5 Good Things – July 29th, 2017

A story from the other night, two of the best things we’ve ever made (plus one really good one), 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

Good morning!

This is the last newsletter from Chicago for a bit.

Hawaii again? 🙂

Nope. We’re packing up and moving to our hometown — Minneapolis, MN. Both sets of parents live there and we figure it makes sense with baby Gale on the way.

Anyway, we have a fine slew of recipes for you. They’re all fabulous.

But just this one thing first.

Read: About last night’s hummus (an apology letter)

As always, thanks for reading and being a part of this.

Talk soon,
Lenny and Shalva

2. New recipe posts we’re drooling over

One of our favorite dips to date: Jalapeno Cilantro Hummus. (The story I encourage you to read from above is actually in this post. Read it.)

+ We’re calling this ice cream Bermuda Sorbet. It’s the best thing we’ve ever made.

3. Classic recipe we’re re-showcasing

A simple green smoothie with kale and without a clever name: Apple Banana Kale Smoothie.

4. Vitamix news and updates we’re enjoying

It’s been hugely popular. Here’s the the 780 deal for US shoppers.  Check out the Facebook live replay!

+ I added a some insider info on why this deal actually exists on our just updated 780 review page. Here’s a summary: Guys, exclusive deal alert on the 780. You can get one of these for $399.95. 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 $719.95 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. I’m being told price is going up on 8/1.

+ Planning to buy through us? Please use our → link to vitamix.com before you checkout and look for (06-NOYOKE) near the promotion code box to ensure we get credit. Thanks!

+ Because it was our maiden voyage with the 8-ounce containers (review), here’s Shalva about the whip up that jalapeno cilantro hummus from above.

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

An article Bessie can get excited about, from NYTimes: Vegan Ice Cream Enters the Golden Age

Okay, all for now.

Thanks and good things,
Shalva and Lenny
