Vitamix Philippines

If you follow me on Instagram, you have probably noticed a change slightly in my feed. I have been adding a lot more healthier posts for Nino by way of breakfast trays that I prepare for him on most mornings.

I say most mornings because, although I have been quite busy lately, I have been able to leave some instructions for the helpers to prepare breakfast when I am called out of the house early for work or Best Buddies activities.

The biggest change in our household diet was that I became much more consistent with our breakfasts. Starting with a smoothie bowl in the morning is a great way to get a ton of vitamins and nutrients in a way that’s fresh, fun, and easy to change up so it won’t get boring.

I know this guy loves it when I pay extra special attention to the meals that I serve him and our family. And since I promised all those years ago to always take care of him, this is just one of the many ways I can show him I care…by making sure we start our days in a healthier way.

Dare I say, that Nino had begun to enjoy and look forward to the different variations that I throw together with the help of my new Vitamix Blender.

Truth: I have wanted to add a Vitamix to my kitchen for years. I just felt it was never a justified investment.

First step in making healthier choices? Buy a new appliance for the kitchen, of course! ???????????? What color would you choose? Black or stainless? • • Look @thexpatdietitian! Momma’s got a new toy!!! • • #vitamixphilippines #homecooking #healthy #organic #holycarabao #kitchengoodness

That is, until I asked for the no obligation free home demonstration.

Another Truth: Even before I had the demonstration, I already knew I seriously had to consider this investment because our nutritionist, Bex Lwin had shared how much she uses her vitamix. She uses it anywhere from 4-5 times a day.

But then that demo though…

Marie had come to the house and shown me quite a few things that the Vitamix was capable of.

This appliance is the real deal guys!

She made vegan ice cream for us. She made bell pepper soup. She made a green smoothie. And Nino, Gia, and myself were sold. I couldn’t wait to get my own Vitamix so that I could begin to make healthier dishes and decisions for our family.

Flash forward to the present: We have had our Vitamix now for a little more than two months, and both my husband and I have shed a few pounds with the healthier dishes we are able to prepare in a jiffy.

And because I am always looking to learn new things, when Terry Tantoco-Dy invited me to a little workshop Vitamix Philippines was hosting with Kristine Crouch at Abenson in BGC, I asked my best girl if she would like to tag along and make a day of it.

In fact, because my parents have been avid Vitamix users ever since, I asked them if they would like to join us. They were so happy that they came!

Managing Director, Ortrud Ting, Kristine Crouch, and myself after Kristine’s informative demonstration on her vegan recipes and the benefits of veganism lifestyle.

Kristine taught us a bunch of quick and easy recipes that I will definitely make at home. Gia and I were having such a good time at the workshop, we were already planning what we were going to be making today for lunch.
