i know I am quite off topic but do anybody know of a good place to stream new tv shows online ?

[@nikolasbrendan7928]

@Jameson Emory lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)

[@Sharkey94123]

You two are too cute! My daughter bought me one of these for Xmas last year and I've mostly been using it to weigh my coffee beans in the morning. I just started using it for other things and I'm starting to appreciate it more each time I use it. What I really appreciate it for is measuring messy ingredients like almond butter, maple syrup, olive oil and things like that. Now I don't have half a dozen measuring cups and spoons to clean when I'm done making something. And I can add all of my own recipes and have them all in one place. I'm going to be using this a lot more!

[@michaelragan8603]

AS an FYI!!! The banana skin can be included in the smoothie. It is just good fiber and will not hurt you in any way. Just cut on the top handle (Stem) and the very bottom. The vitamix will blend it in to the point you will never know it is there but you will have some really good fiber in your smoothie!!!!

[@LINY]

First time I've heard this recommendation. And I thought I'd heard them all. :)

[@CutieRingoJoy]

Nice

[@Sharkey94123]

I've done that and you're right, I didn't notice any difference. I only do it with organic and I wash the skin well before I toss it in. At the very least, I scrape the inside of the skin with the side of a spoon and use that.

[@snowrobertson1662]

Great video! I’m just starting with Vitamix and purchased the A3500 with the scale. Your videos are helping so much! Thank You!

Just bought my scale today and made strawberry ice cream, was yummy! Just a note on your video, you need to make sure when you’re adding ingredients that you wait until screen shows red with a check mark before you go on to adding next ingredient, not just when you hear ding sound. Once it shows red for that ingredient, then it automatically moves up to next ingredient.

[@LINY]

good feedback for the community -- thank you

[@apuz13]

Great video awesome product. I have one question. Will the scale also work as a normal kitchen scale if you do not want to use the Bluetooth connected app?

[@Makeitperfectly]

Yes, it can be used as a normal kitchen scale. In fact it can measure up to 13lbs/6kg with 0.1g accuracy, making it the best performing consumer kitchen scale in the market.

[@KenAdams426]

Just ordered mine. 8-10 days it will be in. woohoo.

[@siripongtessalee4409]

Thanks for the honest unedited mistakes!! LOL... This makes it so entertained!!

[@ilovephotography1254]

I know that this scale has been discontinued. Are there any rumors of a replacement in the future?

[@Veronica-nq9kr]

Yes! A chia pet reference!😅 I think your video was awesome. I've had the scale for a few years, and never really tried to use it much. You straightened out a lot of things for me. I'm going to go get my scale out and start using it today!

[@astrochakrasynergysystem1480]

6 years ago and we still don’t have this in Australia! Why do we miss out here?

[@teresapacelli-dill825]

You can just "zero" it out if you accidently leave the lid on :) you don't have to start over. Nicely done!

[@user-qr4ey3xv4j]

Great video presentation. Showed all the features great. And honestly was to see a mistake happen and show you can fix it easy, if its a solid ingredient. Lol.

[@bettystroh6504]

Does this perfect blend system feed in to Noom or Fitbit? I’m definitely interested in using this for tracking macros

[@Rooster7529]

i getting one of these great video guys !!

[@MireyaMerritt8]

Loved the video. Do you have any videos showing how to create a recipe on the app?

[@LINY]

actually working on one to be released soon! thanks!

[@gloriouslyraw3001]

My problem with most of vitamix's recipes are they include dairy.....and as a vegan, that makes it difficult sometimes.

[@paulalinn3066]

substitue nut milks

[@Sharkey94123]

In the Perfect Blend app you can go into any recipe and make your own copy, make whatever substitutions you want and name it whatever you want. Then go into Profile, then Diet and choose dietary preferences. They even have vegan!

[@gerdahalliday5113]

The scale is no longer available. Can you use another scale?

[@sli8462]

She's glowing!

