The Christmas season is upon us and I’m sure you all know by now that I LOVE making up delicious drink recipes for my guests. Today I have a Peppermint Frappaccino Recipe which I just know you’ll enjoy.
This drink is my daughter’s favourite and when I was given a chance to review the Vitamix 7500, I knew I had to give it a try at home.
The Vitamix 7500 has been on my radar as a machine I’d like to try because of the power it packs. With its 2.2hp base ALL of my ingredients are blended…nothing is left behind! It fits nicely under your kitchen cupboards even though you have a massive 64 ounce container to use.
With 10 variable speed and a pulse control, you can achieve any texture from a fine puree to a chunky soup. There’s even a steaming feature which allows you to blend AND heat your soups!
I’m a long way from mastering my Vitamix 7500 but after using it for a bit, I can honestly say this is a cut above the rest. The quality is high, it’s fast and super easy to clean.
There seems to be no end to what this baby can do…from frozen desserts to nut butters, it can do it all.
