7 Touchy-Feely Reasons for Buying your Vitamix Through Life is NOYOKE

1) Our “why” matters.

We both left our corporate jobs to promote a healthy lifestyle. When you’re eating better, everybody wins.

2) We rely on you.

We don’t need much. We’re minimalists and not fancy.

But make no mistake: We need you to buy your Vitamix through our site.

3) We put ourselves out there.

Have you seen any of our Instagram?

4) We’re charitable.

We give what we can every month to a variety of causes.

5) You can shop local!

We’re the mom and pop shop in your pocket.

6) It costs you nothing.

It’s rare that buying consciously is not more expensive.

7) It feels really good.

At least, that’s what we’re told.

And while there are many blender affiliates out there, we are the only ones who only do the Vitamix. And we’ve been doing this since 2012.

But you need to look out for your best interest. So here are the tangible benefits of getting your Vitamix through us.

FAQ

Yes. We feel grateful every day to be doing this work.

Hopefully! We don’t need much.

“Can I buy directly from you?”

You can buy directly through us by using our shopping links ?.

“Do you have a cookbook?”

“Are there other ways for me to support your work?”

Yes, here are a few.

“How did you get started with Vitamix?”

Lenny’s Vitamix story: I’d used egg white smoothies to lose weight and build muscle twice in my life. Once during high school for sports, and then again after college. During the latter transformation, I got my first Vitamix. It helped me step up my smoothie-making and culinary game, of course. But mostly, it made my healthy lifestyle stick. In 2011, when I was preparing to take the leap from Big Consulting and make health and wellness my work, I learned about an opportunity to join the Vitamix affiliate program.

Shalva’s story: Lenny left a Vitamix on my counter when we began dating. I put down my IO psychology career to work on Life is NOYKE full time in 2016.

“Who are you?”

We are DIY introverts who left the corporate world to find joy and purpose with our work.

“Are you vegans?”

I am, she is not. We keep a plant-based kitchen; no animal products at all. But we eat without rules or judgment outside the home.

“What does Life is NOYOKE mean?”

Pronounced no-yolk, noyoke was originally wordplay. Think egg whites. They’re often used by people early in their healthy lifestyle journey. “Egg white omelet, please!” It’s this idea of small steps in the right direction that remains the core ethos behind Life is NOYOKE. Today, we use the Vitamix as a means to that end.
