Review: Optimum Vac 2 Air Vacuum Blender. Hello friends.
(Please note: This post contains affiliate links). Review: Optimum Vac 2 Air Vacuum Blender.
Happy Thursday. It is my Birthday on Saturday and I am still on a mission to lose weight but also do more exercise and try eat healthier.
Optimum Vac 2 Air Vacuum Blender:
A few weeks ago I was kindly asked if I would like to join the ambassador program for Froothie UK. How exciting. Yes, please!
I had been admiring them on Facebook for a while now and have been wanting to try one of these Optimum Air Vacuum Blenders.
Review: Optimum Vac 2 Air Vacuum Blender.
Being an Ambassador for them means I get to try out all sorts of kitchen gadgets to review, starting with this amazing Optimum Air Vacuum Blender.
I love making smoothies however with the cold Winter I had stopped making them.
Review: Optimum Vac 2 Air Vacuum Blender:
Spring seems to have finally arrived so it is back to making yummy smoothies every day for breakfast.
I like making smoothies up and always try to make new flavours by adding seasonal fruit and veggies.
I usually make up any fun combinations with what fresh and frozen ingredients I have left over from the weekend shopping trip.
My Daughter came home from school and wanted to try it out straight away. We had a lot of fresh fruit in and she wanted to make a mixed fruit smoothie.
We used fresh fruit in this recipe but I would recommend mixing fresh and frozen fruit up to make the drink a bit colder. (Or add a few ice cubes which are no problem for this Blender.)
Strawberry, Kiwi, Banana And Pineapple Juice:
Ingredients:
4 big strawberries, hull and washed
1 kiwi, peeled and chopped
1 banana peel and cut into 3
8 fresh pineapple chunks
What To Do:
1.) Place all fruit into Optimum Vac 2 Air Vacuum Blender and set to smoothie mode.
2.) Serve straight away.
Yummy.
I made up a; Strawberry, Banana, Peanut Butter Ice Cream Smoothie:
Ingredients:
1 medium banana, peeled
1 large scoop of vanilla ice cream
1 large tablespoon of peanut butter
100ml Almond milk
3 large strawberries hull and washed
What To Do:
1.) Place all fruit into Optimum Vac 2 Air Vacuum Blender and set to smoothie mode.
2.) Serve straight away.
About The Optimum Vac 2 Air Vacuum Blender:
15 Different Functions:
A versatile device not just for energy-packed smoothies, you can also chop vegetables, crush ice and even knead bread dough with ease!!
Longer Shelf-life:
The Vacuum technology allows you to blend ahead of time and enjoy the same benefits and great taste of a freshly blended smoothie later.
Retains Freshness & Preserves Nutrients:
By blending in a Vacuum environment, the nutrients in the ingredients are fully preserved and freshness is retained until you open the lid.
Eliminates Discolouration & Oxidation:
Exposure to oxygen, or oxidation, compromises on the quality, texture and taste of the resulting smoothie. In a Vacuum, the resulting smoothie is finer, smoother and protected from separation and discolouration.
Maximises Nutrient Intake:
With the prevention of oxidation, the nutrients in fresh ingredients are fully preserved to ensure you receive the maximum nutrients from every smoothie. Other smoothie ideas:

Optimum Vac 2 Air Vacuum Blender Summary:
Firstly the health impact of this blender.
Usually with my favourite blender recipes by the time you have drunk the smoothie most of the Vitamins are lost. When exposed to the Air the Vitamins especially Vit C can be destroyed. So it has piqued my interest that this Blender creates a Vacuum keeping whatever you are blending fresh. Amazing!!
Mix up your favourite recipe before the gym or dog walk! pop in the fridge. Then when you come home a few hours later still a perfect Vitamin rich smoothie Wow.!! Hopefully going forward I will have more energy with all these extra Vitamins. Check back in a Month or Two to see if I am achieving my goals!!
Watch this YouTube video to illustrate the difference between this Blender and a normal one.
Optimum Vac 2 Air Vacuum Blender Final Thoughts:
Wow, very impressive Science behind the Blender and the Vitamins you consume. Even my eldest Son who has a Masters Degree from Loughborough University was impressed when he made a surprise visit!
I love it. Great for my smoothies as mentioned. Also, a lovely recipe book comes with the blender. With loads of great ideas. My Husband has been wanting homemade soup for work so that is my next project. Watch this space!!
Not often I would give a 5-star rating.
This though, no hesitation highly recommended.
5 out 5 for this amazing device. ☆☆☆☆☆
I have lots of other smoothies on the blog that could be made up in an Optimum Vac 2 Air Vacuum Blender Smoothie Recipes.

