*NEW* VITAMIX FOOD PROCESSOR | is it worth it? review + recipes
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
The new Vitamix Food Processor is an absolute game-changer. Using the standard blender base as the motor, all you have to do is swap the top container for a 2-in-1 high-powered blender plus food processor!
In today's video I'll review the new food processor, highlight it's features and benefits, and show what makes it unique. To test it out, I'll share a few tasty and healthy recipes. You know I've been a big fan of Vitamix for years, and I have a playlist both on my KZread channel and website (even more recipes over there!) so make sure to check those out. Enjoy!

WOW, A couple of years ago or maybe a bit less, I sent a mail to several of the blender manufacturers, asking them to make this, telling them that it makes no sense not to utilize that great motor for more than just blending, that it makes a lot less sense to buy a separate food processor with a weaker motor, that it is the right thing to do for the environment etc etc. I think Vitamix was one of those I mailed. Maybe they listened? 😊👏 No matter if I was the one who gave them a kick in the butt for making this or not, I am really happy that they made it! 👏👏👏😋
What do you guys think? If you own a Vitamix Ascent or Venturist model, are you going to buy this new food processor attachment? Let me know! xo - Lisa

Love it! I have a stainless steel 3500plus bought in 1990! Use it every day and I want a new one but my hubby jokes that it’s only halfway through its life!! He also says the power in the neighborhood dims whenever I turn it on lol They sure do make durable products ❤️
What I really like about this is the snap in place instead of plastic turn and and click in as food processors have. My last food processor plastic broke off so this is a much smarter system I feel. Would make a great wedding gift for my son and daughter in law! ;) Love the concept of less shelf space!
For easier chocolate curls, take a vegetable peeler and run it along the side or bottom of a chocolate bar. They will be smaller, but easier.

Happy Birthday, Lisa. Thanks for sharing such helpful food information. I have used some of your recipes. And, your previous Vitamix recommendation was influential in my purchase of one last year!
Wow! This is amazing!! I am adding the Vitamix food processor and a new Vitamix to my Christmas list! :) Also, love the recipes!
At last!!!!! years asking for this!!!! Thanks for reviewing.
So very well explained, thank you. I bought a Vitamix based on your advice and recipes, can’t wait to get the blender! ✨💖💫🇬🇧
I’ve been saving up so I can invest in a vitamix and now I’m even more excited about the new food processor! I can’t wait!
I never understood why there are not more blender/food processor combos. This is great.

Thanks so much for reviewing the vitamix food processor 👍🏼 I saw an add of it on IG and was hoping you would do a review of it. Definitely looks like a game changer and love the recipe of the vegan cheesecake looks delicious 😋 so glad you are doing more vegan recipes for us who are plant based
Thanks for this insightful video! Love the look of all those recipes. Great job!!
Hi Lisa. First, I am late but Happy Birthday! Second, thank you for those nice and fancy recipes. I am definitely adding the Vitamix into my wishlist, in the hope to find a discount or big sales someday.
I just bought a used 5200 Vitamix on Marketplace, she moved into a 160sf apt and just didn't have the room for it any longer. I'm so excited to start using it and trying some of your recipes with it.
Ok I’m getting one the whole shabang the blender and food processor yayyyy I’m glad they are all together now! Thank you!
Happy birthday! Excellent job as always.
That is so awesome!! I love the large chute and the fact that one machine can do double duty!
What a wonderful review and recipe!! 💜💜💜 There is no way Vitamix could do a more professional, inspiring and educational ad or guide! Great job Lisa! And Happy Birthday! 💜💜💜

Wow! Great timing! I was looking at a high end food processor, but I have a Vitamix👏🏼
Love it. Was so happy to see it this morning 🙌🏾
To me the most appealing part of it is how high the cutting disks sit. There is no gap between the feeder and the blade which allows produces to be completely sliced. With my current kitchen aid food processor I always end up with a nub of carrot, cucumber etc stuck at the tops and pieces that didn't get shredded.

Yes, there was definitely less scraps that got stuck above the disc.
Dear Lisa, I have been looking into buying my first vitamix for a while and my only draw back was that I would have to have two separate machines ( a blender and a food processor). Your video finally tipped the scales - I have found the ultimate winner!🏆 Thank you

We bought ours this past weekend. Excited to try it out! 🤩
I just purchased this Vitamix and food processor. It’s great. I have the older model Vitamix and I must say, it was worth it to upgrade.

So a couple of days ago I bought A vitamix, I forgot which one but it was $500. They didn’t have the A Series in store so I figured that one would be fine but honestly after seeing this video I’m ready to take it back and I’m going to just order this one off-line. You make it look so nice! Love the content of your videos always💕
You are a food genius. You should have your own TV show on food network. I miss when they put on shows where people actually taught you how to cook and give recipes. Now its always some competition. 1 or 2 are fine. But they just overdo it now. And now when it comes to Halloween and Christmas they start with those like 2 months ahead of time and its on repeat ALL DAY!!! Like enough already. Thank goodness for the internet where people like you teach us so much. I thought I was pretty good in the kitchen but you humbled me haha.
Love this device a lot, also these recipes are amazing and looking yummy

I got a Breville Sous chef for $100 more than the price for this food processor that comes with multiple attachments and is great to work with. This could have been a great addition if the price point was right. But great recipes btw! Chocolate swirl trick was amazing!
I got the a2300/processor package. I'm so excited!
Wonderful review and great recipes. Hope you had a great birthday!

I moved to the US and had to get a new blender. I loved my Wilfa I had and tried Blendtec and Ninja here but they couldn’t even do a regular smoothie, kept blending and blending and it didn’t get smooth. My kids asked ‘what’s that black stuff?’ when they saw the little blueberry ‘peels’ because the Wilfa blended them. Finally decided to buy a Vitamix and it does the job wonderfully! I also later bought the food processor, extra thin blade because I want finely shredded carrots etc, and some other attachments. Now we’re moving back again and I’ll have pry half a suitcase full of Vitamix stuff 😅 it’s not as easy to get a hold of there and also way spendier. I will have to buy a new base and wet container because the electricity is different so it won’t work there. I use the Vitamix every day, food processor attachments several times a week. It’s so so awesome! Especially making caramel balls, just a bunch of dates, vanilla powder (pure black), pinch of salt and just a little bit of coconut oil because the Vitamix is so powerful! It really makes it soooo smooth and I love rolling them into little balls and sometimes dip in melted 85% green & black’s chocolate.

Do check compatibility, some collects here suggest the US accessories don’t fit the non US bases. Let us know what you find out for your specific model and country.
Thank you soooo much! I have this bundle in my Costco cart but wasn't sure it was worth the extra cost for this - it's a blender/processor bundle. Thank you. Your video convinced me.
