Your Vitamix blender isn’t just for smoothies, it’s for so much more, from creamy soups and dessert fillings to homemade nut butters and spice blends. I’m convinced it’s the most versatile tool in my kitchen, and after these 15 creative Vitamix recipes, you’ll feel the same way.

Smoothies and Drinks

Yes, your Vitamix can help you bake. Whether you’re whipping up a silky pie filling or mixing a one-blender batter, these recipes put that powerful blender to work.

Chocolate Blender Cake

This chocolate cake is made completely in the blender. Blend the frosting first, then the batter. No need for multiple bowls. Just blend, pour, and bake.

Soup Recipes

Blend up a couple savoury soups if you’re feeling something comforting and cozy!

Greek Lemon Rice Soup (Vegan Avgolemono)

Vegan avgolemono, or Greek lemon rice soup, is a truly comforting concoction—no chicken or eggs required. Creamy, tangy avgolemono hits the spot on a cold day.

Nut Butters and Other Spreads

Homemade nut butter is one of those things you’ll never buy again once you make it yourself. Your Vitamix can turn whole nuts and seeds into smooth, spoonable spreads with ease.

Roasted Pumpkin Seed Butter

Roasted pumpkin seed butter is an allergen-free alternative to nut butter. Deliciously creamy and nutty spread that’s easy to make at home with a blender.

DIY Spice Blends

Freshly ground spices taste worlds better than the pre-ground jars sitting in your pantry. This is where Vitamix’s dry grains container shines, but tbh, I prefer to use the 20-ounce personal cups, because they’re the perfect size for grinding small batches of spices.

Traditional Berbere Spice Blend (በርበሬ)

Berbere is an essential seasoning in Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine, and can be used as all-purpose spice blend in any savoury recipe that calls for warm spices.
