5 Good Things – March 25th, 2017

Fluffy Pancakes, Coco-Lime Sorbet, Farewell to Hawaii, and More!

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

This is the online version of our weekly email newsletter, 5 Good Things. To get it 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

We published our February 2017 Vitamix Usage Report. (Inside: A ridiculously cute niece / nephew pic.)

+ This is the last 5 Good Things newsletter of Q1 2017. We’ll be back on April 15th with new recipes and some exciting news!

+ As we say farewell to Hawaii, here’s a YouTube vid looking back at our time in Honolulu.

2. New recipe posts we’re drooling over

Dear friends who don’t do bananas: Here’s a creamy, delicious, banana-free smoothie (that uses squash instead). We’re calling it the Sa-Squash.

+ A quick and refreshing dairy-free frozen dessert made with coconut and lime. It’s really dang good, and is appropriately named Coco Lime Sorbet.

3. Classic recipe we’re re-showcasing

Fabulous pancakes you can make in your Vitamix and (be proud to) serve the whole family. They’re vegan, hearty, but still deliciously fluffy. So, so good. A rebooted classic Oatmeal Pancakes (that may have been what sold Shalva on me).

4. Vitamix news and updates we’re enjoying

Canada friends: This is so crazy. You can still get Free Priority Shipping with our links to vitamix.ca and promo code. It’s an C$80 value, and I’m not sure when it’s going away. Could be tomorrow. Do take advantage. With questions about pricing, availability, etc. check out our page for Vitamix shoppers in Canada.

+ United States friends: The Smoothie Box offer! It ends March 31st! (This is your final reminder, as we’re on break next week.)

+ Looking for something to put in your modern kitchen? The A3500 is now available in Bright White!

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

Introducing the Tsimane, a native population in the Amazon. Through a combination of eating mostly plants, doing lots of walking, and maintaining a relatively healthy weight, they have the healthiest hearts in the world.

Okay, all for now.

Thanks and good things,
Lenny