Thanks Kim 🙂
I love a good smoothie but our blender died at the end of last year and I haven't got round to replacing it yet – this sounds fab!
Author
Thanks, I am loving using it 🙂
I had to come and read your review as I had no idea what your review was going to be about – my baby brain couldn't get past the word 'vacuum''! You really gave it a run for your money, that's amazing that there's less vitamin loss. When I make smoothies I tend to do so in bulk to make all the washing up afterwards worthwhile but I hadn't thought about my second smoothie later in the day being less nutritious as a result.
Author
Ha, yes I never thought of that but it is in the title 🙂 Thanks for stopping by and the comment.
I recently bought one of them and i love it! Thanks for sharing the recipies
Author

Author
Thanks for stopping by Kira 🙂
I love all your smoothies and the combinations of fruits and flavours look really tasty. I hope you enjoy making the soup in it too.
Author
Thanks Nayna 🙂
I think a good blender is worth its weight in gold. I bought myself a Nutribullet a couple of years ago and it was lifechanging. I went from being someone who hardly ate any fruit to having a fruit smoothie every day. Frozen fruit is a great tip, I always keep some in the freezer and it means that I can always have a smoothie even when the fruit bowl is empty.
Author
Thanks Nikki. Yes I love adding frozen fruit as it makes the smoothies colder and creamer 🙂
Happy Birthday! I use ledner every single day to prepare healthy smoothies and soups. Mine is 8 years old, and it is not coping with the amount of work anymore. I know that soon I'll have to get a new one and it looks like the Optimum Vacuum blender is going to be the one 🙂 Great review! x
Author
Thanks lovely. If you use it a lot,it is seriously one to think about 🙂
Happy birthday for tomorrow. The blender looks fantastic.
Author
Aww, thanks Stella 🙂
What a fabulous machine. I love smoothies and this looks perfect. Have a happy birthday on Saturday
Author
Thanks Cathy. I am really impressed with this 🙂
Happy almost birthday!! Smoothies are so good!
Author
Aww, thanks Tamar 🙂
That's a very impressive blender. Totally appeals to my science background. I had a blender before we moved but I've no room for one at the moment. When we get a house I so want one of these!
Author
Thanks, me and my Husband are also impressed with the science bit about it 🙂
Some great recipe ideas! The blender sounds fab – it's great that it kneads dough & chops veg! x
Author
Thanks. I can not wait to try out all the other features 🙂
This looks like a perfect appliance to add to any kitchen and I am drooling now after your recipes. It makes doing so many tasks so easy, and as for smoothies, my three love them!
Author
Thanks Sonia. My kids love smoothies too (If I make them them) 🙂
This is rather cool, I'm glad you've shared the recipes too Claire, I hope you'll join the #chicandstylish #linkup too. x Jacqui Mummabstylish
Author
I Jacqui. Aww I am so behind this week. Hopefully I will be more organised for next week 🙂
This would save a lot of space in the kitchen, with all its different functions! I have a protein smoothie every day and my current blender is not really up to the job. However hard I try, there is always a lump somewhere!
Author
Thanks Lucy. I love making smoothies with protein and fresh fruit 🙂
We actually need a new blender and this one looks ideal! Going to show the wife this post!

Thanks Jonathan 🙂
