Beyond Burgers, Olive Tapenade, Cashew Milk, and More!
Hi! Here’s what’s new, exciting, and thought provoking from our Life is NOYOKE world.

1. New blog posts, site updates, and other things we’re proud to be sharing
Good morning from Minneapolis!
Quick story from earlier this week:
I was getting my computer looked at, and the Genius helping me told me she had a Vitamix but never used it. She asked, “If you had to recommend just two things for me to make, what would they be?”
Such a good question.
My answer: Get the hang of blended green juice. And make yourself some queso.
So there it is. Probably should be the basis for an update to our welcome email for new Vitamix owners. (Or the idea behind a 14-day challenge?)
But it’s that simple. Green juice and queso.
Okay, let’s get to the links.

2. New recipes we’re enjoying
We made cashew milk for the first time and it’s really tasty. No filtration bag necessary. Great as-is, in coffee, or with cereal.
+ We made olive tapenade. An easy, recipe-hardly-even-required recipe. Great if you need an easy appetizer.
3. Classic recipes we’re re-showcasing
The other night, we made a giant batch of this simple protein shake (with a side of popcorn) for a too-tired-to-do-anything-but-need-nourishing-and-delicious-but-not-pasta dinner: A simple protein shake with Vega
4. Vitamix news and updates we’re enjoying
We did a Facebook Live talking through the exclusive Pro 750 deal. You can watch the replay here.
If you’d rather read, here’s the scoop: You can get one of these for $399.95 (black or red; +$30 for Brushed Stainless). They’re branded as Certified Reconditioned, but we’re 99% sure they’re brand new, untouched, mint machines. My guess is that the only reason they are not priced at $599.95 is because they sat in a William & Sonoma warehouse and were returned to Vitamix HQ to make room for Ascent. Get one while you can.

P.S. Pic below was from a packing break the other week; my first Beyond Burger! So, so good.
5 Vitamix FYIs
1) USA friends: Exclusive deal alert on the Pro 750. You can get one of these for $399.95 (black or red; +$30 for Brushed Stainless). They’re branded as Certified Reconditioned, but I’m 99% sure they’re brand new, untouched, mint machines. My guess is that the only reason they are not priced at $599.95 is because they sat in a William & Sonoma warehouse and were returned to Vitamix HQ to make room for Ascent. Get one while you can. Based on my experience (and confirmation from our Vitamix people), these fly off the shelves whenever they become available.
2) Canada friends: Now (while supplies last), you can save C$80 on the Certified Reconditioned 5300. (Total steal!)
3) North American Ascent Series Shoppers: Get a $20 instant discount on all Ascent Series Vitamix (our full rundown) with our → link to vitamix.com.
4) Ascent owners: The 48-oz (1.4L) containers for Ascent are finally available in both WET and DRY versions. (Also, the 8-ounce (review and demo video!) and 20-ounce containers (our full rundown) are available, too!)
5) Now through forever: (Starter Kit 1) Get a New Vitamix Owner Starter Kit with the purchase of any Vitamix through Life is NOYOKE. It’s a quick-start recipe cheatsheet, ebook, $20 coupon to LINY “U”, and Lifetime Priority Support as a thank you gift for buying through us. Read More »»
