5 Good Things – October 7th, 2017

October 7, 2017 by: Lenny Gale

Carrot Cake Balls, Pumpkin Smoothie, Turmeric Latte, The Vitamix E310, and More!

Hi! Here’s what’s new, exciting, and thought provoking from our Life is NOYOKE world.

(This is the abbreviated online version of our weekly email newsletter, 5 Good Things. To get the full version delivered to your inbox on Saturdays, you can subscribe right here.)

1. New blog posts, site updates, and other things we’re proud to be sharing

Good morning from Minneapolis!

Want to see all the things we made in August (but didn’t necessarily share here in the newsletter)? Okay!

Check out our Vitamix Usage Report for August 2017.

Want to see what we did this week? Okay!

See below. 🙂

Enjoy!

2. New recipes we’re enjoying

Turmeric latte. We made this for an Instagram takeover we did on the @vitamix account. Did you know you can make this hot, nutrient-packed, caffeine-free drink in your Vitamix? Did you know you don’t need to peel the turmeric?

+ Carrot cake bites. Easy to make, delicious, and filling!

3. Classic recipes we’re re-showcasing

Pumpkin smoothie. My mother made this 21 days in a row a couple years ago.

Pumpkin smoothie with a orange straw.

+ Cauliflower fried rice. Because an old friend proudly emailed saying he made it in his new Vitamix and that vegetarian recipes like this helped him lose 15 pounds before his wedding.

4. Vitamix deals, news, and updates we’re enjoying

This week, the new Vitamix Explorian Series E310 (review) became available. Here’s a picture of it with a Carolyne’s Green.

And here’s a fun little video of Shalva unboxing it.

+ ?? USA shoppers: Few really good deals for right now on CR Vitamix Models:

Exclusive: $399 for a Pro 750

Exclusive: $399 for a 780

All Ascent Series qualify for instant $20 off at checkout via our links to Ascent at vitamix.com

+ ?? Canada shoppers: $50 off S-Series

All Ascent Series qualify for instant $20 off at checkout via our links to Ascent at vitamix.ca.

+ ?? UK shoppers: £299 for a Certified Reconditioned Standard

Finally, and this is kind of a big deal, there’s been a big change with how our readers (you!) support us. Before, people would manually enter our Vitamix promo code into the box at checkout. But now, you must click our → link to vitamix.com just before checkout. That way, Vitamix knows we sent you. If it worked, you’ll see 06-NOYOKE appear. Same benefits to you (free shipping, $20 off Ascent, starter kit, etc.), just a different process. Here’s a fun little explainer video we made.

Thank you from the Life is NOYOKE family Lenny, Shalva and Lucy.
SUPPORT = 💚

Life is NOYOKE takes us hundreds of hours every month to create and maintain.

5. Articles, posts, and products from around the web we’re thinking about

Honesty and forthrightness has long been my policy. It’s makes for an easier, better life. Now, apparently, it will keep you out of being forced to work in chicken plants. Here’s an article that gives you a sense of how despicable the factory farming industry is (without ever detailing the life-long suffering of the animals): “They thought they were going to rehab. They ended up in chicken plants.”

Oh! And from the department of news you may want to feel cynical about but shouldn’t: McDonald’s Goes Vegan (sort of). Here’s the scoop on the McVegan Burger.

Okay, all for now.

Thanks and good things,
Shalva and Lenny

P.S. This was a photo from our Instagram story takeover we did on the @Vitamix account this week. So fun!
