Advantages of using a Vacuum Blender

The Australian Heart Foundation says that healthy eating patterns don't focus on one type of food or one type of nutrient to promote heart health. Heart-healthy eating relies on a combination of foods, chosen regularly, over time.This style of eating is naturally low in saturated and trans fats, salt and added sugar. And it's rich in whole grains, fibre, antioxidants and unsaturated fats.  

Most of the recipes the foundation supplies have elements of blending your food. It is a fast and tasty way to get more of the needed nutrients, enzymes and anti-oxidants into your body whilst retaining the necessary fibre for a healthy digestive system.Blending is an excellent way to consume more raw foods and maintain a healthy diet every day. There are thousands of creative recipes using seasonal fruits and vegetables with simple but varied added extras. Create colourful vibrant blends and retain the value nutrients and fibres to keep you healthy, alert and vital.There are many versions of vacuum blenders on the market and Vitality 4 Life have a few high quality products.

The BioChef Apollo Vacuum Blender is the top of the range and has a noise suppression vacuum cover which signifcantly reduces the noise when blending.

The extra value with special vacuum pack accessories makes the BioChef Astro a stand out..

  • Prepare your blend once a week and enjoy all week long.
  • Retains vital nutrients longer.
  • Have your lunchbox ready to go every day.

What is oxidation?

Similar to when we chew, slice and chop, your blended food will immediately be subjected to the surrounding air. When food is exposed to oxygen their chemical composition changes and they begin to breakdown. This process is called ‘oxidation’. Scientists agree that vitamin C and the fat-soluble vitamins A and E are particularly prone to oxidation, and are lost over a relatively short period of time. The longer a fruit or vegetable is exposed to air and light, the less vitamins it will retain.

Advantages of Vacuum blending

Why are these vitamins important?

Vitamin A - Is important in many ways but mainly for maintaining healthy vision. A person with vitamin A deficiency could expect severe vision issues.Vitamin E is an antioxidant and incredibly important resource for our body to help combat disease and destroy free radicals such as those that cause cancer.Vitamin C is a superpower vitamin necessary for the development and repair of all body tissues. Its functions include absorption of iron, healing of wounds and maintenance of bones and teeth.

Your BioChef Astro vacuum blender will suck the air right out of the jug before you start to blend leaving important nutrients intact for longer and it doesn’t stop there! Transfer your blend into one of the provided containers and using the Airfree’s vacuum function you can once again remove any remaining air before you seal it.

When is the best time to drink a smoothie?

Unlike fresh juices, blended smoothies can be a good meal replacement when you are on the go. It is full of healthy vegetables and fruits and retains the important fibre leaving you feeling fuller and more energetic for longer. There is no ‘best’ time to drink a smoothie, it is more about what the best ingredients are to use at different times of the day.

Morning: High carbohydrate for energy with a dose of protein and fats to help keep your energy lasting longer. A smoothie high in fruit with some healthy fats and proteins like nuts and seeds thrown in will have you energetic and ready to go.

Lunch: Mid day is good time to go green. Pack you smoothie full of all things green and leafy for a middle of the day burst of energy. Combine with avocado, nuts and seeds keeping you satisfied until dinner time.

Snacks and Desserts: The ideal snack or dessert would be low in calories and high in flavour. A small delicious and low calorie smoothie is perfect. Mix fruits and milks of your choice together and add some cacao powder and nuts that is not only delicious but keeps those serotonin levels up for an even mood all through the day.

Vitalicious Green Smoothie

Vitalicious Green Smoothie
  • 1 glass water (you can use coconut water or green grapes if you prefer)
  • 1 green apple
  • 1 banana
  • 1 kale stalk
  • 1 celery stalk
  • 1/2 avocado
  • Superfoods of your choice - we use a tablespoon each of baby spinach, flax seeds and chia seeds
  • 2 dried figs

Drinking a glass of this for lunch every day you will really start to see the benefits of a green smoothie. Kale is being named the "king of greens" and is a superfood which will give you iron, Vitamin K, A and C, omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, fibre, calcium and more! You can replace the seeds with others you might prefer such as sunflower seeds for their healthy fats, beneficial plant compounds such as phenolic acids and flavonoids, and several vitamins and minerals.

The latest technology

The masticating/coldpress juicers were a breakout in the juicing world helping to keep our juices lasting longer and now vacuum blenders are doing the same for our blended foods and smoothies.

Blending food has been popular for many years, however, it has been frustrating for those who are time poor but looking to maximise the healthy benefits they get from their smoothies. Why? Mainly due to the fast oxidation of the food after it has been exposed to the air. Usually, you have to drink your smoothie pretty much immediately before it starts to breakdown and become unappetising and less nutritious. Engineers have now come up with the vacuum blender technology that sucks the air out of the jug before blending. You can now prepare your foods in advance and keep them for longer.
