New Accessory for the Kitchen

 Our VitaMix is such a blessing. I use it all the time.  Sometimes I don't want to make as much as fits in the 64-ounce container.  A couple of weeks ago there was a good sale on 48-ounce containers.  I had enough in my account to buy it, so I did.  (I did not pay any attention at all to the point that I would be able to buy anything else for a good long time...). It came it three days.  Sadly, it was the wrong container. Oh!!

After a few days I was finally able to make contact with an actual person at VitaMix who said she would fix the problem.  A week and a half later the correct container arrived.

This was the first thing I made in it: a beverage using all the fruit in the refrigerator that was on its last legs.

Into the container I put:

2 small somewhat dried up navel oranges, peeled
1 large navel orange, peeled
1 smallish apple, cored but skin left on
One-half cup fresh blueberries that were mostly dried blueberries
1 frozen banana
1 cup of water
2 cups ice cubes

After processing for about one minute, I served a glass to Dear One and one to myself. It was pretty good!  I love the new container! Tomorrow I am going to make almond milk in it.  I am thinking of leaving the almond pulp in the almond milk...not sure, but I don't really want to strain it, but I DEFINITELY don't want to throw it out.
