Sure, the adored KitchenAid stand mixer takes up 90% of your counter space, but make room — Vitamix’s blenders are a splurge, yet a staple. As the meal prep powerhouse of the twenty-first century, Vitamix offers precision, convenience and a whole new take on making smoothies. Its high-powered design can even grind coffee beans and transform peanuts into your homemade version of Jif or Skippy.
What’s more, the average $450 blender is nearly 50% off, thanks to today’s Amazon Prime Day 2021 shopping event. Why splurge? Besides the hefty discount, Vitamix’s high-speed blades are speedy enough to create friction heat, so you can blend ingredients into hot soup in six minutes. Plus, it will liquefy anything — saving you precious time in the kitchen.
“You can do things you just can’t do in an average blender,” Desiree Nielsen, RD, a Vancouver-based nutritionist and author of the bestselling cookbook, “Eat More Plants,” told The Post. “You can make nut butter and turn cashews into cream, so you can turn very dense foods into very smooth and creamy soups or sauces. You don’t get that same effect from a food processor or standard blender.”
Nielsen dished all about her go-to blender recipes, how a Vitamix can help aid in healthy habits and why she swears by Vitamix using her Ascent Series A3300 model for about 12 years.
- Dimensions: 11 x 8 x 17 inches
As one of the sleekest Vitamix options on the market, the Ascent Series A3300 has touch screen controls and a built-in programmable timer to avoid over- or under-processing your blendable creations. It’s well-equipped for your baby foods, frozen desserts, hot soups and more.
- Dimensions: 8.75 x 7.25 x 20.5 inches
The Vitamix 5200 Blender is a standout appliance, notably for its 64-ounce container large enough to fit a rainbow of fresh produce for a smoothie. It’s self-cleaning, speedy and features a specially designed tamper to help process chunkier toss-ins.
Plus, it’s the best Vitamix sale this Prime Day at a 49% discount.

Not a blender per se, but the Vitamix FoodCycler is a forceful food fertilizer to cut down food scraps — and therefore, reduce waste — in a matter of hours. It’s odorless, speedy and simple, so it’s super convenient and compact for everyday use.
A registered dietitian’s guide to meal prepping with a Vitamix
Specializing in plant-based nutrition, digestive health and chronic inflammation, Desiree Nielsen, RD is a greens-loving expert who’s all about saving time in the kitchen, with Vitamix being the MVP.
How can a Vitamix save time in the kitchen?
You don’t have to be a world-class chef to make healthy meals, according to Nielsen. “A blender makes a lot of five- and 10-minute recipes possible, so if you want to get all of those healthy whole foods in but don’t want to spend a lot of time chopping or cooking, it collapses that timeline for you and it makes it easy to eat healthy,” she explained.
Nielsen loves her Vitamix for making energy bars, her five-minute vegan cashew cream alfredo sauce and her glorious greens soup in a pinch, in particular. Since the soup recipe requires some cooking, she advises halving the garlic and onion and blend away.
How can a Vitamix aid in healthy habits?
Healthy meals aside, it’s equally as important to have your Vitamix in a smart place.
“Keep it on the counter where you see it and will use it, particularly if you’re running around saying, ‘Ahhh, I don’t know what to eat,’” Nielsen said. “You can say, ‘Oh, I can just make a smoothie,’ or ‘oh, I can just pop all these veggies in the blender and make a soup.’ It will remind you how easy it is to make something healthy, as opposed to just calling for takeout, which many of us are pretty used to doing.”
What’s your go-to Vitamix smoothie recipe?
For a gentle sweetness, Nielsen adores her turmeric ginger smoothie with greens, geared toward “people who don’t think they like green smoothies.” For a different variation, she recommends trying out her turmeric, ginger, and mango smoothie in a Vitamix.

What’s more, you can throw in the orange whole — peel included — thanks to Vitamix’s high-performance blades. A smoothie is a healthy way to up your count on vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds before walking out the door in the morning, Nielsen adds.
Is there a warranty on Vitamix blenders?
“When so many things feel like they’re not made to last — like my toaster that I have to keep buying every two years — a high-speed blender, like Vitamix, is typically backed by a good warranty and is built to last,” Nielsen said. Assuringly, Vitamix offers a 10-year warranty for manufacturing defects or wear and tear over time, should you experience any.
How do you clean your Vitamix?
Nielsen recommends rinsing the jug, especially if your model doesn’t automatically clean. It will save you much scrubbing time later.
“My blender has a wash setting where you put a couple of drops of soap in it, plus water, and turn it on for 30 seconds and it does the washing for you, which is awesome,” Nielsen adds.
