Demonstration: Vitamix Perfect Blend | Life is NOYOKE

Hey, Lenny Gale, Life is NOYOKE.

Today, we're showing you the Vitamix Perfect Blend.

Cool? Yup! [music] So Vitamix sent us their new product, the Perfect Blend Interactive Scale and Recipe App.

We're really excited.

It's cool.

We've been playing with it for the last few days.

Actually, Shalva's been playing with it forthe last few days.

I'm more of a throw stuff in and see what happens.

So she's going to show you three cool things that she likes about it.

And since we only have one microphone rightnow, I'm going to pass the mic to her and go behind the camera to make sure we get some good shots of this new product.

Cool.

Cool.

Hopefully the.

[laughing] I don't need to do that again, right? No.

It was fine.

It was fine.

Okay, Shalvie's all mic'd up.

I'm going behind the camera.

So peace out.

So like Lenny said, I've been messing aroundwith this Perfect Blend for the weekend or so.

And there are three really cool things that I want to show you.

One is that it's pre-loaded with all thesereally cool recipes.

Two is that you can scale everything by calories,by serving size, by servings.

And that really matters to me.

And three is the precision of the scale, itself,and how it, kind of, interacts with you.

So the first thing I want to show you is the app that's pre-loaded with all these cool recipes.

So we'll see how well I do upside down here.

Everyone's going to know your password.

[laughing] Oh no! Okay, so the first thing you're going to see is that it is pre-loaded with all these really cool recipes that the Vitamix team has been working really hard on.

So if you do a quick scroll, you'll see alot of smoothies, some soups, some dressings, some sauces, and if you keep scrolling, you see some stuff like waffles, I saw some crepes earlier.

Really cool.

So that's a neat feature that it has already built into the app.

The other neat thing is that if you have aparticular craving for something, let's say it's pumpkin, which is a fall favorite around these parts.

How to type upside down.

Okay, so I typed in "pum", pump, and it's showing me the four recipes that feature pumpkin.

So creamy pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie dip, apumpkin spice smoothie, and a wellness smoothie.

Now the wellness smoothie doesn't actually have pumpkin in the title, but it does feature pumpkin.

So I'm really interested in making this creamy pumpkin soup.

But I'm not sure that I have all of the stuff I need to make it.

So you can see the recipe right here.

And, if you're like, you know what, I really do want to make this, but I don't have some of the ingredients, you can add them to yourshopping list, which I think is a really reallyneat feature.

So it makes it really easy on you.

I already have some of these things in my cabinet.

I have apple cider vinegar.

I have vegetable stock.

I have olive oil, etc.

So I can just add the things that I don'tthink that I have to my shopping list.

Added.

Great.

So let's say that I have decided to make a smoothie.

So.

Quick do.

I'm going to pick this blueberry ginger smoothie here.

So the blueberry ginger smoothie has.

Oops! It's a very good little thing, actually.

That's the first time it's tipped over onme, so that's pretty good.

Okay, so, the smoothie here, the blueberryginger smoothie has 480 calories.

That's kind of a lot of calories for a morning smoothie for me.

So I'm going to choose toedit it a little bit.

So right now I have one serving of this blueberrysmoothie that's 16 ounces.

So you know what? I don't need 16 ounces, I'm going to go fora 12 ounce smoothie and that brings me down to 360 calories, which is awesome.

That's about the range that I wanted to have my breakfast for.

What's really neat about this is if this were another recipe, I would have to scale everything back by a certain percentage.

And that math is, honestly, kind of hard to do.

With this app, it just does it for me because it's based on weight measurement and not necessarily a fourth of a cup, half of a cup, things like that.

So, that's one really cool thing.

That I can scale by calorie.

And, I can scale by serving size.

So Lenny likes bigger smoothies, doesn't careabout his calorie content.

So he'll probably have an 18 ounce smoothie.

It's 540 calories.

That's great.

If I want to make a couple of smoothies because I'm being nice this morning, I can make two12-ounce smoothies.

I'll still know that my calorie intake isgoing to be 360 here.

But now I'm making two 12-ounces and I'm just telling the scale, "Yo, I'm making two smoothies.

Not one.

" It's really easy if we had a couple of guests come over to make that into four,12-ounce smoothies.

Okay? So that's one thing I really love.

You'll notice I'm wearing a FitBit.

I love tracking calories.

I love tracking my steps.

And this scale helps me do that so well.

Okay, so the third thing that's really cool,not the last thing, there's plenty of cool things, but we don't want to bore you witha 20-minute video here.

The third thing that's really cool is onceyou do decide to make something, and I'm going to show you how to actually make a smoothie here, you'll notice how precise the scale itself is.

So I've chosen to make this chocolate blueberry smoothie.

Right? Is that the one we chose? Yes, I have all those ingredients.

Okay, so I am choosing to make this particular smoothie.

I am going to make three servings of this, and I'm going to choose 12-ounce smoothies.

So it's only 140 calories.

That's pretty awesome.

I'm using this as a snack.

So 140 calories is pretty legit here.

Okay, so the first thing that I do is placethe blender jar on the scale.

So you'll see right here that it's flashing a little bit.

It's telling me what to do.

