Before I get carried away with the chocolaty chewy energy bites recipe, let’s talk shop. I mean what’s new on the Vitamix Shop.
Say hello the oh so sexy, Powerful, Smart, and ChicAscent Series Vitamix!
The perks!
- Three program settings (Smoothies, Soups, and even nut butters)!! It automatically adjust to the container size you’ve selected! Which makes for consistent results.
- The motor base is able to read the container size your usingand thenadjusts the settings andblending times accordingly.
- Digital Timer allows you to blend without thinking. Haha, really! You’ll see why I love that feature below. Honestly, it helped meachievethe perfect texturefor these bites. Hence the “chewy” in the title.
Here’s the thing, I’ve beena long time Vitamix user,but this A3500 totally blew meaway! Especially with making this chewy energy recipe. I thought for sure I would have to scrap the sides or stop and blend again until I got the perfect consistency.
Um, no. I did not. I do not lie folks. The 5 ingredients blended right up (on the digital time functionsetting), then I placed the batter a bowl and rolled. Yep, simple as that.
So about the chocolatey chewy energy bites.
Ya, we’re going to blend these bad boys up now! Mmm k?
