Quick “who are we” if you’re new here (or have been here for a while and could use an update about what we actually do).
We’re Shalva and Lenny Gale, and the best way to describe what we do is this:
We’re a mom-and-pop blender shop.
Except we don’t have a storefront.
We do YouTube and Instagram and blog and sell the Vitamix machine as affiliate partners. People use our links to buy direct from the manufacturer and we get credit for the referral.
We like the flexibility and ability to mesh our lifestyle with our work.
So yeah…
The mom and pop blender shop.
Or, mom and pop Vitamix shop, since you’re familiar with the Vitamix machine.
As always, we appreciate you supporting our work.
Here’s to a happy and healthy 2019.

1. Byerly’s (vegan) Creamy Wild Rice Soup
It’s by far our most popular recipe. Perfect for these frigid days.
Make it!
2. A really good smoothie
It was basically a pb&j smoothie with banana but for some reason it was really good this week. Here’s the tweet:
Really good smoothie this morning:
Almond milk
Frozen blueberries, strawberries, banana
Chia seeds
