Hi, I’m Shalva Gale.

Recipe developer and the reason the food around here is any good. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Let’s connect:

shalva & lenny

You got a Vitamix for a reason. Everyone does.

Tell me if this sounds familiar.

At book club the other night, Shalva and her friends were talking the Vitamix machine. Six hands went up to say they had one. How many were using it like they planned to? Zero.

If you know that feeling, you’re one of a million. You got it to make magic, but it never happened. Blending For Good is built to change that.

Itโ€™s a decade-learned approach, bottled up for Vitamix owners of 10 days or 10 years.

You already did the hard part. You got the Vitamix.

Now you just have to decide what you want to do with it.

Thanks for checking us out. Consider this your invitation to give Blending For Good a try. We’d be honored to have you join us.

Lenny Gale, lenny@blendingforgood.com

Your Member Home goes live the moment you join. This week’s Tasting Menu, The First 52, the full recipe library โ€” it’s all there.

Know someone who just got a Vitamix?

This is the thing to get them. A new Vitamix is an exciting purchase and an easy one to underuse. Give them Blending For Good and they’ll actually get what they paid for.

Help me understand…

Think Times Cooking subscription meets Strava meets Duolingo meets Mel Robbins meets your neighborhood friends who want to cheer you on for using your Vitamix.

We’ll let subscriber Meredith answer this one: “I was already familiar with your YouTube, so I hesitated. But now I’m actually trying new things, and liking them, and eating better again.”

We’ll let subscriber Beth answer this one: “I’ve been with Vitamix for 30 years, ever since a cancer scare in my late 30’s. But this helped me restart my love affair with the Vitamix.”

Blending For Good is about using your Vitamix every day, about eating better, about trying new things. The recipes are how you practice it.

Ask Future You. Does Future You regret an investment in yourself that holds you accountable for taking care of yourself?

Quick question before I begin…

Yes. And because of Blending For Good, it’ll be the most-used thing in your home. So get the best one you can afford.

In all likelihood, yes. Any Vitamix model purchased as new in the last 25 years will work. Though you may want a 48-ounce container if you do not have one already.

About 10 minutes a day once you have the hang of it. Jumpstart walks you through getting there.

That’s what the 7-day free trial is for. If you go through the first week with our Introductory Program Jumpstart and don’t have what you need to succeed, cancel.

Yes. No calls, no retention loops, no guilt. Cancel from your account settings in about 30 seconds.

We don’t use the word vegan because it carries baggage. Everything is plant-based โ€” real, whole ingredients that people across the dietary spectrum love. The recipes are designed to please people of good taste. We’re not asking you to give anything up. Many of the recipes are good starting places to add whatever protein you want.

That’s what Jumpstart is designed to solve. Instead of handing you 200 recipes and wishing you luck, Shalva walks you through one technique per day for 7 days, then checks in weekly for 30 days. By the time you finish, you have habits โ€” not just recipes.

One of our most common stories involves a skeptical spouse who ends up using the Vitamix more than the person who signed up. The cashew queso alone has converted more meat-and-potatoes families than we can count.

Questions about the food…

Sometimes! We’re 100% plant based and in most cases, you can make them WFPB SOS-Free. But I should say, one of our most popular recipes among people of all diets, our Creamy Wild Rice Soup is WFPB.

In most cases, yes. And if not, they’re usually substitutable.

We have several allergy-friendly recipes for nut-free situations. But many of our recipes use tree nuts, unfortunately. Let us know if you’d like help with a substitute โ€“ we’re all about inclusion here.


You got the thing to do the thing.

So let yourself. If you’ve made it this far, the only thing holding you back is you.
