It’s official. I’ve joined the “Vitamix Club”. After evaluating the cost of replacing my food processor and blender…. and reading many reviews of the Vitamix, (not to mention the 7 year warranty), I ended up investing in one of these beloved machines.
After careful research of the different models, as well as places to purchase one, I ended up buying the Vitamix Professional Series 300 from Williams Sonoma. I made the final purchase from Williams Sonoma for three reasons. Number one, for the military discount, number two, for the great customer service, and number three, for the amazing return policy. You can return anything, any time, for any reason.
The first drink I made was the Coconut Lime Green Tea Refresher. I have owned my Vitamix for five days now, and I have made salsa, smoothies, and two different veggie burgers (recipes soon to follow!) It is seriously a food processor, smoothie blender, and soup maker in one!!!
When I broke out the Vitamix for the first time I decided to create a new drink recipe. Since my two favorite summer drinks are Pina Coladas and the Starbucks Cool Lime Refresher, I thought… why not combine the two!! Viola! The Coconut Lime Green Tea Refresher!!
Try it… it’s the perfect Summer drink!
Coconut Lime Green Tea Refresher
(2-3 drinks)
1 Cup Double Strength Green Tea (cold)

Stevia to taste (or any other sweetener you prefer)
1 Cup Ice

Place all ingredients in blender. Blend until smooth.