[beep] That's a cool sound.

So I've got my bluetooth on, which means thescale is connected to my iPad here.

Very high-tech.

And I am telling the scale.

[beep].

That I am here.

And I did that twice, I don't know why.

And that I'm setting this container on it.

[beep] Okay, so that sound is telling me, okay, weknow how heavy your blender is, and you can start adding ingredients.

Now, I made a little mistake because I put it on with the lid.

And I don't want the lid to be a part of the measurements, so.

We're going to go back to this step.

[beep] [beep] Okay, so now we have the measurement of the container minus the lid, which is where we should have been in the first place.

Okay.

So then we're going to start adding some ingredients.

So, the cool thing about this is that I don't need to measure.

It's going to tell me.

So I'm going to start dumping ingredients in, and it will tell me how I'm doing.

So you see that little yellow line that's going up here? That's telling me good job.

Good job.

Good job.

You're almost there.

[beep] Okay.

Stop.

That's pretty cool.

It's giving me instant feedback.

You're doing well.

Stop blending.

Okay, so the next thing is chia seeds.

Now normally, chia sees is something thatI would measure pretty precisely, so let's see.

Ch-ch-ch-chia! Aright, I'm almost at the brink here with chia.

[beep] Aright! So it's telling me I've reached my chia seed max.

The next thing is cocoa powder.

Now I told you guys Vitamix is the one thatput these recipes in, so they're doing it in the correct order.

Liquids first then soft ingredients then frozen fruits.

So they know what's up.

They're doing it in the correct order for me.

Okay, so cocoa powder.

It's pretty precise.

So I'm being careful and slow.

[ding] Aright! Chocolate in.

Next.

Spinach.

So right now, it's showing me I have zerocalories worth of spinach in.

But once I start adding some spinach.

[laughter] Lenny says my hair is in the way.

Once I start adding some spinach, it'll showme how many calories I'm getting.

So that was two calories of spinach.

Three calories.

Six seven calories of spinach.

I'm obviously not that precise with spinach.

I will eat buckets of spinach.

[ding] Okay.

So 15 calories worth of spinach.

I reached my spinach goal here.

Banana.

With the banana, I can't just put the wholething in because I'm not really sure how much I need here.

So I'm just going to do this until it tellsme that I've reached my max.

Now, obviously once you get more comfortablewith it, you don't have to go nearly as slow.

But I.

[ding].

Want to make sure we doing it right.

Right? Okay, so that was my banana.

And the next thing is frozen blueberries,which I think we have, right Lenny? Yup! Aright.

Frozen blueberries.

[ding] Woah! Oops! So it didn't move up yet, so sometimes, it's okay, sometimes it gets a little confused and thinks you're still going on the banana.

So my bad.

I needed to tell it my banana's out and I'mmoving on to blueberries now.

Now, like I said, it's a total learning process.

So if possible, and this actually is an ingredientthat I can easily scoop out, do that.

Because you don't want your whole thing to be way off.

Obviously it's not the worst if there's afew extra blueberries in there, but.

Okay.

So now that it's highlighted.

The frozen blueberries are highlighted, that'show it knows that I'm on to blueberries here.

Okay, so see how now it's measuring blueberries? C'mon blueberries! [ding] Aright, so it's telling me I'm done with blueberries.

And see how the little line is just right there? I'm actually going to actively choose ice so that it knows that I'm on to the next ingredient here.

So, six ounces of ice.

Ice ice ice! And this is in the right.

The right order here.

Okay? I am ready to blend.

So.

On to the Vitamix is goes.

Okay? [blending] I'm going to blend it for about a minute becausethere's spinach in there.

[blending] This is gonna be good.

I've never made this recipe before.

It looks tasty.

The chia's are getting all smashed up in there.

[blending] Aright, so I blended it.

All good on the blend.

And now I'm going to serve it.

So, what's really cool is when I choose to serve it, I can put this pint glass down.

[beeps] And it just measured it like it did with the blender jar.

It's saying, hey, I know there's a pint glass on me now.

And I'm going to pour my serving and it's going to tell me when I'm almost there.

Okay, so that black line means you hit your serving.

So.

That's my serving limit.

I've got almost 13 ounces and 116 calories.

So you know what? I want a little bit more.

I'm willing to go to about 140 calories on this here.

So, aright, perfect.

If someone is tracking that specifically,that's the best way possible know exactly how many calories of what you're making you have.

So, the last thing that you can do that'sreally cool is track that serving.

So I've got 140 servings, and that is beingfed into my Apple Health app.

So if I pull up that app, I can see all of the carbs that I had and all the fiber thatI had and the sugar, etc.

So.

It's a really, really cool product.

We'll be back with probably more of theselittle features that are cool.

But the last thing I want to mention is thatyou can actually add in your own recipes.

So one of our favorites, cashew queso, we added into here.

We've got our PB&J smoothie right here.

So I've added this in.

This is one of our favorites.

At some point we'll show you how to do that, too.

But this is a pretty cool addition to your Vitamix.

If you're a Vitamix lover and you're a fitness app tracker, this is a really, really cool addition to your Vitamix collection.

So read our review, see how we messed withthis a little bit more.
