“I love using it because of its ability to whip air into ice cream or tonics or even coconut milk - it gives the fluffiest mouthfeel that no other blender can replicate,” she says. Moon Juice founder Amanda Chantal Bacon employs the Vitamix at her shops but has one at home as well. When I was head of product at Daily Harvest, I used it every day for research and development,” says Jessica Young, former fine-dining chef and founder and current CEO of Bubble.

“This blender is industry standard and used across most professional kitchens. “It comes with a 64-ounce container, but a few months ago I got a 32-ounce one, too, to make things like curry paste and hummus without having to triple the volume.” Finally, it’s got a lower profile than many, able to sit underneath most regular kitchen cabinets. Nisha Vora, creator of Rainbow Plant Life, points out that you can buy additional compatible parts, too. “If any piece of it gets run down or stops functioning properly, they take care of it,” Frenkiel says.
