I might have been one of the first. But I’m proud to say that in 2016, there are several awesome Vitamix blogs out there.
Big or small, I love them all.
Because anyone dedicated to accelerating our adoption of a plant-based, whole food focused diet (especially with the help of a Vitamix) deserves some recognition.
Not all of the following blogs are exclusive to Vitamix (or even Vitamix-focused). But all of them are Vitamix friendly; great resources for Vitamix owners new and old.
Inside these Vitamix blogs, you’ll find vegan pioneers, YouTube personalities, lifestyle influencers, and more. A wide range.
What do they have in common? Easy and healthy Vitamix recipes, of course!
Without further ado, here are the best Vitamix blogs of 2016.
Blending with Henry
Henry’s best stuff is on his youtube channel. Lots of cool recipes and lots of noteworthy blender reviews (usually featuring two blenders for comparison). Henry’s infectious enthusiasm comes through loud and clear in his work. Check him out at Blending with Henry today!
Healthy Happy Life
Kathy’s vegan recipes and lifestyle blog has a lot going for it. First, her food photography is stunning but still realistic. Secondly, her writing. She pours her heart and soul into her stories leaving you with feelings few other bloggers can elicit. Check her out at Healthy Happy Life today!
Blender Babes
Tarashaun’s blog’s focus is blenders. Vitamix, Blendtec, Nutribullet — she doesn’t descriminate. Her site is loaded with valuable resources including several videos with high production value (like this one we made together).

Elana’s Pantry
Elana, the NY Times best-selling author, has a blog loaded with paleo-friendly recipes. She tells her story of being diagnosed with MS and changing her diet to treat it. She’s got an aesthetically pleasing site that’s great for Vitamix fans. Check out her blog at Elana’s Pantry today!
The Blender Girl
Tess’s blog is a thing of beauty. It seems like it has a new design every time I visit. It’s loaded with simple and healthy blender recipes, most of which do not require a high-powered blender like a Vitamix. Check her out at The Blender Girl today!
The Healthy Family and Home
Karielyn’s blog is all about clean eating. Tons of articles, recipes and resources. But, her blog also has a Vitamix-specific recipe index. So helpful. Check her blog out at The Healthy Family and Home today!
Incredible Smoothies
Tracy’s smoothie-focused blog is totally Vitamix friendly. She’s accumulated an incredible library of green smoothies. And of course, she has a great story to backup her claims. A useful site for any Vitamix owner. Check her out at Incredible Smoothies today!

Alexis and her blog have a lot going for it. Terrific recipes and photos with lots of personality. Plus the advice isn’t just some blogger — Alexis has like seven letters in her professional title as a registered dietitian. Check her out at Hummusapien today!

Jodi McKenna
Jodi’s site is the salt of the earth. She blogs about fermentation, whole foods, homeschooling, essential oils, home-birthing (yup!), and gardening. What makes her site a Vitamix blog is her feature called 31 days of using a Vitamix. Lots of good recipes to try. Check her out at Jodi McKenna today!

DON”T BUY VITAMIX!!! RIPOFF COMPANY Bought new Vitamix for $600 a couple of years ago. Sent with a defective part and have been trying ever since to get it repaired. Have not been able to use it yet!! Worthless Warranty. Even after Class Action suit that they lost, they still refuse to send the part. The want me to spend a couple hundred dollars to repair they’re defective parts. REALLY??? Have been flat out lied to many, many times. Terrible Company, liars, cheats and thieves. Even went to the Judge in the case to get them to do something, their Vitamix head lawyer called and said it would be taken care of immediately. The guy he turned me onto said he would send it right out, that was over a year ago. Won’t answer phone calls. BUYER BEWARE – RIPOFF COMPANY!!!
