As a Vitamix expert myself... Essentially all smoothie bowls are are ice cream recipes in the Vitamix book... I mean that in terms of how to make them. Check out my Grape Ice Cream video and you will see what I mean. Also, I used to work for Vitamix as a demonstrator for about 8 years. Loved your video, btw. Just remember 3:1. 3 part frozen, 1 part non-frozen.

[@harrycecan9855]

I found your channel last week when I was looking up smoothie bowl recipes as I too just got a Vitamix. I came from a nutra bullet. OMG, what a pleasure it is to make my first ever smoothie bowl that was so thick that it wouldn't even fall off of an upside down spoon. And your recipe tips to include cauliflower is simply amazing and I'm grateful to be adding more vegetables to my smoothies thanks to you. So if anything, please show us more updated smoothie or smoothie bowls with items that add more vegetables that are friendly to those like me who want more veggies but don't like to drink greens please. I'd rather eat my greens raw too instead of cooked. Yes, I know I'm strange 😎 OH, and last night I made TVP burgers with an emulsified coconut fat mixture made in the Vitamix. I then froze the emulsified coconut mixture in molds to make bars. I then shredded the bars with a box grater so that I can mix it into the marinated TVP. The burgers came out great and all enjoyed it. We had a simple hot corn soup also made and cooked inside the Vitamix. Maybe you should show off how easy it is to also make some simple and easy soups for all of your subscribers? I would watch that for sure. Anyway, have a great day. I may be new here but I'm enjoying your style and love your latest smoothie video. 👍

I have a nutri bullet as well except I don't have a Vitamix. I was just wondering if you can actually make smoothie bowls without a Vitamix. Cause oh my gosh I really want to try one! 😊 #HarryCecan

[@harrycecan9855]

@@kluless1927 yes you can. But it's much harder and you have to shake it while it's running. So you must be very careful. But it can be done if determined

[@amandadelaleurs1256]

TIP- if u don’t have a good blender, use a meat beater stick thing. It is a stick and at the bottom it has like swirled lines.(sry if that doesn’t make sense) I love smoothie bowls, but my blender isn’t really good and I can’t buy a new one at the moment so last time I had one it had like blue berry skins in it and a few chunks of banana.

[@lamontcranston3621]

How long should you typically blend something? What's the maximum time limit you should use?

[@radboater]

If you're making a smoothie bowl or milkshake in a Vitamix about 90 seconds is all you need. if you're making a soup with whole potatoes in a Vitamix- you can blend it for ten whole minutes to end up with totally blended boiling hot soup. the blades heat the soup making it perfect to go from container to soup bowl for serving.

😢 for the thickness of what you are blending shouldn’t you have use the second flip up button after the first to get the highest speed so less strain on the motor? Sorry I couldn’t find the recipe you were talking about. I just saw a lot of advertising of things I don’t need to buy.