[@debbicowan2728]

If you had been able to face the scale I'm sure you would have gotten the exact measurement for the bananas. Doesn't the scale have a running timer that tells you how long the item is supposed to blend? Go back and look at the owner's manual cause I'm pretty it does

[@carlosf9659]

I thought the perfect blend automatically adjust the speed and time of the blend. According to the video you decided how long to run it. Are you supposed to ask the perfect blend to determine the time and speed?

[@LINY]

With an Ascent machine, the app will send a program to the blender. What you're seeing is on a Classic machine

[@cybrarian9]

Hello Lifeisnoyoke folks, didn't I hear you folks say in a later video that you don't use the scale as much now towards 2020 than you did in 2016? Please update this video for your current review.

[@LINY]

Yeah and that might be cause we have little children in the house now? :)

[@cybrarian9]

@@LINY, not being a parent (that I know of ;-) ), I can't speak to what it's like to being one. However, having had 2 excellent parents, I used to kid my Mom when I was in my early 20's when she'd complain about her 4 boys and say "Well, that's what you get for fooling around with boys!" And then I'd run out of reach. Of course, she knew I was teasing. I suppose it's a little late to send yours back to the "Cabbage Patch" for a full refund, and I don't suppose you'd ever want to either. :-) Kids do often get in the way of "the best laid plans of mice and men," but I suppose that's their function. Please let me know how the kids changed your use of (or uses of) that scale and whether you still consider it a worthwhile addition to a Vitamix owner's home (with and without kids, pets, or older parents at home). Perhaps an updated video is in order.

[@lawlini1979]

Lenny, is it battery operated? They do not supply it in the uk. So, I'm going to import it. Love your channel. Keep up the good work. Both of you. Great stuff 👍👍👍 thanks

Thanks Luke! It's battery operated and only compatible with US machines. I would probably cancel if you already ordered :(

All you have to do to convert the recipe is divide the new yield by the old yield to get your conversion factor. Then you take the Conversion factor and times each ingredient by it to get your new yields. Super simple

[@usagemall]

Awesome!

[@GmailUnited]

there is an exclamation mark when she doesn't add the banana fully and begins adding the blueberry, did the app know???

[@drnycmedia]

Richard Lannister It probably detected the gap in what the weight should be and what it was 😊😊😊

[@darkflame808]

The exclamation appeared because it was warning her. She was at 80% and dropped the last piece of banana in. The weight of the banana falling made the scale think she had enough banana. It dinged to say move on to blueberries but the scale realized the banana wasn't as heavy due to her dropping it in it went back to yellow. So she didn't meet the requirement of bananas. When she poured in the blueberries it was still expecting bananas so the scale thought she added too much bananas hence the exclamation point. When you see the exclamation point it means you "overpoured". When this happens you have three options (remove the ingredient to get the right balance (possible with solids), accept the ingredient and move on without fixing the recipe (for times you just want more of one ingredient in your dish) or you can hit recalculate and it will tell you to add a touch more of all the other ingredients you previously added to balance the recipe and then the app will recalculate the future ingredients so that your recipe still comes out perfect (aside from an additional half serving or a few extra calories). It's a very smart app! If you are adding big chunks though just be sure to look at the screen to see what it's asking before moving on even if you hear the ding cause sometimes the ding is from gravity adding weight to whatever you drop in it. Give it a half second to catch up :)

[@budharpey]

interesting concept but it seems to be not so practical after all... especially after watching this i think learning by doing is still the much more efficient way when it comes to blending smoothies. It seems just stupid to click on an ipad for minutes and possibly make errors like it has happened in the video. a smoothie seldomly takes me longer to make than 2 minutes. a tablet and a bluetooth connected scale would only make it more work than nessecary for me

[@olivtrees8749]

I have this scale and app and will probably return it for this reason. The instructions are not clear either. Even though I change the servings like she shows here, the app still ignores it and makes a 40 oz smoothie anyway. Even though it's saved as a 20 oz recipe.

[@BlenderBabes]

Awesome guys!! Good to see you both! xo

[@marthaberry7634]

Does this scale pair with Weight Watchers app?

