I love my Vitamix. I had the choice between keeping the S55 or using it for a giveaway. Since I don’t really need two I decided I would like to bless one of my readers with it instead. (Sorry this giveaway has ended but join my mailing list to find out about upcoming giveaways and new recipes!)
Features
Offers the ease and convenience of four pre-programmed settings in a personal blending size, taking the guesswork out of processing our most popular recipes.
4 Programmed Settings
The S55 offers the ease and convenience of four pre-programmed settings in a personal blending size, taking the guesswork out of processing our most popular recipes.
You’re In Control
The Variable Speed Control lets you fine-tune every texture—from smooth purées to chunky salsas—and everything in between.
Dishwasher Safe
The containers, blade base, lids, and seals are all top rack dishwasher-safe, making clean-up quick and easy.
Two Blending Containers
The S-Series offers two container sizes—a 20-ounce that becomes an instant travel cup with flip-top lid and a 40-ounce for small batches of soups, sauces, frozen desserts, and more.
There is a little part of me that wishes I kept it because it is small enough to make one drink at a time and would fit better on my tiny countertops. But, the bigger part of me is happy to share the Vitamix love.
Ok, [easyazon_link identifier=”B01CGRK6O4″ locale=”US” tag=”mercyandgrati-20″]raw cocoa butter[/easyazon_link]. This stuff is amazing! I was expecting it to be bitter like unsweetened chocolate but it’s not. It’s creamy and smooth and I think I could just eat it plain. I’m planning a few more recipes using it between now and Christmas so stay tuned.
You need a small amount for this recipe so a 1 lb bag will make 16 White Hot Chocolates. That comes to less than $1 per beverage. Much cheaper than a fancy coffee shop and much healthier.
Kid approved! I had to wrestle the mug away from her so I could keep taking pictures.

Nutrition
Matva says
Wished I’d follow my commen sense and used 2 t. of sweetener in this. I used 1/2 of suggested amount (1 1/2 T) and only drank it because of the expensive ingredients. I also had put in 1 T. Baobab powder because I’m sick. Way too sweet for me. Sounded good else.
Taryn says
Did you use gentle sweet?
Kerrie says
I just made the Peppermint White Hot Chocolate. I would recommend reducing the sweetener to 1 tablespoon or less as you can always add it later. I used 1.5 tablespoons of Xylitol and it was too much for us. Next time I will start with 1/2 and add if needed. Otherwise this wa# yummy and we will make it again.
