plus, we’ve upped the nutrition ante with oat milk, protein powder, almond butter, and low-fat granola.

And this recipe was just unveiled earlier this month! There aren’t a lot of people out there who love green foods, but recipes like this prove you can get your greens and LIKE how they taste. This recipe makes seven cups of smoothie—more than enough to feed your whole family!


Keep it flavorful!
