Gail- you made homemade bug spray in your Vitamix? I would LOVE to get that recipe I live in So FL and the mosquito’s are just terrible. I buy the all natural bug repellent, but it would be cool to make some homemade stuff!

Cheers,
Holly

I use my Vitamix every day! I love it. I bought mine back in 95 and it still is as good as new!
I make Green Smoothies, juices, pesto, salad dressings; stuff for the compost pile and even last weekend I made homemade bug spray for the garden!
It’s the best purchase I ever made!

I too have a Vitamix and LOVE the sailorman shake as well. It’s my favorite! I’m just making the smoothies right now, but I can’t wait to try out some of the soups and sauces!

I also have a vitamix and it is AWESOME. Just about everyday I make one of the recipes they gave called the Sailorman. If you havent tried it yet, give it a shot.

1/2 cup of grapes (green or red)
1/3 cup of plain or vanilla yogurt
1 cup of spinach
1/2 of an apple
1/2 of banana
1/3 cup of pineapple
1 cup of ice

If you want to make it less sugar you can eliminate either the banana or the pineapple.

Let me know what you think…
