Vitamix Blender recipe's

[lukenick1]

The recent Vitamix thread inspired me to start a recipe thread. I know this is a budget board but at the same time you can save money making your own foods with this blender. Does anyone care to share their favorite vita mix concoctions?
Much appreciated!

One of my favorite recipes is the Broccoli Cheese Soup from the Vitamix recipe book. I substitute rice or almond milk in place of regular milk.

I marked that thread so I could get the recipes. Then I looked online for the Book and found they were 50-75$ holysmokes!

So I'd love to have the ice cream one....milk ice? That's it?
