What I’d email a friend wanting to know about the Food Processor Attachment

By Blending For Good’s Co-Founder, Lenny Gale

If you want to turn your Vitamix into a 2-in-1 appliance, get the Food Processor Attachment (FPA). It will expand your home chef game with precise slicing, chopping, shredding, and mixing. Where a Vitamix blender elevates your smoothies, soups, and sauces to top-chef quality, the FPA broadens the range of dishes you can try.

In our home, we use the FPA to make plant-based veggie lasagna (including the dairy-free ricota), homemade falafel, and potato-based recipes like hash browns. Folks into special-diet lifestyles like raw, WFPB SOS-free, low FODMAP, etc use it sometimes more than their main blender container.

The only minor concern is that the FPA is only compatible with Ascent (or Venturist) series Vitamix blenders.

The upshot is if you have the time to put it to work today, you’ll love having it as part of your Vitamix kitchen system.

What can the Food Processor Attachment make?

Like any food processor, the FPA excels at rapid slicing and shredding, usually for specialty salads and garnishes. It’s also great at mixing doughs and other baking needs. You can create:

• Fresh vegetable prep: Coleslaw, shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, and diced onions
• Doughs & batters: Pizza dough, pie crust, cookie dough, and quick breads
• Chopped ingredients: Nuts, herbs, breadcrumbs, and cheese
• Homemade spreads: Pesto, hummus, nut butters, and veggie patties
• Quick sauces: Fresh salsa, coleslaw dressing, and tapenade
• Sweet treats: Energy balls, date-based desserts, and crushed graham cracker crusts

Who the Food Processor Attachment may be for…

Home chefs and bakers

• Save counter space by using your Vitamix base instead of a separate food processor
• Perfect for recipe prep that requires both blending and food processing
• Easily switch between chopping vegetables, making dough, and blending sauces
• Ideal for batch cooking and meal prep

Specialty diet followers

• Great for plant-based cooking: Veggie noodles, plant-based cheeses, and raw food recipes
• Perfect for paleo and whole food diets: Create nut butters, energy balls, and fresh salsas
• Helpful for gluten-free baking: Mix alternative flour doughs and batters
• Ideal for raw vegan diets: Create vegetable “rice,” slaws, and raw desserts
• Essential for AIP (Autoimmune Protocol): Process compliant ingredients for veggie noodles, tiger nut flour recipes, and cassava-based dishes

Who It May Not Be For

• Homes not currently using a food processor and without concrete plans to do so
• Homes where storage is at a premium
• Those who rarely cook from scratch or primarily use their Vitamix for smoothies
• Cooks who already own and frequently use a full-size food processor they’re happy with

vs. Low-Profile 64-ounce Container

• Can slice
• Can shred
• Can mix (not blend) heavy batches
• Nut butters without manual intervention

“One base!”

★★★★★ Finally, I can do all my meal prep with one base! I used to drag out both my Vitamix and food processor for recipes. Now I just switch attachments – huge space saver in my small kitchen.

“Gamer change for AIP”

★★★★★ The slicing disc makes quick work of vegetables for sheet pan dinners, and it handles tiger nut flour doughs beautifully. Worth every penny for special diets.

“Sunday meal prep”

★★★★ Great for Sundays. The only downside is storage – you’ll need space for the attachment and discs. But compared to storing a whole separate food processor, it’s still a win for me..

“Doughs for days”

★★★★★ As a serious home baker, I love that I can mix dough and create fillings without needing multiple appliances. The power of the Vitamix motor really shows in how it handles tough doughs.