[@LINY]

It may!

[@haylspa]

you should look up keto diet, it actually works and you don't have to worry about calories!!

[@LINY]

Yeah, it works on the outside. We've found that plant-based has the same effect but also helps you on the inside. We don't worry about calories either. lifeisnoyoke.com/veganize/

[@joetigani4545]

Can you explain what is the difference between the Vitamix Perfect Blend Smart Scale and Recipe App and the Perfect Blend PRO Smart Scale + App? I am located in Canada and the Vitamix scale is hard to find and considerably more money. Not available on the Vitamix Canada site but is on Amazon. Both can be found on Amazon but big price difference? Any thoughts or insights?

[@LINY]

The Perfect Blend Pro is an older model (2010) made by a different manufacturer. Now, they've merged into the "Vitamix Perfect Blend App". The newer one is from 2017. They both will work!

[@vanessaperez7926]

Did they take off the recipe I can’t find it :(

[@deborahrees9929]

How to add a new ingredient to the pantry?

[@lf2334]

Can this app take inventory of what you have in stock? In other words, can I tell the app exactly what's in my fridge/pantry so that it only shows me the recipes I can make based on what I have on hand? I've heard the cocktail app can do that.

[@LINY]

I think so yeah

What's up with the 2.5 star rating for this app in the Google play store? Seems like it has issues with android devices from most of the reviews. I really want to get this but not unless they start updating the app.

[@LINY]

It deserves 3 stars, but not much more. The poor ratings, though, don't take away from the problem the scale and app solve, imo.

[@briansaul]

Now have Samsung allow me to load this app on my 31" refrigerator screen. Bluetooth to the scale and bluetooth to my Vitamix. Then I dont need to use my Ipad..

[@LINY]

sounds incredible potentially

[@thomas4315]

You know think about buying the scale, but don’t want the scale to be worthless as I allway are missing a ingredient. So because it oz added. It’s will not know what added. Right? So if I dont have it I can substitute the same oz. and then I can move to the next ingredients right? Iam thinking similar will taste with the drink. Should work that way right?

[@LINY]

should!

[@teccec]

Just made my first recipe today. I don't recall the name, think it was Very Berry Smoothie or something like that, it was one of the suggested recipes for a protein shake. I had the same thing happen with the banana where it'd wanted just a bit more. I simply clicked on the next ingredient on the app so it skipped the remaining banana it was waiting for - that told it I wasn't going to add anymore. It was fine with that. You have the option to edit which ingredients you use, but if you run out of something the recipe calls for and don't have anything to replace it with, I think you should tell the app you are skipping that item so it won't be measuring the weight of whatever you put in next as that (missing) item. I hadn't known the app would integrate to the scale as well as it did. My first item had said 13.9oz of milk (or something like that), which it helpfully described as "about" 1.5 cups. Being my first recipe, I thought that was an odd and vague direction, but I looked up how much 13.9oz was in cups and was told 1.613, so I then grabbed a measuring cup and filled it to just above 1.5 cups... When I then poured it into the 64oz mixer I noticed the app was monitoring in real time and it had me stop adding the milk I'd measured, with maybe a tablespoon or so left in the measuring cup. Having learned my lesson, I stopped measuring any of the remaining items and just relied on the app. Result was an excellent protein shake - tasted great. Highly recommend the scale if you can use it with the app. This was only my first use, but I can definitely see me going much faster on future attempts since I won't have to measure items myself. Again, any items you don't have and can't mimic by substituting something else that weighs the same, just click the next item on the app to let it know you are declining to add whatever it is it'd asked for.

[@Makeitperfectly]

Hi pinktulip. Just a clarification. It's just a recipe, so you can choose to add one banana and move onto the next ingredient. Perfect Blend will adjust the calorie count accordingly, as it calculates the calories by weight of what's been added to the jar.

[@BadlyBentPub]

Wait - if you only used half a banana in the recipe you'd just THROWN the other half away? Why wouldn't you just freeze it for later use, or just eat half a banana?
