My Ferrari blender

Yes, finally I have waited till the day of my Ferrari blender arrival, my Vita Prep 3. Prior to this, I was stuck with the choice of Vitamix 5200 or Prep 3.

In Singapore, the 5200 costs more than a Prep 3 but it comes with a 3 year warranty and the BPA-free container. As for Prep 3, the warranty is only for a year and it's with the old container. But it's cheaper than 5200. So it's definitely a tough fight between the 2 models. However, why will I pay more for a 5200 whereby the price is actually cheaper in the US as compare to Prep 3. So the choice is clear.

Having said all these, this blender of mine is definitely the most expensive kitchen equipment that I have ever bought. So is the price worth it? My friends all jumped at me when they heard about it. Well, to me it's definitely worth it.

There are 2 reasons why I bought the blender. Firstly, it's for the recovery stage after my jaw operation, I'll need to be on liquid diet. Being a vegetarian who's trying to cut down her intake of milk, I definitely have no wish to survive the entire month with just milk. Next, I'm into this raw diet thing and I'm hoping for a 50% raw diet. Thus, the blender is definitely a good tool to make green smoothies!

I'm still playing with my blender, made some nut milk just now. I simply love the taste, it's yummy! It's always good to ask Mr Google for some nice recipes. Hopefully I can create more dishes from my lovely blender.
