Can my Vitamix do my taxes?

I recently was gifted a Vitamix, which in my opinion is the “Porsche” of blenders on the market today. This masterpiece can create everything from smoothies, to soups, and is even self-cleaning. The word in the “blender community” is that it can even do your taxes. This was a much-appreciated Christmas gift and I will not be making as many trips to Starbucks in the future.


After searching for coffee and Frappuccino recipes, I came across an easy and delicious recipe that takes just about a minute to create without taking out a mortgage at Starbucks for the same drink. And you can customize it to personal choice. Live on the edge and throw in an avocado and go banana, or better yet throw that little guy in there as well! If it’s holiday season and the family is talking politics. Throw in some Jameson’s whisky. Hey, It’s the holiday! Just don’t drive.


Lisa’s Spicy Italian Frappuccino

1 ½ cups of almond milk, or coconut, or soymilk

1 ½ cups of semisweet chocolate chips

¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon

2 teaspoons of instant espresso

1/8 teaspoon of chili powder


· Set the timer or keep track of 1 minute.

· Place the setting on 8 to begin and increase it to 10 for the last 15 seconds or so to make sure the chocolate becomes creamy and all the chocolate is smooth.


Add On options:

· Keep in mind you can add an avocado, more chili pepper, or whatever you like to make it creamier. This is a great afternoon drink for whenever. The best part is, that you didn’t have to wait on a long line at a fancy coffee shop and spend a fortune.


Tada! You are all set to enjoy!


Let me know how you like it?
