Yes I used to love eggs, Cashew Cream Cheese, Peach Buzz Sorbet, Louisiana Gumbo, 48 oz Ascent containers, 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 from Minneapolis!
A few incredible new things to make this week. But first, another quick little vid for ya: Yes, I used to love eggs.
Okay, onto the recipes!
2. New recipes we’re enjoying
Cashew cream cheese (plus vegan lox!). It tasted as good as it looked. Nothing like what it really is. Thrilled to have this killer combo back in our lives.
+ Peach Buzz Sorbet. Peaches and champagne. Get after it.
3. Classic recipes we’re re-showcasing
Louisiana gumbo. Totally revamped. Paula Dean would be proud. (Or the opposite? This recipe is butter and cruelty free.)
4. Vitamix news and updates we’re enjoying
The 48-ounce (1.4L) Ascent containers, are finally available. They’re narrow-bodied and unlike the 8 and 20 oz containers, the 48’s have a removable lid plug and tamper for traditional, yet smaller-batch tasks. We’re really excited about these! We have both the wet and dry versions on the way. But if you’re going with just one, we recommend the wet. (Note: Being without a smaller, secondary, narrow-bodied container for our Ascent is the only reason we’ve kept our Legacy Pro 750 around. We had a 32 oz container for it, which served the same purpose as a 48; smaller batches of nut butters, ice creams, etc. Below may be one of the last times we use the good ‘ol 32, a size they’re not making for the Ascent.)
+ Still, through 9/10/17, save $70 on Ascent Series and $120 on the CR Pro 750 and CR 780. More details in our Labor Day Sale post.
+ Here’s the new YouTube vid for those planning to get a Vitamix at some point: Where to get your Vitamix. (Summary: We’d love if you bought through us with promo code 06-007938, but totally get it if something makes more sense for you. We just want you to get one and use it like we do!)
Life is NOYOKE is our vegan Vitamix recipes, basically. When you use links from our site to vitamix.com or vitamix.ca and enter our promotion code 06-007938, we get credit for purchases and earn a small commission. That helps support our mission of accelerating worldwide adoption of a plant-based diet and is greatly appreciated. Thank you. — Shalva and Lenny Gale
5. Articles, posts, and products from around the web we’re thinking about
I’ve received grief about this in the past. But whenever possible, I prefer to use (and drink, obviously) filtered water. It tastes better! Maybe this is why: Plastic fibres found in tap water around the world, study reveals.
Okay, all for now.
Thanks and good things,
Shalva and Lenny
P.S. We’ll be at TC Veg Fest today (dressed more casually than the pic below). Say hi if you see us!
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 links to vitamix.com and vitamix.ca.
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 »»
