How to Make Smoothies in Vitamix with big Carafe

I've been making my dessert smoothies in this big carafe for quite a while and it do gets a little tricky sometimes but I'll show you what to do.

The main thing to remember with making smoothies in a Vitamix with big carafe like this is to add your liquids FIRST, dry stuff, then ice and frozen fruit on top.

Step-by-step Guide:

1. Add the liquids.
2. Add the dry ingredients.
3. Add ice and frozen fruits.
4. Turn it on and gradually raise the numbers slowly and use the tamper to mix the ingredients in. In this big carafe it's a bit harder to push down the ingredients because there's not a lot in there. What I occasionally do is take off the lid and scrape the sides once or twice.
