Peppermint Frappaccino Recipe with Vitamix 7500

Share Button

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.

Peppermint Frappaccino Recipe

My daughter is in the college, so it cost a lot. But, I promise, one day, she will have her Vitamix. She is so discipline with her smoothie every morning I wish we will win this one.

    I would use this Vitamix on a daily basis. I’m a vegan and my daughter too. She’s asking me for a Vitamix since a while. I really want to buy one but they are a bit pricy but I know the Vitamix worth every penny (my lucky friend receive one from her mom). We always make some smoothies in the morning, for lunch, for supper… We have 2 teenagers who are working, going to school, to the gym, to their boyfriend house, I mean life is so busy and crazy happy! I just want to make sure, even when they are on the go they eat well. So tanks for the chance and continue to inspire us.

    I’d use it for smoothies and soups. I hear you can cook your soups in them. Love to try that.

    I have looked at the Vitamix every single time I have been to Costco. It is an amazing machine! The recipe looks amazing……anything peppermint is delicious!

    I’d use the Vitamix to make soup, Pina coladas, and ice cream from bananas
